However, with Bajaj Almond Drops hair oil they don’t need to worry about chip-chip and greasy hair. Bajaj Almond Drops hair oil gives their hair the nourishment it needs without the heavy feeling on the head. Our ‘Load Mat Lo’ campaign strives to provide a solution to the unnecessary worrying in the context of hair oiling.”

  • Conceptualised and executed by Mullen Lintas Mumbai, the film traverses the journey of one such woman who decides to test her husband's attention by attempting changes to herself

    Bajaj Nomarks unveils brand campaign encouraging women to be self-reliant

    By A Correspondent

     

    Bajaj Nomarks has unveiled its latest brand campaign that highlights the many advantages of the skincare cream. The campaign, led primarily by a video film, touches upon the core point of the cream being a companion to women who often face multiple skin complaints, especially on the face.

     

    Conceptualised and executed by Mullen Lintas Mumbai, the film traverses the journey of one such woman who decides to test her husband’s attention by attempting changes to herself.

     

    Commenting on the core message that the brand seeks to make through this film, AmeyaDangi, Head of Marketing, Bajaj Corp said: “Bajaj Nomarks cream is completely Ayurvedic in composition and has been clinically tested for its efficacy quotient which makes it a unique product in the anti-marks category. Through this new campaign which is the first of a new idea developed by our agency Mullen Lintas, we want to encourage people not to be bothered by small things like skin marks but to focus on realising their bigger ambitions irrespective of what others may think of them.”

     

    The film has been developed based on the insight that in today’s day and age, wives have a common complaint – husbands are so engrossed in doing their own thing that they fail to notice some obvious changes, especially about them. For example the husband will not notice any change in the appearance of the wife or for that matter even miss the new dress that she is wearing and so on and so forth. It was this insight that gave birth to the campaign idea of “Men Don’t Notice.”

     

    Highlighting the core idea behind the film, Ayyappan Raj, EVP – Mullen Lintas said: “The mark removal skincare category is seeing a visible growth in the number of players and it is imperative that each one differentiate their offering from the others. With Bajaj Nomarks, the plus point is its reliance on herbal remedies along with the guarantee of delivering visible results in the quickest possible time. We used this as the core point in the film and brought to life a real situation that women often face at home. The film delivers on the promise of being a reliable companion to women when they need them the most.”

     

    Explaining the creative thought-process behind the campaign, ShriramIyer, NCD – Mullen Lintas said, “In advertising we are used to seeing big changes to lives post usage of a product. With Nomarks, we are promising that big change to your skin, and nothing else. Change your skin for yourself, even if it changes nothing else, is the message we want to give out with this ad.”

     

    The film has been launched offline on all popular channels and will also be rolled out extensively across Print and Outdoor. The film is being launched online as well and will play on major social channels to draw maximum mileage.

     

  • Titled "Load Mat Lo", the campaign features leading Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra as the main protagonist

    Get rid of the load on your head, emphasizes Bajaj Almond Drops in latest campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    In today’s fast paced world, people have the tendency of taking a lot of unnecessary load in their lives. These range from mundane worries like travelling woes, what to wear when going out, need to be visible on social platforms, etc. to the more worrisome ones like extreme stress at work, health & financial woes etc. All these worries do take a toll on individuals who are often left wanting for a way out.

     

    This insight was the inspiration for Mullen Lintas Mumbai’s new campaign on Bajaj Almond Drops Hair Oil. Titled “Load Mat Lo”, the campaign features leading Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra as the main protagonist.

     

    Commenting on the thought process behind this campaign, Ameya Dangi, Head of Marketing – Bajaj Corp said: “People don’t like oiling their hair regularly because they find some oils to be extremely sticky, chip-chipa and heavy, a feeling which they dislike. It is like a “load” on their head and they have to put up with it for the sake of nourishment just like they put up with a host of unnecessary worries without a really good reason. But with light & non-sticky Bajaj Almond Drops hair oil, they can give their hair the nourishment it needs without having to put up with the heaviness on their head. For us, this new campaign idea “Load Mat Lo” brilliantly works on this very relatable insight of “unnecessary worrying” in the context of hair oiling and Bajaj Almond Drops.”

     

    The film titled ‘Load Mat Lo’ begins with the protagonist, in this case brand ambassador Parineeti Chopra, being told by her partner about the hair oil that he has shopped for her. On seeing the bottle, she immediately cautions him that she doesn’t prefer taking the load of coconut oil on her hair. To elucidate her point, she conducts a small experiment on his head by placing a paper-weight on his head and comparing it to a feeling that one gets by applying coconut oil in one’s hair. But with Bajaj Almond Drops, the feeling is just the opposite as it makes one feel light and easy. All this with the brand being fortified 300 per cent more with Vitamin E.

     

    Highlighting the strategic insight behind the film, Ayyappan Raj, EVP-Mullen Lintas said, “The consumer of today is always on the lookout for innovation on a product or brand they endorse. With the hair oil category flooded with multiple players, it was imperative that we play up features of Bajaj Almond Drops that stand out. Thankfully, there were more than a couple of features that worked in its favour including it being the lightest in its category and further fortified with 300 per cent vitamin E. This led us to zero down on the idea of ‘load free’, as that is was what most people too want from their lives. All these traits have been captured really well in the film.”

     

    Explaining the creative execution behind the film, Shriram Iyer, NCD-Mullen Lintas said, “While most hair oil brands tend to play up the usual advantages that can be derived by using them, we chose to highlight one of the biggest differentiator for Bajaj Almond Drops – it being the lightest in its category. This core point has been bought out well in the film where one can really feel the difference in applying an oil that is easy on the hair vis-à-vis the others that tend to make it heavy & sticky. We are sure the concept will get consumers to choose Bajaj Almond Drops hair oil when they go to shop for oil the next time around.”
