  • There is a serious and conscious effort to make sure that their family is protected from disease

    Lowe Lintas unveils new campaign for ‘Lal Hit’

    By A Correspondent

     

    Following on with its brand messaging of cockroaches spread diseases, Lowe Lintas Mumbai has unveiled a new campaign for its product LAL HIT. Taking a different approach this time around, the brand seeks to target women who depend on chalk and home remedies to solve the “roach” issue.

     

    Women today, are extremely particular about their housekeeping etiquettes. There is a serious and conscious effort to make sure that their family is protected from disease. While they are aware that the presence of cockroaches at home is not a healthy sign, their belief is that their current solution, i.e., chalk, boric powder, etc. is good enough to keep cockroaches at bay and hence she has no reason to opt for a change. However, cockroaches have their own hideouts and these solutions are ineffective in killing these cockroaches that often cause various illnesses.

     

    With this as the driving point, the new campaign gives the women a compelling reason for adopting LAL HIT, which with its unique seek-and-kill applicator reaches even the difficult and hard-to-reach corners and kills the hidden cockroaches.

     

    Sharing his thoughts on the new campaign, Ajay Dang, Head Marketing – Home Care, Godrej Consumer Products Limited said, “A mother always does her best to keep her family and child healthy. Through her regimen and choice of solutions she achieves this goal every day. Poor solutions and lack of information at times gives her a false sense of security.  And her effort fails despite her trying her best.

     

    The communication is simple and straight forward highlighting the fact that cockroaches spread diseases like food poisoning, diarrhea and dysentery. The key idea was to inform the mother on how solutions like chalks and home remedies are ineffective in killing hidden cockroaches and therefore put her family health at risk.”

     

    Elaborating on the creative approach that was followed for the campaign, Arun Iyer – National Creative Director, Lowe Lintas + Partners said, “While the brief was very direct and clear, the task to make people change their current regimen is always difficult, especially in a low involvement category. With our target group (mothers), we realized that it’s not just the kid’s health and wellbeing that is entrusted to her, but even the ill health of the child is something she is held responsible for. So our creative idea puts the mother at the center of the film and amplifies how she gets blamed for the child falling ill, whereas the real reason is not her but her reliance on ineffective cockroach solutions.”

     

    The campaign has just gone live and will be played across major entertainment, news and sports channels in India. The on-air campaign will be ably supported by a plethora of activities on other media platforms like print, radio, digital, etc soon.

  • Captures this in a light-hearted but easily graspable manner through a similar theme to its last TVC

    Cartrade.com showcases its wide choice of used cars in new TVC

    By A Correspondent

     

    CarTrade.com has come up with another creative campaign that showcases the abundant selection of cars being offered to its customers. Created by Madison BMB, the TVC positions CarTrade.com as the one-stop shop for all your used car buying needs, thus reiterating the core message of its earlier ad, ‘Car Hai Lena, CarTrade Hai Na’.

     

    The TVC presents six dogs named Speedy, Seth Ji, Cookie, Goga, Paris and Bosco who are happily riding in their favorite cars. The film shows Speedy cruising in his Fast car, Seth Ji relaxing in his Luxury Car, Cookie and Goga driving their Large and Small cars. This is followed by Paris in her stylish car and Bosco enjoying his Naughty Car ride. The TVC informs the car buyers about the comprehensive and largest selection of used and new cars available at CarTrade.com.

     

    Bharath Sastry, Business Head – Consumer, said, “Our latest TV ad campaign highlights one of the key differentiating features of CarTrade.com. We wanted to showcase that we have the widest choice of used cars in an interesting way. In our earlier creative, we used dogs as the key characters and consumers found the concept endearing and hence we have carried it forward in this TVC as well.”

     

    Raj Nair

    Raj Nair, Chief Creative Officer, Madison BMB said, “After the success of the recent campaign, we looked to see how we could refresh the franchise. The result is this commercial that looks to entertain and help CarTrade.com to differentiate itself in the online car sales segment. The core message is the same, with the Lakhon used cars and Hazaaron certified cars taking centre stage, but with a fresher, more captivating and engaging idea and execution.”

     

    The TVC of one of India’s largest auto classified platform highlights that it has over 1,65,000 used car listings including thousands of certified cars that come with free warranty for buyers. Furthermore, the convenience and comfort of buying a car through CarTrade.com is perfectly reflected in the tagline, ‘Car Hai Lena, CarTrade Hai Na’ (If you have to buy a car, you can count on CarTrade). Initially the ad will air on television through popular English, Hindi and regional channels.

     

  • The TVC is an exaggerated and humorous twist to how Scotch-Brite acquired its quality of long life

    Scotch-Brite unveils campaign to promote Scrub Pad

    By A Correspondent

     

    Scotch-Brite has unveiled a new campaign to re-launch its, a unique wave shapedscrubber with the power of stain cutters.

     

    In a low involvement category with very little perceived differentiation, where many small players with similar looking green pads exist, it was important to communicate the superiority of Scotch-Brite scrub pad. Hence the agency’s starting point was to identify the one singular benefit and elevate it. An enormous amount of research, showed us that this key benefitis its long life.

     

    The TVC is an exaggerated and humorous twist to how Scotch-Brite acquired its quality of long life. ‘The Legend of Scotch-Brite’ depicts a woman washing utensils when an old man comes and asks her for some water. The old man then transforms into a divine beingand pleased with the woman’s generosity of spirit, asks her what boon she’d like. The woman wishes for long life. But while granting the boon,the divine being gets distracted and the ray of light from his palm instead hits the scrub pad near her, the scrub pad turning into Scotch-Brite scrub pad – with really long life.

     

    Ram Jayaraman, Executive Creative Director, GREY group Bangalore says:“Scotch-Brite Scrub Pad is not just the category leader, but is the category itself. It’s the only scrub pad with Stain Cutters – innovative Alox particles that treat dirt like dirt. This pad lasts so much longer than other me-too green pads that it feels like a divine miracle. The film is a respectful – albeit entertaining – attempt to demystify the legend.”

     

    Sanjit Satapathy, Country Business Leader, Consumer Business Group, 3M says: “We have a superior product. Scotch-Brite Scrub Pad, with stain cutters and unique s-shape has a really long life. We needed an interesting way to communicate this benefit and our agency, GREY, brought this out quite beautifully with their funny, quirky script that all of us liked.  The result – a very interesting TVC communicating the product benefit in a way that is unique to this category.”

     

  • Reinforces its market leadership position with focus on ease of app ordering

    #DontCallJustInstall, says foodpanda

    By A Correspondent

     

    Foodpanda is all set to kick-start its latest ad series to turn the spotlight on mobile app ordering.The ad campaign has been conceptualised by Percept India. Produced by HOUSEFULL MOVIES and directed by SharatKatariya of Dum LagaKeHaisha fame, the TVC reflects the ease of ordering food with a few taps on one’s phone. Reinforcing the message of the ad film, the visuals rightly capture the tagline “Don’t Call,JustInstall”

     

    The six week long campaign has rolled out already and will span through radio ads, mall activations and corporate activation programs.

     

    The witty ads showcase the nightmarish the food ordering process can get via phone. Bad connections, wrong addresses, late deliveries and limited options are some problems that customers can combat while booking through the app. The ads further leverages its mascot- the Panda, playfully to add the required spunk.

     

    Saurabh Kochhar CEO(India) and CBO (Global), foodpanda said, “Our constant endeavor at foodpanda is to curb food ordering ruckus in India. Through the TVCs, we aim to capture the value additions that our services bring to the customer via our app. The availability of an app like ours, not only nicks down the cumbersome task of searching for phone numbers and ordering, but also provide the ease of choosing from a slew of options as per one’s taste and needs”.

     

    S. Suresh, Senior Vice President, Percept said “foodpanda wanted to reinforce itself as the go-to place for customers primarily for the diverse options they offer and for the convenience of ordering. To achieve the same, we have tried to create fun commercials through some everyday situations that all foodies will relate to. At a time when we rely on technology for everything, there’s no reason why we should resort to obsolete ways for ordering food.”

     

    Available on iOS, Windows phone and Android, the foodpanda mobile app promises convenience, speed and fuss-free food ordering and delivery. The new TVC urges customers to download the app now and satiate one’s hunger pangs in a jiffy.

  • New campaign is aimed at increasing market share by positioning Limca as the ultimate thirst quencher

    Leo Burnett leans on ‘Bhaag Bittoo Bhaag’ for Limca

    By A Correspondent

     

    Leo Burnett has launched a brand new campaign for Limca in a bid to establish the drink as the ultimate thirst quencher and gain market share in India’s highly competitive soft drink market. The campaign will also help the brand strengthen its popular Lime N Lemoni credential.

     

    Based on humour that is deeply rooted in an Indian cultural context, the new Limca campaign ‘Bhaag Bittoo Bhaag’ succeeds in creating a new language for the brand.

     

    The campaign looks at a scenario where the boy’s family has come to see the girl. The film juxtaposes the mother’s voice raving about dishes cooked by her daughter with the shots of her son running around to buy the same from the market. His journey from one shop to another and back home gives rise to an extreme thirst that can only be quenched by Limca.

     

    Raj Deepak Das

    Raj Deepak Das, Chief Creative Officer, Leo Burnett India, said, “Limca has always been part of India’s quirks and traditions. With this campaign, we wanted to maintain that and take the communication to another level. The campaign – Bhaag Bittoo Bhaag – is special because it talks about the brand promise of ‘quenching thirst’ by using a strong local insight we all can relate to being Indians. In a situation of extreme physical stress and having to run from one place to the other in search for food, the protagonist finds his answer to thirst in Limca. The whole narrative is quirky, humourous and insanely Indian. It is a kind of film you would enjoy watching repeatedly; a great way to achieve a higher level of brand recall amongst the Indian consumers.”

     

    Amit Nandwani

    Amit Nandwani, Executive Creative Director, Leo Burnett India, added, “When faced with situations of extreme heat and tiredness, nothing quenches your thirst like Limca. The new Limca campaign essentially conveys this point while integrating quirks rooted in Indian culture. The plot is not only relatable but also drives home the point in a light-hearted manner.” Limca plans to take its new campaign to consumers through digital and traditional media platforms to intensify the brand experience.

  • The new TVC has been developed to communicate the product concept of Camel Oil Pastel

    RK Swamy unveils new campaign for Camlin

    By A Correspondent

     

    RK Swamy BBDO has unveiled its new TVC for Camlin. Camlin is the leader in colouring products and one such product is the Camel Oil Pastel. This can be used in the same way as crayons but offer a unique product benefit not available with crayons –the ability to mix two colours to get a completely new colour and shades that enables more lifelike drawing. The objective of the commercial is to bring home these benefits.

     

    The TVC shows a group of students in an art class who are amazed to discover that the painting made by one of their classmates is rich and very life like. On enquiring how this was done, their classmate makes use of this opportunity to get them do his project as the price for the answer. Once the deal is struck, he reveals that he has the ‘Mixing ka Magic’ using Camel Oil Pastels that offer the advantage of mixing two colours and creating a third one to make lifelike paintings. In the end, we see that the kids have using the oil pastel to create a drawing, which looked so real that it almost jumps off the page, startling the teacher who had come down to check on the commotion.

     

    Gautam Pandit, Sr. Partner & Executive Creative Director said, “With Camel Oil Pastels, the challenge was to create a compelling film based on very strong differentiator – that of the ability to a create a new colour with two or more different coloured oil pastels thereby making drawings more  lifelike. To communicate this effectively to kids, we coined the phrase ‘mixing ka magic’ and wove it into an engaging storyline which stayed true to the insight that children are overjoyed with the ability to create new things.”

     

    Saumitra Prasad, CMO-Kokuyo Camlin said, “The new TVC  has been developed to communicate the product concept of Camel Oil Pastel that this is a superior crayon which gives children the power to create new Colours by intermixing Colours, and hence create rich and true to life painting. This communication is in synergy with the brand positioning of making learning fun for children.”

  • The little-known desi brand emerges as a leader in the world of shaving creams in India

    Vi-John lathers up on shaving shares

     

    By Rajiv Singh

     

    Dapper, with not a hair out of place, Vimal Pande is perhaps an ideal brand ambassador for a company of which he is also the CEO. For the past decade, he’s been a loyal user of ‘Cobra’ deodorant, ‘Splash’ after-shave, ’22 degree’ talcum powder, even ‘BoroShield’ antiseptic cream, all brands of the little known Delhi-based personal care firm, Vi-John. He’s also one of thousands of consumers who annually consume almost 45 lakh kg of Vi-John’s shaving cream, in the process making it the largest label in this category. It’a also a category that’s conspicuous by the presence of a clutch of multinational brands from Axe (Hindustan Unilever) and Dettol (Reckitt Benckiser) to Old Spice and Gillette (Procter & Gamble).

     

    “In shaving cream, we are much bigger than Gillette in India, both in volume and value,” asserts 52-year-old Pande. And if being ahead of a global leader isn’t enough, he goes on to make another claim. “In fact, we are the largest selling shaving cream brand in the world.”

     

    According to the latest Nielsen MAT data sourced from industry officials, Vi-John’s volume market share in India stood at 29.2 per cent in May, over three times that of Dettol, almost four times that of Axe and over seven times that of Gillette.

     

    “Even if you put the next four brands together, they won’t be able to match our volume and value share in India,” affirms Pande, adding that the biggest plus for the brand has been its ‘affordability’ tag. Vi-John is available across 2.5 lakh retail outlets and at over 1 million other trading channels across the country. The brand makes over 15 lakh shaving cream packs every month, says Pande.

     

    An email sent to HUL and Reckitt Benckiser did not elicit any response.

     

    What the MNCs lose in volume, though, is being partially made up in value. Consider: Gillette’s 3.9 per cent volume gives it a close to double value share of 7 per cent; Axe 7.4 per cent volume converts into 12.9 per cent value share. It’s only in Vi-John’s case that its value share is less than the volume share. Pande grudgingly acknowledges the problem. “We are quite visible on TV. But our profitability is not as high as others.”

     

    Even as Vi-John continues with its aggressive intent to further widen its volume lead over its rivals, the price warrior has started working on a strategy to match its volume growth with value. “While the strategy till now was to scale first and reach a sound scale, now the plan is to convert volume into value. So now we will go in for the kill,” asserts Pande.

     

    The company is making improvements in packaging, quality and more importantly pricing, which would be crucial to push it ahead in the value trajectory. While in 2011, its 125 gram shaving cream pack was available for Rs 20, it now costs Rs 35.

     

    What has worked brilliantly for Vi-John has been the endorsement by Shah Rukh Khan. Celebrity endorsements has played a significant role in brand awareness, helping it make a rapid transition from a business to business brand to a business to consumer brand, explains Abraham Koshy, professor of marketing at IIM Ahmedabad. “Had it not been for the celebrity endorsement, the brand could not have pulled it through.”

     

    However, the most discerning element of the strategy that has worked in the favour of the brand is the choice of target segment. While brands like Gillette are targeted at the higher end of the market, Vi-John has chosen to target the mass segment. “This is an intelligent choice as this market has been waiting for a brand relevant to it,” adds Koshy.

     

    However, converting volume into value at a faster clip won’t be easy. It’s a brand game, which has to be played with finesse, says brand strategist Harish Bijoor. “One celebrity will not turn the tide for it. There are a lot more brand parameters that need to be addressed and tweaked.”

     

    The biggest problem for Vi-John, according to Bijoor, is that it has not invested in branding. “The product has worked, the brand has not. Not yet. What’s missing is brand imagery. And it needs to earn it fast.” Oui, John?

  • Showcases how youth can live their passions and inspire others

    ‘Socho toh karo, karo kuch bhi’, says Dell in new campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Dell has launched a new television commercial that is crafted around its theme for youth in 2015 – Learn. Share. Inspire. Conceptualized and executed by GREY group India, the commercial is a testimony to Dell’s belief that aspiring youth of today can not only express their creativity, but also inspire others by sharing their knowledge and creations with the use of personal technology.

     

    Launched in the background of Dell’s Back to College campaign, the TVC premiered online on Dell’s Youtube homepage on June 27,2015, and will be aired on television on July 10, 2015 across leading general English & Hindi entertainment, sports, and music channels.

     

    College students armed with ambition, and the desire to assert individual identity, are looking to perfectly balance their academic and social lives, and technology gives them the platform to do this. As students step into new college semesters, this year’s ‘Back to College’ campaign sets the tone for youth to be motivated about their personal ambitions. As part of the campaign , Dell showcases its exciting new range of Notebooks from its flagship Inspiron brand, the Inspiron 5000 series, which is designed to play multiple roles in a college students’ life – be it for college assignments, skill and knowledge development, or for connecting with people and entertainment.

     

    Ritu Gupta, Director-Marketing, Consumer & Small Business, Dell India said, “In a recent pan India research[1] surveying the existing and potential PC users in the country, it emerged that the youth is ready to spearhead their respective interests using PC technology. The study revealed that the PC is pivotal to self-learning and gaining knowledge for students who have a hunger to do more. “Karo Kuch Bhi” is a reiteration of this year’s theme for the Back to College campaign – Learn. Share. Inspire – which motivates students to express themselves using the power of technology and thus create and share on multiple online & offline platforms. Through this TVC we are realizing our vision of delivering technology which enables youth to reach beyond basic academic learning and enhance the quality of content, leading to the ‘sharing’ of creative ideas, expression and knowledge.”

     

    The TVC addresses the meaning of the word ‘sharing’ among today’s social media savvy generation. In an environment where people are thirsting for captivating and inspirational content, the objective is to highlight the shift towards how youngsters are following their dreams and are producing innovative and thought provoking ideas and content, even as they inspire their others by sharing their journey. The TVC conveys that by creating something new, one can have a meaningful impact and inspire many others to create something of their own.

     

    Ram Jayaraman, Executive Creative Director, GREY group India, Bangalore, said, “The previous Inspiron Notebook TVC we created for Dell was about all about passionate inward pursuit – following your dreams till they become achievements. This one is more outward. It is about touching others with the force of your conviction. It is about passion snowballing into inspiration. Because when passionate youngsters learn and share ideas and beliefs, they make things happen.”
