    By Our Staff

     

    Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited launched unique designs of facemasks that carry curated messages on spreading awareness and acceptance of mental health issues, ahead of World Mental Health Day on October 10..

     

    Said Ruchika Varma, Chief Marketing Officer, Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited: “Mental health is a silent and widespread issue, and the pandemic has only made it worse. In today’s fast paced world, there is increasing evidence to support that mental health issues are proliferating across geographies, age groups and genders. We believe that a good starting point to address these issues is to normalize conversations around mental health and to encourage those who are suffering from such issues to seek help. Considering that the facemask has now become a mainstay, we think that spreading awareness about mental health through messages on these face masks is a unique way to drive the point that mental health is as important as physical health. It is our way to urge Indians to take their mental health seriously, and to speak up and take action if they are suffering.”

    By Our Staff

     

    Philips Airfryer has launched a consumer-focused campaign #Perfect360Review. The TVC features chef Ranveer Brar.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Gulbahar Taurani, Managing Director, Philips Domestic Appliances said: “We were the first ones to introduce airfryers to the Indian market and have built the category from scratch.  Being the category pioneers, it was not only important to drive category education, but imperative to help consumers in making an informed choice. While the consumers are increasingly becoming health conscious, properly cooked tasty food is non-negotiable. And our Airfryer just ensures that! Through the #Perfect360Review campaign, we wanted to showcase how healthy and tasty food should be an easy choice along with highlighting the supremacy of Philips Airfryer range, equipped with cutting-edge technology. Thanks to the convenience and variety it has to offer, the product fits in seamlessly with today’s busy lifestyle and is a perfect gadget for the modern kitchen and household.”

     

    Added Ritu Sharda, CCO, Ogilvy India (North): “It’s always a joy to create work for a product that has something unique about it. This brief was so much fun yet challenging. The task was simple that we need to showcase how Philips Airfryer is different and better than the competition. This gave us the idea of basing the campaign on the product’s USP of 360-degree even frying, something which is unique only to Philips Airfryers. We took this product centric brief and gave it a relatable human story. Something that anyone who loves cooking or simply cooks for their loved ones will identify with. So, what we have is a campaign that shows the Philips Airfryer acing the 360-degree review of a hard-to-please character. Such as a celebrity chef, for instance. We had fun developing this concept and hope that the audience will relate to it and find it enjoyable at the same time.”

Of adventure and credibility. We saw a great refreshing opportunity in pitching it in this world of him and his gully boys. This is our fastest campaign ever. From cracking it to getting it approved and getting Ranveer on board, everyone involved didn’t take much to be convinced. We’re pretty excited with the outcome”

The enthusiasm Ranveer exudes is the attitude we are trying to infuse into the young crypto ecosystem. We also believe Ranveer’s authenticity will help instil trust into this new asset class and encourage wider acceptance and understanding.

    By Our Staff

     

    On the eve of World Sight Day (October 14), Titan Eyeplus released a digital video featuring brand ambassador Ayushmann Khurrana to spread awareness about eye health.

Access and awareness continue to remain the key concern resulting in low adoption. In a recent study done in Bangalore where we reached out to over 11,000 people, the result was even more shocking. 58% of these people needed vision correction but only 36% were users or aware of this requirement. To address this lack of awareness, we have created a simple, accessible and self-administrable screening.  We have digitized one of the 20-step-eye-test that we conduct at Titan Eyeplus known as Duochrome test. As we approach World Sight Day, let this be a baby step towards” India with Clear Sight”.
