  • For shingles awareness and prevention

    Amitabh Bachchan makes film with GSK

    By Our Staff

     

    GSK biopharma company has announced a partnership with Amitabh Bachchan to raise awareness about shingles, a painful condition that affects 1 out of 3 adults above the age of 50 years.

     

    The film has been conceptualised and executed by Lowe Lintas. The creative focus is on capturing the intensity of the shingles pain through powerful metaphors and images. The representation of pain is based on scientifically documented patient testimonies.

     

    The campaign film evocatively captures the agonising pain caused by shingles and its debilitating impact on the people living with it. It gives an important message that it is possible to protect ageing adults against this pain through vaccination.

     

    Dr Rashmi Hegde, Medical Director, GSK, said:“Amitabh Bachchan has been the face of several disease and vaccination awareness campaigns before, and his support has motivated people to take the required action to prevent these diseases. Today, India’s ageing population is rising, and we need to make them aware of diseases such as shingles which can impact their quality of life. We believe this will persuade more people to talk to their doctors about protecting themselves or their loved ones from shingles.”

     

    Commenting on the creative insight for the film, Sagar Kapoor, Chief Creative Officer (Global Brands), Lowe Lintas added: “Our challenge was to find a way to ‘show’ the unbearable pain of shingles, a sensation that can only be ‘felt’. That is why we have made use of imagery such as sharp nails piercing the body or a person getting electric shocks. We do not want to scare people, but we want to make them aware that Shingles can be extremely painful, and it can be prevented.”

    Dollar Industries, hosiery brand has collaborated with Saif Ali Khan as the face of Dollar Lehar,the affordable product segment of the brand. The new ad film conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, Kolkata and directed by Uzer Khan is set in the backdrop of Rajasthan.

     

    Said Vinod Kumar Gupta, Managing Director, Dollar Industries Limited: “The lines of distinction between top metros and the rest of India is fast blurring when it comes to making a fashion statement. Increasing disposable incomes coupled with the aspiration to look as stylish as their metronome brethren cuts across Tier 2 & Tier 3 cities. As India’s homegrown innerwear brand, we decided to create a level playing ground for both our premium and economy segment and therefore we needed a communication which would appeal to these new evolving consumer segment who aspire for value-for-money fashion. The first step in that direction was to rope in Mr Saif Ali Khan to add to the style quotient of Dollar Lehar and then have a communication that would reflect his uber-cool persona through a witty plot and a memorable execution in the campaign Mastiki Lehar.”

    Mullen Lowe films campaign for Fastrack

    By Our Staff

     

    Fastrack sunglasses has launch a new brand campaign titled #NecessoryNotAccessory. Conceptualised by Mullen Lowe Lintas, the campaign is showcased through three multi-concept films.

     

    Said Maneesh Krishnamurthy, Head of Marketing, Eyecare Division Titan Company: “In a tropical country like ours, sunglasses are a must-have. For decades, sunglasses have been marketed as a fashion accessory only but that is not just, why they were created. With #NeccessaryNotAccessory we want to bring new users to the category and grow it by showing the consequences of missing your sunglasses on your next holiday. We believe your beach holiday will never be the same after you experience it with polarised sunglasses nor will you experience the blinding effect of the Indian summer sun with the right mirrored sunglasses. We are ‘educating’ with a Fastrack quirk.”

     

    Added Sonali Khanna – President & Head of Lowe Lintas, South: “Fastrack is a brand where we’ve always made unconventional campaigns to match their unique products. Hence, we decided to push this from merely a ‘feature-education’ piece to a fun and interesting narrative on why sunglasses are ‘Necessary not Accessory’.”

This unique value proposition inspired our national campaign in 2020 – Dil Se Open. Following up on the earlier campaign, we have come up with a refreshing thought where we answer the question ‘What value does being Dil Se Open bring to you (our customers)?’  – the campaign is part of a humble journey where we only aspire to strengthen and deepen our emotional connection with our customers, and build on the trust enjoyed by Axis Bank, in a distinctive manner.”

     

    Added Prateek Bhardwaj, Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas: “Over the last two years, we have seen the Dil se Open campaign being truly owned by Axis employees.

The film beautifully captures the essence of the product and Mr. Pankaj Tripathi delivers the message in his inimitable style.”

     

    Speaking about the creative thought, Sagar Kapoor, Chief Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas added: “In a category that is always talking about something new, our challenge was to find an interesting way to talk about the new features in Radeon. We decided that instead of spelling out all the details in a conventional way, we will leave it to the intelligence of our audience to understand what is new. That how we landed the campaign idea, ‘samajdhar ko sirf ishaara hi kaafi hai’. Pankaj Tripathi became the obvious choice to play Bhaiyyaji in the campaign because of his signature style of communicating a lot just through his gestures.”
