  • Anchor Panasonic promotes switches range in latest TVC

    By A Correspondent

     

    Anchor Panasonic takes the ‘Naye India ke badhte load ke liye’ proposition further in their third campaign for their wiring devices (switches) with a quirky take on the selfie-obsessed social media generation. The campaign has been conceptualised and created by Leo Burnett India.

     

    Said Vivek Sharma, Managing Director, Panasonic Life Solutions: “We aim to deliver products that surpass the consumer expectations and fulfil the growing demands of new India. With the new ad campaign, ‘Naye India Ke Badhte Load Ke Liye’, we wanted to highlight how we understand the sentiments and desires of today’s consumers and how we can be a part of their aspirations. We hope to extend our consumer base and tap newer markets with this campaign, thereby increasing market share in the wiring devices (switches) category.”

     

    Speaking about the campaign Vikram Pandey (Spiky), National Creative Director Leo Burnett India says “Since the plot was about a guy desperately wanting to go viral on the internet, we decided to cast a social media influencer famous for his acts on the internet. An interactive integrated campaign will take the premise forward to connect with the audience on all platforms.”

    Name of the campaign/ad: Roma

     

    The brief: To make a point about Roma being the best-selling in the modular switches catgory in an effective manner.

     

    Research: Roma is the largest selling modular switch by a distance and yet, very few people know this.

     

    Key issues: The campaign uses foreigners as tourist guides and makes them speak Hindi, in their own distinctive manner, without tutoring them, and all of this adds to the enjoyment. Not many people know that Roma is from the Anchor Panasonic stable. This ad also seeks to address that.

     

    Media Vehicles: TVC led

     

    Differentiating factor: The TVC uses memorable casting, comic timing and interesting locales, such as the Wat Arun Pagoda, an underwater oceanarium and the lush green forests around Pattaya. There is a huge thrill in watching hi-funda foreigners getting bested by Indians. This is the layer that makes the ads even more fun.

     

    Market / Client feedback: To establish the leadership premise of Roma without being too serious. It’s a bit too early to gauge, but the commercials manage to convey this message effectively.
