    Orient Electric highlights effects of invisible LED flicker

    By A Correspondent

     

    Orient Electric has unveiled an integrated marketing campaign to raise awareness about what it calls harmful effects of invisible flicker present in LED lights and to introduce its new range of EyeLuv LED lights with Flicker-Control Technology.

     

    Said Anshuman Chakravarty, Head Brand & Corporate Communication, Orient Electric: “Our focus has always been on using technology led innovation to offer products and solutions that meet the needs and expectations of new age consumers. While lighting experts and manufacturers were aware about the harmful effects of invisible flicker in LED lights but its awareness amongst consumers was low. The Flicker Control Technology in our new EyeLuv LED range controls the harmful invisible LED flicker thus making it safer and better for overall eye health. From creating awareness around the problem to finally introducing them to the solution i.e. Orient EyeLuv LEDs, we have addressed every aspect in our new TVC. We are hopeful that this campaign will act as an eye opener for the consumers and will encourage them to check the invisible flicker in the LED lights installed in their surroundings.”

     

    Added Sagar Mahabaleshwar, CCO, Contract India: “The first thing we decided was not to see it as a typical home solution product, which is usually told through a nice life insight and an emotional benefit kind of story. We chose a serious tone because of the nature of the problem. And looked, not at the buying TG but the one on whom it would have the most impact – the child in every home, who studies long hours every night”

     

    In addition to Hindi, the TVC will also be released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telegu, Marathi, Bengali and Punjabi.

    Orient Electric has announced the launch of its new campaign featuring the long-standing ambassador MS Dhoni to introduce its new Aerostorm ceiling fan.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Anshuman Chakravarty, Head Brand & Corporate Communication, Orient Electric said: “Aerostorm, the second fan in our Aeroseries range after Aeroquiet, is a very novel and innovative concept for the fans industry. This fan is inspired from aerofoil design of Aircraft wings and is reinforced with winglet technology which further helps in sound reduction and giving an astounding air delivery of 300 CMM. We have tried to depict the same in the newly launched TVC by making it edgy, arty, and visually appealing. Orient Electric has delivered many stimulating campaigns in the past but the depiction of this one on screen is nothing less than a treat for the eyes. I am sure that our new TV ad will capture the audiences’ attention and create a lot of excitement about the entire range of Aeroseries fans.”

     

    Added Mayur Hola, Executive Creative Director & Executive Vice President, Contract Advertising: “For this spot in particular, we let everything affected by the new Aerostorm sing, but for the fan. With the strong air delivery of Aerostorm fan, every little or big thing flutters or moves thus creating its own music and we have tried to capture the same by creating the ‘Song of Silence’. It’s a song in praise of a great product. Creating something like this wasn’t easy but we’re happy that we have an end product that looks good and sounds pleasing.”

    The ads are all over television. In fact just just too many times for our liking in a one-hour duration on India Today channel on Thursday evening. But then when you’ve got longstanding brand ambassador MS Dhoni on board, may as well milk the opportunity.

     

    Orient Electric, part of the CK Birla group, has launched an integrated advertising campaign with Dhoni for its range of LED Battens. The campaign features a TV ad that shows Dhoni being playfully picked on by his niece for not putting an end to the misery of flickering tubelight and upgrading to Orient LED Batten which comes with ‘No Choke, No Starter and No Flicker’, and ensures better lighting with significant cost savings.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the integrated campaign, Anshuman Chakravarty, Head Brand & Corporate Communication, Orient Electric said: “It all started with our quest to find what’s next after LED Bulbs. The second biggest consumer lighting product even today is the conventional tube light with its choke, starter and its impending problem of flickering, which we all have faced in our lives. We realised that our communication around LED Batten ‘No Choke, No Starter and No Flicker’, could be a potential game changer.

     

    Added Mayur Hola, Executive Creative Director, Contract Advertising, Delhi: “This one lit a bulb straight away. The brief was crystal, we knew the exact bone of contention (a flickering tube light) that needed to be played up. And we went straight for it, MSD in tow. This is also the inception of the entire LED Batten category, no brand has set foot there yet in terms of communication. It’s a big opportunity that Orient and Contract spotted in time and I’m sure it will do the job in taking the lead here.”
