    By A Correspondent

     

    With Diwali round the corner, Vodafone has launched a campaign encouraging people to share #YourWordsNotForwards this Diwali with a personalised greeting to their loved ones.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Kavita Nair, Chief Digital Transformation and Brand Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited, said: “In today’s automated world, relationships have moved from being warm and personal to being distant and impersonal. As a brand that believes in genuine conversations, we want to remind our consumers the importance of personal messages and calls and the love and warmth it conveys. Through this #YourWordsNotForwards campaign, we are encouraging everyone to take out time to wish their loved ones with a personal touch and send original greetings instead of forwards. We hope that people will take a lead and connect this Diwali in the real sense.”

     

    Added Kiran Antony, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy South and Team Vodafone, Ogilvy: “Wishing over a period of time has become impersonal. We are all guilty of it. What started off as calls to friends and family, came down to messages and is now only about forwarding wishes created by someone else. We wanted consumers to realise that every wish can also have a personal touch added to it. A sweet visual for this was to get a grandmother to make an effort while wishing her grandson and reminding everyone to share #YourWordsNotForwards.”
