In India, festivals bring a sense of perfection and aspiration in everyone’s buying behaviour. As families will be spending more time together this year, the preparations are going to be even more elaborate. Food being an integral part of all our celebrations, India Gate Classic promises to be that perfect ingredient to impress your guests and make your festive meals delicious.”

    By A Correspondent

     

    Dollar Industries has unveiled a new campaign to promote its existing range of Dollar Bigboss and Dollar Missy.

     

    Post a brand architecture exercise led by LinConsult, the strategic consulting division of Mullen Lowe Lintas Group, this campaign was developed by Lowe Lintas Kolkata.

     

    Said Vinod Kumar Gupta, Managing Director, Dollar Industries Limited:  “We have expanded the Bigboss portfolio to include not just innerwear but also athleisure, gym wear and casuals for men. With our decade long association with Akshay Kumar, our brand has witnessed a 3x times growth. Coming to Dollar Missy, for women, armed with an enviable range of womenswear, we felt it was time for us to break old-standing beliefs as well. Our festive collection consists of 102 colors to choose from. The leggings cater to various occasions and are a perfect fit for the women across various leagues of life.”

     

    Speaking on the idea behind the two campaigns, Janmenjoy Mohanty, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas added: “Fit Hai Boss as a tagline has always worked wonders for Dollar Bigboss and this time around we have used the phrase to develop a plot which is futuristic but at the same time it delivers a key message – Bigboss can’t be cloned. This imagery goes hand-in-hand with the newly created Dollar brand identity which speaks of the modern times, the science and innovation involved. Akshay is a brilliant actor who pulls off the film with flying colours. With regards to Missy, the concept was derived from the product itself. These easy-to-slip-on legwear are meant for a wide variety of occasions and uses and lends itself perfectly to the idea that today’s multi-tasking woman is game for #SpeedDressing.”

     

    Both the commercials have been directed by adfilm-maker, Shiven Surendranath.

    By A Correspondent

     

    Cars24 has launched a new campaign that highlights a unique way of selling cars directly to its customers. Offerings like ‘instant payment’ and ‘free RC transfer’ are part of the new Customer-to-Customer model. Lowe Lintas Delhi has conceived an integrated campaign to promote this new offering.

     

    Commenting on the development, Nida Naushad, Brand Head, Cars24 said: “We are super-excited since this is our second campaign with MS Dhoni and after the success of Dhoni Review System we have even higher hopes for the new one. This campaign highlights that customers no longer have to go through the hassles of looking for the right buyer for their car and also focuses on benefits of selling directly to the end customer; hence it gives our customers the best of both worlds.”

     

    Added Janmenjoy Mohanty, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas: “In our first initiative for Cars 24, we spotted a unique problem – that sellers often don’t realise buyers are right around where they are, closer to them than they think. And we got Dhoni to play on the front foot, showing second-hand car sellers that Cars 24 was indeed the best place to meet those buyers, directly.”

  • Gemini highlights product advantages via ‘Cholesterol Cutter’ campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Gemini Rice Bran Oil has unveiled its first national campaign. Aimed at better cholesterol reduction through its cholesterol cutter proposition, the Gemini Rice Bran Oil campaign highlights the product benefits of 40 per cent more Oryzanol as compared to any regular rice bran oil, working to reduce bad cholesterol in the body, more effectively.

     

    Speaking about the new campaign, Subin Sivan, Marketing Head, Cargill’s oils business in India said: “Studies indicate that 80 per cent of consumers are concerned about their heart health and cholesterol. In a move to fuel Indian kitchens with healthier alternatives, we launched Gemini™ Rice Bran Oil with a stronger cholesterol reduction claim supported by the presence of 40 per cent more oryzanol as compared to any regular rice bran oil. The cholesterol cutter campaign aims to establish this product superiority and build greater resonance amongst consumers regarding the benefit of choosing Gemini Rice Bran Oil, as their preferred cooking medium.”

     

    Added Janmenjoy Mohanty, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas: “When you have sharp product delivery, the onus is on the idea to deliver a hook that neatly grasps the consumer’s attention – and so the ‘Cholesterol Cutter’ was born. In the TVC, a bittersweet story talks about how it hurts when things like marks get cut, but not when it comes to cholesterol. A playful music track holds everything in place memorably. Though cholesterol is a much-repeated talking point, we created a signature style and tone for Gemini with ‘Cholesterol Cutter’ to make a difference in the conversation.”

Through #PooraKhayaal, the intent is to bust this myth through impactful stories and encourage consumers to question their choice of cooking oil.”

     

     

  • Lowe Lintas executes campaign for Veedol’s Take-Off

    By A Correspondent

     

    Veedol has launched a new campaign for its flagship brand – Take-Off. Lowe Lintas Kolkata, the agency-on-record for Veedol, has conceived the ad campaign that targets 2-wheeler riders in the country.

     

    The campaign film conceived by Lowe Lintas focuses on the innate characteristic of young Indians who challenge the status quo and set things right for the common good. The narrative is woven around these purposeful youth of today who see themselves as agents of change, with the inherent confidence and intent to make a difference to the society as a whole.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, R N Ghosal, Managing Director, Veedol India said: “The campaign showcases Veedol’s full range of motorcycle and scooter engine oils in an upbeat, youthful ambience with an over-riding sense of purposeful action built into the narrative. This would go a long way in enhancing Veedol’s imagery, in step with several other brand interventions we have undertaken recently like the launch of the new international packaging. I believe that this campaign is an important milestone in positioning Veedol as a vibrant and youthful brand of choice for emerging consumers.”

     

    Added Janmenjoy Mohanty, Regional President, Lowe Lintas: “While tuning into the larger India story, we were looking for a youth truth that would suitably reflect the current dynamic. Our search led us to the fact that young people are self-starters, who will not wait for things to happen, but effect change themselves. That is what makes them the ‘young engines’ of a fast-changing India. A belief we reflect in the new communication for Veedol.”
