  • Kirloskar ad created by Lowe Lintas

    By Our Staff

     

    Engineering major Kirloskar has launched a campaign conceived by Lowe Lintas, to showcase how it touches millions of lives, cutting across sectors and geographies.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Madhav Chandrachud, President, Kirloskar Proprietary Limited said: “Almost all the Kirloskar products are intermediate and hence one might not ever get to see one working. With its wide range of engineering products, it’s critical that communication is humane enough for a wide cross-section to relate to and emotionally connect with the brand. That too without being burdened with the complex product stories. We are happy to have Lowe Lintas, a like-minded agency partner us shoulder the brand custodianship by handling the brand communication seamlessly since the past many years.”

     

    Added Shantanu Sapre, Executive Director, Lowe Lintas: “The idea was to celebrate the millions of smiles Kirloskar has been garnering and cherishing globally since the last many years. The creative and production challenge was to make it human-centric without compromising on creativity in the new normal. Production logistics of curbs on travel, etc also had to be kept in mind. The creative team led by Prathamesh Gharat, Joshua Thomas and Tejas Dangre, with inputs from Charuvi Lokare, and ably supported by Business Head Aniruddha Oka, came up with a simple and elegant solution of setting the film in a photo studio with changing cast members and backdrops, thereby conveying Kirloskar’s global presence without having to travel the globe.”

  • Vivo #SwitchOff Time campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Smartphone brand Vivo has launched the #SwitchOff campaign urging users to choose to take a break from their smartphones and spend quality time with their near and dear ones.  The campaign has been conceptualised and executed by Lowe Lintas.

     

    Speaking on the launch of the brand campaign, Nipun Marya, Director Brand Strategy, Vivo India, said, “The year of social distancing allowed us to stay connected and updated with the help of a smartphone. From working to studying, consuming entertaining content and staying connected with friends and family, we spent most of the time on our phones. The smartphone emerged as the central nervous system for everything, but its excessive use has impacted human relationships. As a brand aligned to the purpose of promoting the wellbeing of our consumers, we, at vivo India, commissioned this campaign to sensitize people about the benefits of mindful use of smartphones and spread the message of why there is a need to #SwitchOff your phones once in a while for healthier minds and stronger relationships – leading to happier lives!”

     

    Added Amar Singh, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas:  “Take a moment, go back in time and imagine spending 2020 without your phone. How that makes you feel, is precisely why it’s impossible to overstate the value of being connected. And of the role that smartphones have played and are playing in helping us get through this. Staying constantly connected however, comes at a cost.

     

    And when it keeps us away from the ones who love us for absurd amounts of time, that cost can be a bit too high. This isn’t a problem with a simple this or that answer though. In the end, the only answer is balance. By furthering the #SwitchOff campaign it started last year, vivo India has further strengthened its commitment to that balance. And with this film conceptualized by Rajat Dawar and Vishal Bagade, we are happy to have played our part.”

Conceptualised and scripted by Navin Chawla & Abhishek Dey, the touch of using a kids’ voice in a sing-song manner of storytelling will not only to break clutter, but also contextualize the word ‘attention’ with the right sentiment, emotion, and action towards choosing iProtect Smart – the all-in-one term plan.”

     

     

  • “Kya seekha?” asks Unacademy in quirky campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Edtech firm Unacademy has released a new campaign film called ‘Cracking the Game’ to mark its first year of association with the Indian Premier League and celebrate the process of learning. Conceived by Lowe Lintas, the film draws a fun correlation between students’ desire to learn and the passionate Cricket action seen on-field during the Dream11 IPL 2020.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Sonal Mishra, Director, Marketing at Unacademy said: “Our efforts during this IPL have all been about how our brand proposition, which is to learn from the best, can be tied to Cricket. While brainstorming ideas for this film, the takeaway was that all of us learn everyday, from the most unlikely sources, and often unknowingly. So, we wanted to see if we could draw parallels between various moments during the matches and learning. The response to the film has been spectacular and we’re delighted that our brand message is reaching deeper with this film.”

     

    Added Puneet Kapoor, Regional Creative Officer, Lowe Lintas said: “Unacademy’s spirit and philosophy of ‘Let’s Crack It!’ isn’t limited to students only, but inspires across. So when the marketing team came up with the challenge of cracking a great idea with IPL footage only, we thought of applying the academic gyaan in interesting, relevant, yet irrational juxtaposition. We had lots of fun in mixing and matching footage with theories and principles to come up with the gags.”

  • Dollar launches new TVC campaigns for the festive season

     

    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.
