    Mobis India, manufacturer of automotive parts, accessories and mobility solutions for Hyundai Motors in India, has launched a ten-day long all-encompassing Digital campaign – “Safety Har Baar, Bharosa Baar Baar” on Anti-Counterfeit Day to promote the use of genuine parts. This initiative is a clarion call to stop the use of non-genuine products, which pose a huge threat to safety of customers as well as the genuine auto players in the market. The Digital campaign is active from June 1st-10th, 2022.

     

    Said Yong Goon Park, Managing Director, Mobis India – AS Parts Division:  “With rapid technological advancements in the automobile industry, it is a sad reality that manufacturing and marketing of non-genuine auto products is at an all-time high. What’s more perturbing is that despite strict measures, the situation remains grim leaving all auto companies incurring a huge loss of revenue. Most importantly, it imposes a huge threat on the safety of the passengers. It is even dangerous to gauge the impact of using non-genuine products as these never comply with the stringent criteria of standard genuine manufacturing processes and hampers the brand credibility drastically.”

  • Ranveer Singh promotes Astral Pipes in new campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    Astral Pipes has launched a brand campaign with actor Ranveer Singh. It builds on a new catchphrase in Sindhi “Dadho Sutho” (very good). The campaign has been conceptualised by The Womb Communications.

     

    Said Kairav Engineer, VP – Business Development Astral Limited: “Our objective is to increase consumer involvement and preference for good quality pipes while the purchase decision is made. The average cost of residential plumbing is roughly about 2% of the overall cost of building a house. So the probable saving here could be minuscule against which the risk is so huge of jeopardizing entire house. We intend to educate consumers to invest in good quality pipes while spending to make their dream home.”

     

    Added Heval Patel, Head of Account Management, The Womb: “In a commoditized, low-involvement category, we were clear that we had to create a preference for Astral Pipes. In our numerous conversations with homeowners and influencers (plumbers/contractors) we understood that while people meticulously plan every aspect of their homes like interior decors, tiles, furniture, etc. to match lifestyle and status, they inadvertently end up using compromised pipes. As a leading and trusted pipe brand in India, we had to highlight the ill-effects of doing so and eventually make Astral synonymous with a very good quality pipe for the homeowners and the influencers and hence the use of the phrase “Astral Dadho Sutho”.
