  • Byju’s celebrates the joy of children learning on their own in latest ad campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Education platform Byju’s latest ad campaign celebrates the fact that if children love learning, they will learn on their own. Breaking the myths around smartphones being used just for entertainment purposes by children only – this campaign tells the story of how these devices can become an integral part of a student’s learning journey today. Offering rich content, interactives and videos, technology-enabled education has made learning fun, effective and engaging like never before.

    Conceptualised and created by Lowe Lintas and the Byju’s media team– this campaign has been built on the central thought of the 2016 campaign – ‘Come fall in love with learning’. The campaign reinstates the simple fact that if children love learning, learning any concept becomes more fun and easy. In fact, it is important for students to become lifelong learners.

    Showcasing everyday scenes between parents and children, this campaign emphasises that parents need not worry when their children are learning from Byju’s on their smartphones. It also shows how children are becoming conscious of their academic responsibilities and catching up on their school lessons using Byju’s Learning App, without adult supervision.

    Said Mrinal Mohit, COO, Byju’s: “At Byju;s, creating quality and seamless learning experiences for students has been our key focus area. Parents often think that children use smartphone for entertainment only. This campaign has been crafted to help parents understand the importance of learning through smart devices and how the concept of using smartphone as a learning device is becoming widely popular. In fact, the TV commercial depicts real-life scenarios that students learning from smart devices would have gone through at some point or the other. We are confident that this new campaign will help us instill trust in the fact that better learning experiences enable students become self-learners and learn for the love of learning, rather than the fear of exams.”

    Added Arun Iyer, Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas: “Continuing with our central thought of ‘Come fall in love in with learning’ we probed further into parent and child relationships when it comes to studies. While the first campaign attempted to break the myth that kids don’t like to study, this time we brought in the angle of parents prying into what their kids do on smartphone. Built on the stereotype that children are more technology savvy than their parents and the fact that parents often think that their children only engage in trivialities on smart phones – we brought out the truth that children start enjoying studies, especially when it meets with their technology acumen. Hence, showing the role of Byju’s in a student’s life and learning process.

  • Future Consumer unveils brand campaign in India

    By A Correspondent

     

    Future Consumer Limited (FCL) is a forward-looking company dedicated to making products for the new generation of restless aspirers that constantly seeks something new. The company has created a whole new language of fusion product innovations, which will soon cater to anything and everything the Indian kitchen needs but doesn’t know yet.

     

    It has unveiled a new campaign that is based on a simple truth about Indians. That they are a unique tribe of foodies, with the most experimental palates. They have an adventurous way of appreciating a completely new taste by truly making it their own. Only in India do we have the gumption, the ability or the bravado to take what the world is consuming and give it an interesting twist. Even the regular Indian fare is in a state of constant evolution and something new is always cooking in our kitchens. This campaign is an ode to the great Indian culinary adventure, taking place every day across the country.

     

    Said Rahul Kansal from Future Consumer: “It was a pleasure working with Taproot on this campaign, as always. We gave them a simple brief: we at FCL are here to feed the great Indian foodie. They found a really graphic way to express this message, through the audio mnemonic of tongue-clicking (a uniquely Indian way of expressing the pleasure of great-tasting food). The metaphor of hybrid tastes that the film is based on, also brings alive the idea of our new-found spirit of experimentation, evocatively.”

     

    Added Agnello Dias, Co-founder, Taproot Dentsu: “It was an interesting brief for an interesting brand and the simple insight that when it comes to food, we in India neither accept nor reject any new flavour outright – we tweak it to make it our own. Signed off, of course, by the great Indian ‘palate smack’, a satiating expression that is uniquely Indian.”

     

  • Fortune Mustard Oil introduces latest brand campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Fortune KachiGhani Mustard Oil has launched its new campaign this month.  With the elections just around the corner, the film is centred on a topical issue – the funding for a political party. The premise is that ‘milavati’ or adulteration in oil can be bad for health just like corruption in a party.

     

    The film opens with a group of party members having lunch. While a member is suggesting accepting funds without caring about election agenda, the party leader makes it clear that she doesn’t support corruption. She does this by using her food cooked in Fortune KachiGhani Mustard Oil, a 100 per cent pure mustard oil, as an analogy to drive her point across. She also adds that funding should also be devoid of any ‘milavat’ with the party’s agenda.

     

    Conceived and executed by Ogilvy & Mather, this film hopes to ensure that consumers realise the issue of adulteration in mustard oils and think twice before buying their mustard oil.

    After a series of ad campaigns, this new campaign from Tata Global Beverages highlights the product’s USP of being a super green tea in a creative manner. The film truly brings alive the positioning of Tetley Super Green as the superhero of green teas. It was backed by the insight that even real, everyday people, are constantly faced with super human expectations, and need a little extra from the products they consume to live up to them.

     

    The ad opens with a woman asking Ganguly’s wife why she needed Tetley Super Green. To which she replies that people still treat her husband like the ‘Prince of Kolkata’, while the camera pans to Sourav Ganguly. The film then continues to display a series of situations where Ganguly is still expected to ‘be the person he once was’. The film ends with Ganguly sipping Tetley Super Green while the voiceover reiterates that a person with super human expectations requires a super green tea.

     

    Speaking about his association with Tetley Super Green, Sourav Ganguly, Brand Ambassador – Tetley says, “I feel extremely honored to be associated with an international brand like Tetley that works tirelessly to give their consumers the best products possible.  Tetley Super Green tea, as the brand name suggests, truly believes that ordinary people are capable of doing super things. Tetley Super Green Boost and Immune contain Vitamin B6 and Vitamin C, whichenhance the functionality of green tea to help us deliver on Superhuman expectations every day. “

     

    Remarking on the campaign, Rishi Chadha, Head – Tea Marketing, Tata Global Beverages says, “At Tata Global Beverages, we are driven by consumer centricity and constant innovation, to cater to the evolving needs of our consumers. Our constant endeavour is to leverage our strong global expertise and learnings to introduce differentiated and value-added offerings to delight our consumers. We pioneered the green tea wave in India and are now introducing a first-of-its-kind vitamin enhanced super green tea as the latest addition to our green tea portfolio. We believe that Tetley Super Green tea is a compelling reason for new consumers to come into the green tea category.  Our new brand film explains this beautifully in a light-hearted and relatable manner. Sourav Ganguly has done a fantastic job of capturing the essence of ‘Everyday Super Humans’ and we are very excited to have him as the new face of Tetley in India.”

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Shriram Iyer, National Creative Director, Mullen Lintas says, “Super Green as a product is about upping health benefits of Green Tea. To bring this alive, the planning and account team on the brand in Bangalore arrived at the insight that sports celebs are faced with a unique challenge. People always expect from them the same superhuman feat that they once performed on the field, no matter what life stage they are in now. This ‘superhuman expectation’ became our creative plank to deliver the message. The script crafted by Santosh Ramakrishnan and directed by Abhinav Pratiman lands the idea gracefully. Sourav Ganguly hits it out of the park. Personally, I think this is Sourav Ganguly’s best onscreen performance, off the field!”

     

  • HDFC Life’s new campaign highlights what’s best for the family

    By A Correspondent

     

    HDFC Life has unveiled yet another impactfulmulti-media brand campaign. With ‘Apnokoapnedumpejeenasikhao’ as the proposition for the campaign, the film reinforces the importance of self-reliance along with financial independence.

     

    Over the years, the role of the earning family member has changed immensely; it has transcended the traditional values of just being the person who takes care of household finances. Today’s men also work towards shaping their family’s values, enabling their families to live a life of pride.

     

    Through a moving story of a girl’s journey from being an over protected daughter to a confident woman thanks to her husband who taught her the values of independence and self-reliance, HDFC Life once again reinforces its brand belief–SarUthaKeJiyo!

     

    Leo Burnett India has conceptualised and created the newest campaign for the brand.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Senior Executive Vice President & Head – Marketing, Analytics, Digital & E-Commerce, Sanjay Tripathy said:“Over the years, the category has side stepped the real reason for buying insurance. Through this hard-hitting campaign, we wanted to go back to the basics of why insurance is purchased in the first place; to protect your loved ones and their dreams from untoward uncertainties. HDFC Life has always stood for ‘SarUthaKeJiyo’ – living an independent life of pride. Focusing on the evolution of a woman and her journey to self-reliance the new brand campaign will further the ‘pride’ proposition which is widely recalled and resonates with our audience”.

     

    Adding more perspective on the campaign, Rajdeepak Das, Chief Creative Officer, Leo Burnett, South Asia said, “It’s a story of a young woman’s journey from a dependent daughter to an independent woman. She is able to transform because of her husband’s belief in her. The story has been told from the father’s point of view, and I believe the campaign makes the impact we aimed to make.”

     

    Apart from TV, the film will have legs on DTH, Cinemas, OOH, Digital, Social media and on-ground.

  • Cigna TTK’s says ‘YES’ to heath to their consumers in its new brandcampaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Cigna TTK Health Insurance, a joint venture between U.S. based global health service leader, Cigna Corporation (NYSE:CI) and Indian conglomerate TTK Group, unveiled the # say ‘YES’  to health campaign.

     

    Improving the health, well-being and sense of security of the people we serve is an imperative at Cigna TTK Health Insurance. This is the underlying philosophy of everything we do. Right from the design of the products to the way we deliver them. A deep dive into the consumer mindsets showed that when a consumer is planning to buy health insurance, there are many questions and apprehensions in their minds on the benefits of health insurance – leaving consumers with a feeling that when the moment of truth arrives they may not benefit. Cigna TTK’s brand strategy has been to partner their consumer in illness and in wellness. In this campaign the brand partners the consumers in the decision making process and builds a relationship that drives brand preference.

     

    Speaking on launch of the new campaign, Sapna Desai, Head, Marketing and Communications, Cigna TTK Health Insurance said, “Our new  # say ‘YES’ to health campaign is designed to infuse positivity and affirmation for the set of consumers who are aware of health insurance, and are considering buying but are unable to make the final decision. It is within this context that Cigna TTK has chosen to # say ‘YES’ to health – reassuring customers that at Cigna TTK their health and well-being will always come first. The campaign leverages the product and service truths to differentiate and provide exclusive value to our customers based on their diverse needs.”

     

    Adds Suraja Kishore, National Planning Head McCann, “In a country that’s witnessing a rise in health consciousness, subscribing to health insurance should be an obvious idea, but it’s clearly not the case. Consumer immersions we undertook revealed to us the reason for this gap. Consumer dissonance and confusion arising from hidden clauses in fine italics, and conditions-apply-asterixkeep consumers away from buying into the category.”

     

    Cigna TTK # say ‘YES’ to health campaign is insightfully designed to assure and reinforce our promise of being a true partner in illness and wellness. The guiding philosophy is built around finding favorable product & service solutions at all times for example ensuring coverage worldwide in times of a medical emergencies, lowering premiums as a reward for staying healthy, restoring your sum insured to the full extent if it gets exhausted due to any other medical condition etc.”

     

    The approach of this campaign is to keep the communication simple and endearing. The campaign will focus on print as the lead medium, with the support of radio & digital. Social media will be deployed both for awareness and engagement, as an always-on approach.

     

    Give below is the link to the making of the # say ‘YES’ to health campaign with bytes from Sandeep Patel, CEO and MD, Cigna TTK Health Insurance and Sapna Desai, Head, Marketing and Communications, Cigna TTK Health Insurance.
