    Great Learning launches its first TVC

    By A Correspondent

     

    Edtech firm Great Learning has launched its first television campaign titled ‘Power Ahead’. The campaign has been conceptualised and directed by Abhijit Avasthi from Sideways Consulting and Prasoon Pandey from Corcoise Films.

     

    Said Hari Krishnan Nair, Co-founder, Great Learning: “Lifelong learning is the new normal for all knowledge workers today. One cannot hope to grow in their careers without learning new skills on a regular basis. In fact, the willingness to learn and upskill is a key parameter that companies are looking for when hiring professionals today. With ‘Power Ahead’ we intend to encourage professionals to aim high, upskill regularly and keep themselves prepared for the big opportunities. Through this TVC, we are engaging in a dialogue with our customers, in a language and context that they will relate to – while communicating our core mission to make professionals proficient and future-ready.”

     

    Added Abhijit Avasthi, Sideways Consulting: “I am really excited to lay the foundation for the Great Learning brand story. With the world changing so rapidly, in the coming years upskilling is going to be crucial for India and its workforce. Our story brings alive an absolute truth – ‘growth only comes from learning’ – in a relatable manner that most of us have encountered at some point. I believe in an inward looking, degree-obsessed category, this film is a breath of fresh air.”

     

    Said Prasoon Pandey: “It was deeply satisfying for me to work on this film because it is a really sensitive story about a great friendship in the backdrop of Career Enhancing Programmes that could actually propel friends into very different orbits.”

    Great Learning launches thematic digital campaign, ‘Office Dinosaur’

    By A Correspondent

     

    Edtech company Great Learning has launched its thematic digital campaign ‘Office Dinosaur’, roping in comic Rahul Subramanian to play the protagonist. Conceptualised and executed by Bengaluru-based Bluebot Digital, the campaign shines the spotlight on the importance of upskilling in future-secure technologies and aims to motivate people to take proactive steps to enhance their careers. The brand film is being promoted on social media as well as content platforms like ScoopWhoop and YourStory.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Hari Krishnan Nair, Co-founder, Great Learning said: “The campaign evokes the familiar fear that every professional has of not being able to move up the ladder and ending up becoming a mediocre contributor. Till some time back, the route to career growth mostly entailed good performance and aptitude for a bigger role. However, with technology evolving rapidly, the ability to continuously learn and acquire new skills has become essential for anyone who is looking to climb the career ladder. The essence of the campaign is to directly speak to the customer – to engage in a dialogue with him, in a language and context that he will relate to.”

     

    On the process of crafting the ‘Office Dinosaur’ films for Great Learning, Carl Savio, CCO of Bluebot Digital said: “The Office Dinosaur is someone we’ve all encountered at every stage in our respective careers. So we thought, why not bring this relatable character to life and use it to connect with an audience that wants to get ahead in life.”
