    Ogilvy’s new campaign for processed food company Nilon’s has a series of films to showcase their range of products. The campaign released on TV and digital media features Pankaj Tripathi as a cooking obsessed gangster and shows the love that goes into making Nilon’s products with tagline ‘Isme Pyaar Mila Hai’.

    Said Dipak Sanghvi, Managing Director, Nilon’s: “Wheneveryou see Pankaj Ji’s shows or movies, it never seems like he’s acting, since it comes so naturally to him. Similarly, at Nilon’s, making topmost quality products with passion comes naturally to us. What made us choose Pankaj Ji as our brand proponent was the shared passion for doing things well along with the secret ingredient called love. This also led us to choose our tag line, ‘Isme pyaar mila hai’.”

    Added Rajheev Agarwal, Director and CEO Nilon’s: “We are very excited about our new campaign with Pankaj Tripathi. The commercials have come out very entertaining, with lots of drama and a fun quotient. We have already received glowing response to them. Full credit to the Ogilvy team and director Prashant Issar.”

    Said Anurag Agnihotri, Managing Partner, Creative, Ogilvy India-West: “Nilon’s was going to create brand communication after a very long time hence what was required most was achieving high recall and memorability. For a category which mostly talks to homemakers, we introduced Mr. Pankaj Tripathi, a very unlikely candidate into the mix but as a food loving gangster who spreads the message of love through his love for cooking. We hope these ads will be memorable.”

    Said Prerna Dubey Gupta, Lead – Integrated Strategy and Partner, WolfzHowl: “We are excited to have Tea Valley on-board with us as it’s one of the fastest growing tea brands. Purpose is a way to create sustainable profitability for the brand and its people; to do that for a wonderful brand like Tea Valley in a challenging and crowded tea category is really exciting for us. As an integrated brand consultancy with expertise of more than 8 years in creating brand purpose across categories, we are cognizant of the fact that the end output should not be just a purpose-sounding film or a positioning brand with a bunch of CSR initiatives. While crafting brand purpose, what we aim for is to truly make a difference to people’s life while being extremely profitable with a high impact in the market.”

    Added Vallabh Keswani, Marketing Manager, Tea Valley: “Tea Valley is more than just a tea brand. Our aim is to create the finest, richest and most affluent tea blends in the country. We recognised early on that brand purposing can make a significant difference to the lives of people and communities, which ultimately creates lasting value and differentiation for brands, much beyond just profitability on its own. Tea as a product is highly penetrated and the presence of local jewels is pretty dominant so every market would require a different strategy and identifying a purpose early will also bring in consistency in brand communication. For this, we looked at a lot of agencies and figured out that Wolfzhowl was the best consultancy to partner with. Their deep understanding of the consumer as well as the tea market is what swayed us in their favour. What sealed the deal for us was how they want to bring the purpose to life beyond just a film and how they also focus on creating a brand purpose that impacts brand profitability while making the consumer’s life better.”
