Plywood brand CenturyPly has embarked on a marketing campaign where it has partnered the Scam 1992, the OTT show on SonyLIv that had received rave reviews.
Now we all know the various shades of grey that one associates with Harsha Mehta, but CenturyPly has tied up with the show and brought in the Pratik Gandhi who plays Harshad Mehta in the show to hardsell the product.
CenturyPly and its advertising agency, Wunderman Thompson, also onboarded Scam 1992 director Hansal Mehta for the film.
Commenting on the campaign, Keshav Bhajanka, Executive Director, CenturyPly, said: “It’s very easy to get conned when buying plywood. A customer has a hard time, having to weigh the pros & cons of various brands of plywood in order to arrive at the right choice. CenturyPly has always kept the customer front & centre in everything that it does. In line with its corporate philosophy, this new advertisement for Club Prime is intended to give peace of mind to customers, helping them make the best ‘investment’.”
Speaking on the film, Arjun Mukherjee, VP & Senior ECD, Wunderman Thompson, Kolkata, said, ‘Who better to speak about investment in India than the Big Bull himself? Who better to recreate the imagery of Harshad Mehta than Hansal Mehta? Who better to enact that role than Pratik Gandhi? When one brings together all in a commercial, along with the iconic music, one can hope it’s going to be a memorable watch.”
The question is: will you buy a product that’s being pushed by Harshad Mehta, even if it’s in an ad?
