Today, cashless, paperless finance is gaining acceptance across India, and it is time to revisit our marketing strategy. It is the time we look beyond the online space exclusively, and reach out to more people than ever through mass media as well.

    By A Correspondent

     

    BankBazaar.com has unveiled a video film as part of their unique digital campaign for the wedding season, #PlayYourPart. The objective of the campaign is to compel the youth to rethink their financial dependency on their parents for their wedding. With this #PlayYourPart campaign, the company aims to disrupt the traditional mentality when it comes to financing weddings.

     

    While describing the concept, Prince Thomas – Head Brand Marketing at BankBazaar.com said: “The independent, earning youth of today is already depending on the online media for their financial essentials in every sphere from shopping to paying utility bills – be it in the form of internet banking, wallets, or credit and debit cards. With the #PlayYourPart campaign, we wanted to reach out to them to convey that finance is not just for the day-to-day essentials but also the once-in-a-lifetime experience, such as their own wedding.”

     

    Speaking about the digital campaign, Adhil Shetty, CEO & Co-founder BankBazaar.com, said: “Wedding seasons are a busy time with a lot of traction from customers across the country looking for financial products across categories. So this was the right time for a campaign that underscored the emotions of the season and made the viewers connect with an idea that is empowering and disruptive at the same time – that of funding at least part of your wedding yourself. We believe this campaign will help us build a connect with the right audience at the right time in the right manner.”

     

    The new digital advertising campaign will be promoted across various digital platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

As part of the scope of engagement, Enormous will work towards further strengthening Bankbazaar.com’s brand positioning as an online financial marketplace offering end-to-end financial services catering to the country’s growing tech-savvy customers. The account will be serviced from Enormous’ Mumbai office.

     

    Established in 2008, BankBazaar.com has been a pioneer and a one-stop provider of hassle-free solutions for all personal finance products including insurance policies, bank loans and credit cards.

     

    Commenting on the development, Adhil Shetty, CEO of BankBazaar.com, said, “The e-commerce segment of the country has successfully spearheaded interesting communication campaigns to enable it as a high involvement sector. On the other hand, financial services, being an important aspect of our lives, remains a low involvement category due to complexities in information dissemination.
