Polycab’s latest campaign captures true joy as experienced by infants

By A Correspondent

To launch the Polycab range of ceiling, pedestal, wall and exhaust fans, RK Swamy BBDO has unveiled its latest campaign keeping in mind the extreme parity in the Fan category.

The film depicts the simple joy of babies when they see the impact of the breeze from Polycab Fans in different households. It leaves them chuckling which is heart-warming, making for the line “Hawa jo dil ko chuu le”. The TVC ends with the brand promise ‘Connection Zindagi Ka’.

Shashank Pore, the Chief Marketing Officer, Polycab says “Today, the fans category is cluttered with over eight players fighting in a mature fans category with very little technological change. About four of those players are more than five decades old. Polycab being a new entrant. Last year Polycab had set forth on a new path in its communication journey with launch of the mother brand campaign and promise. Later it was followed with a product led wires tvc. Beginning this year, we launched a new communication in the fans category. The space today is filled fan TVCs having quirky humour, loaded social messages or expertise platform etc.”

“We wanted to go back to those simple, light hearted moments of joy generated when we just switch on a fan like Polycab, in the sweltering and tiring heat of summer.  We also need the payoff to be consistent with our mother brand promise of Connection Zindagi Ka and it does a good job of aligning along with lending newness to the Polycab Fans brand.”

Sangeetha N of RK Swamy commented: “A fan is a parity product. So execution would be strategy. We needed something that would make an instant connection and also stand the test of time.   Thus we depicted babies thoroughly enjoying the simple joys of a good breeze. The nice breeze sets off some action around like a paper wind mill rotating, newspaper flying or a mobile swinging all of which results in chuckling, happy babies who touch the heart with their open enjoyment. And what sets off the lovely breeze – Polycab Fans of course. This  gentle, soft approach ensures that nobody will be tired of seeing the commercial again and again, thus helping build brand equity.”
