  • Mamaearth launches campaign for Durga Puja

    By Our Staff

     

    Mamaearth, the flagship brand of Honasa Consumer Limited, has launched a campaign that pays homage to Durga and her various forms, while celebrating the “multifaceted spirit of womanhood with its range of makeup offerings”.

     

    Said Anuja Mishra, Chief Marketing Officer, Honasa Consumer Limited: “In the spirit of Durga Puja and the celebration of womanhood, Mamaearth’s new campaign is a heartfelt tribute to both Durga Maa and women everywhere. We’ve taken an innovative path by collaborating with artists who have beautifully reimagined Maa Durga’s avatars using the vibrant colors from Mamaearth’s makeup range. This initiative is our way of embracing and celebrating the diverse facets of womanhood. Just like the nine divine avatars of ‘Nobodurga,’ every woman embodies strength, devotion, knowledge, fierceness, empathy, fearlessness, wisdom, and success. Through this film, we pay homage to the eternal muse of Durga Maa and the inspiring women who carry her spirit within them.”

     

    Added Anupama Ramaswamy, Chief Creative Officer, Havas Creative: “As Pujo season approaches, the vibrant spirit of Durga Ma showcases the artistic creations of numerous talents. It’s a time when women of all generations grace the pandals in their finest attire, radiating confidence and charisma. Naturally, when we envisioned a Durga Puja campaign for Mamaearth, their Makeup Range seemed like the perfect match. We needed something disruptive and that’s how we thought of bringing 4 artists on board to do what they do best. Bring the 9 forms of Durga on their canvases. Everything remains the same. The only twist — there are no paints used at all, only Mamaearth lipsticks, kajals and foundations. The campaign draws parallels between how artists use Paints as Shringar to bring out the avatars of Durga and how women use Makeup as Shringar to bring out their own avatars. In doing so, we celebrate what Durga Ma truly represents — the multifacetedness of being a woman.” The 54 sec film is conceptualized by Havas Media worldwide.”
