    Sugar Free has unveiled a new campaign where it reaches out to people encouraging them to lead a healthier lifestyle by paying attention to details, however small or big.

     

    “At Zydus, we are committed to the wellness of the community and society we operate in. Excess sugar consumption leads to a host of diseases. While the consumer strives hard to be healthy and fit, the amount of sugar consumed often makes all the effort go waste. The TVC sheds light on this fact while establishing how Sugar Free is the 1st step towards living a healthier and fitter lifestyle,” said Elkana Ezekiel, Managing Director Zydus Wellness.

    The ever changing lifestyle of the people living in cities has led to an increase in the prevalence of lifestyle diseases. But there are also people who are doing all they can to counter the same. While they focus on the big changes necessary to get closer to their health goals, they often forget the small details. Like the sugar you consume with every cup of tea or coffee.

     

    The creative team at Contract Advertising decided to use this fact to the brand’s advantage. “This irony of the human behaviour is the creative idea. We took this observation of how a great effort to achieve good health, backed by immense willpower, often gets ruined because of mindless sugar consumption,” says Kapil Mishra, ECD, Contract Mumbai.

    Samsung India has appointed Rahul Saighal as its new chief marketing officer. He will replace Elkana Ezekiel, who is said to be joining Ahmedabad-based Zydus Wellness as managing director.

     

    Prior to this, Mr Saighal held the same position at the telecom company Aircel, which he joined in October 2007. Prior to that, he worked with Unilever for almost two-and-a-half years, starting August 2005, as regional brand director in Thailand.

     

    An economics graduate from St Stephen’s College, Delhi, Mr Saighal pursued his MBA in marketing from IIM Calcutta. His experience in the telecom industry could prove useful for Samsung, which is establishing itself as a key player in the smart phones and tablets category in the Indian market.

     

    Mr Ezekiel had joined the Korean consumer & electronics major in January 2011, prior to which, he was with Johnson & Johnson as regional franchise director for Asia Pacific. He held this position for about five years from April 2007, before which he spent 13 years in the organsation in various marketing roles.

     

    A Samsung spokesperson confirmed the development, while Zydus Wellness refused comment.
