Happydent has partnered with Smile Foundation to launch #HappydentSparklingSmile, a digital campaign under which brand is urging consumers to capture candid smiles to help support the education of underprivileged children.
For this campaign, the brand has partnered with the Indian photographers Abhinav Chandel, Praveen Bhat, Shramona Poddar and Zaid Salman, to capture candid sparkling smiles around them. Alongside, the brand is urging its consumers to share the candid moments on brand’s social handles through a simple process detailed out in the campaign video.
Elaborating on this campaign and partnership, Rohit Kapoor, Director Marketing, Perfetti Van Melle India said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Smile Foundation for this noble cause. As a responsible corporate, Perfetti Van Melle believes in giving back to the communities where we operate and we aim to make a difference to the lives of these wonderful children by providing them better access to education. The cause coheres with Happydent’s brand proposition of adding ‘sparkling smiles’ to people’s lives. #HappydentSparklingSmile is a simple initiative at heart to ensure we are able to light up the lives of some underprivileged kids.”
Added Santanu Mishra, Co-Founder and Trustee, Smile Foundation: “We are quite excited to partner with Happydent on this campaign. The idea behind this partnership is to see more and more children enrolled in schools. Despite, us having a law that makes education a fundamental right of every child between the ages of 6 and 14, the harsh reality is that at least 32 million Indian children of age up to 13 years have never attended any school, majority of them belonging to the socially disadvantaged class. As socially responsible organizations, we will together work to bring back smiles to these children.”
Voot has achieved a key milestone reporting about 100 million monthly active users, according to a communique issued on Tuesday. Said Akash Banerji, Business Head – VOOT, Advertising Video Platform (AVoD): “Achieving 100 mn MAUs in just three years is not a mean feat. We have been able to achieve this new viewership benchmark through our focus on driving constant engagement and reach through impact partnerships, product and tech innovations and versatile content strategy. Our constant pursuit of building a digital business using a user first strategy and basing all decisions that drives higher engagement is the only reason that has made us achieve a quality 100 mn user base leading to 2x increase in monetisation.”
According to the DAN Digital Advertising Reports, spends on digital advertising in India is increasing by 100%+ every three years and is poised to cross the 50,000 crore milestone before 2025. It was only in the second half of the last decade, the Indian advertising industry crossed the milestone of 50,000 crores, so it seems strange that the newest and youngest competitor for the share of the advertising pie will be crossing that same milestone by middle of this decade! We have already witnessed the first giant leap from 2016 to 2019 and it seems quite possible that in three more giant leaps digital advertising will achieve this fantastic growth.
