  • 82.5 launches new solar campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    Luminous Power Technologies has launched a new TVC featuring brand ambassador Sachin Tendulkar. It is developed and conceptualised by 82.5 Communications.

     

    Introducing the new TVC campaign, Ruchika Gupta, CMO, Luminous Power Technologies, said: “We are 100% devoted to providing consumer centricity to all we do at Luminous. When it comes to solar, our extensive consumer research revealed that there is a great deal of ambiguity surrounding various areas of the buying decision-making process, which is enough to put off a lot of buyers.

     

    As a result, we created the “Solar Hai Lagana toh Luminous ko Bulaana” campaign to showcase the brand as a one-stop shop for all solar-related queries. This ad aims to combine consumer insight and storytelling, and I hope that you all resonate with it.”

     

    Talking about the concept, Sumanto Chattopadhyay, Chairman & Chief Creative Officer, 82.5 Communications India added: “Sachin is the evergreen brand ambassador for Luminous, complementing the inherent credibility of the brand. And who better to partner him than Mr Sun in convincing the consumer that Luminous is the right way to go solar.”

    By Our Staff

     

    Actor, Producer, and Web3 innovator Mila Kunis and superhero creator Sharad Devarajan announced the launch of Armored Kingdom Media Inc., a new multi-platform, global entertainment universe spanning a Web3 trading card game, digital comics, animation and film. To commemorate the launch, a limited-edition Issue #0 comic book NFT will be available for free, for seven days at ArmoredKingdom.com.

    Said Kunis: “I lost a good part of my youth to gaming, from World of WarCraft to Settlers of Catan. The moment I dove into Web3, I saw the opportunity to create an immersive universe where blockchain technology deepens the gaming experience and makes it more personal and immersive for every fan. Armored Kingdom will allow gamers to relate to their characters and gear in a revolutionary way, and we can’t wait to share more of that with you very soon.”

At Graphic India, our mission is to partner with the greatest creators and technologies in the world to innovate the future of storytelling across Web3 and the metaverse. Mila Kunis has been an early pioneer and leader in this space and it’s an incredible honor to collaborate with her. Armored Kingdom will push Web3 technology further than ever before, so we’ve turned to NEAR to help us make it a reality. Their expertise with community management, championing of the creative sector, and its carbon-neutral-user-friendly development platform won us over.”

     

    Founded with Lindsey McInerney and Lisa Sterbakov, Armored Kingdom is built on NEAR – a carbon-neutral, community-driven blockchain.

     

  • Youva from Navneet set to welcome back students

    By Our Staff

     

    Youva, the stationery brand from Navneet Education, has geared up to welcome students with a new stationery range supported by a Back to School campaign.

     

    Launching the campaign, Abhijit Sanyal, Chief Strategy Officer and spokesperson of Youva, said: “With students coming back to school, we thought about celebrating this event by launching a brand new campaign, “Happy hoke chale school hum”. We have created an exciting film with our digital agency ‘ants digital’ that expresses the joy of children returning to school. The all-new product range and the new BTS campaign will help students to re-connect with classrooms and return to normalcy. There are challenges that we are facing as far as paper cost goes and we have taken every effort to minimize passing on the burden to our customers. But witnessing this sight of kids going back to school has created a huge sense of excitement for all of us.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the brand film, “Happy hoke chale school hum”, Sanjay Arora, CEO of Ants Digital added: “This is one of our best films that has come alive. The whole film is a narrative of all mothers who are seeing the journey of their children in these last two years and the new excitement that is experienced by kids while preparing to go back to school. We had great fun creating this film and we are sure all the kids and their parents will love this.”

     

    The lockdowns and restrictions have hampered the children’s learning process and academic life for the past two years. Several important activities like physically coming to the classroom, interacting with the teacher, exercising and playing at the playground with fellow students were not experienced by them during this period.

     

    As a student brand, Youva has revamped its stationery range like Notebooks, Drawing books, Paint brushes, Crayons, Poster colours, Practical books, Geometry boxes and various such products with new designs and vibrant looks to welcome the children back to school. Stationery is most shared when students are together (apart from the lunch boxes though) and they do the most unimaginable things with it. More importantly stationery creates bonding between students when at school. The new Youva campaign is an apt metaphor for this insight.
