However, over the years, we have diversified into bathroom fittings, kitchens and engineered marble & quartz. The communication objective was to tell the consumer of the stunning options we have beyond tiles – and we have made a start with bathrooms. To enhance salience, we had signed on Katrina Kaif to endorse the Johnson brand; the first set of communication on tiles was executed last year. This is the second TVC that we have done with her.”

We also shot the film in black & white to enhance its visual appeal.”
