  • CaratLane launches new campaign

    CaratLane, omni-channel jewellery brand, has launched a new brand campaign. It aims to empower women by encouraging them to reward every win – big or small, professional or personal.

    Talking about the launch, Jennifer Pandya, VP of Marketing, CaratLane, said: “Enabling our customers to express themselves is our brand’s purpose. While most women are quick to appreciate their loved ones and their achievements, they are hesitant to acknowledge their own wins, whether personal or professional. According to a study* we did with Quantum only 3 out of 10 women celebrate their wins. As a brand that champions expressions, we wanted to urge women to stop undermining their wins. Rather we want them to acknowledge and reward themselves for these wins. We see this as a cultural movement rather than a campaign.”

    Conceptualised and conceived by BBH India, Parikshit Bhattaccharya, Chief Creative Officer of BBH India, added: “Research has confirmed some disheartening facts. Women discount their own effort; they don’t acknowledge their own achievements, and they don’t celebrate their own wins enough. CaratLane is a trailblazing brand in the way it conducts its business and in what it enables through its many innovations. It is only fitting that it is the first jewellery brand to inspire women to celebrate their victories through Wear Your Wins. The initiative comprises a film, social interventions, and many more executions to inspire women to adorn their wins with jewellery – like dazzling tattoos as reminders of wins that are important to them.”

It’s about embracing the beauty of everyday magic in relationships.”

     

    Added Jennifer Pandya, VP Marketing of CaratLane: “We believe that every day is an opportunity to celebrate love, and a Mangalsutra is the perfect symbol. A modern woman chooses to wear a mangalsutra as a marker of all the little things her husband does to make her feel special, whether it’s making chai in the morning or being her support system. We’ve created a range of gorgeous lightweight diamond Mangalsutra in chains, bracelets, and rings to fit seamlessly into her lifestyle and add a touch of elegance to her every day.”
