    Apart from being probably the most popular star in the brand target consumer, Ranveer also happens to live the brand philosophy of Sada Sexy Raho. Brand Set Wet extolls young men to give up inhibitions & let their charm & passion show in everything they do – a philosophy Ranveer himself lives by. I think Ranveer & Set Wet are a potent mix with which we can create magic.”

     

  • Marico unveils new campaign for Parachute Advansed Body Lotion

    By A Correspondent

     

    Marico has launched a new campaign for its skin care brand Parachute Advansed Body Lotion in a step to fuel the brand’s growth for the upcoming season. In a category which is rooted in the problem solution space, Parachute Advansed Body Lotion has uniquely shifted the frame of reference with its emotive proposition of “Rekindling romance” in the married housewife’s life.

     

    Within five-six years of marriage, familiarity and presence of children takes a toll on the intimacy between the couple. Given the daily chaotic lifestyle, a housewife tends to neglect her body skin care needs with all her attention dedicated towards her family. Parachute Advansed Body Lotion through its new ad campaign intends to bring back this lost spark in relationships by promising a woman with ‘irresistible to touch’ beautiful skin in just seven days.

     

    The television commercial, that has been conceptualized by McCann Erickson, Mumbai, showcases a housewife expressing her surprise and excitement to her friend about her husband finding ways to touch her time and again, bringing the flames of romance back in their lives. The campaign educates that Parachute Advansed Body Lotion, rich with the goodness of coconut milk & 100 per cent natural moisturizer has been formulated to uniquely nourish the skin from within, in just seven days.

     

    Anuradha Aggarwal, Chief Marketing Officer, Marico Limited added, “Our new campaign highlights the transformation the use of Parachute Advansed Body lotion can bring to your skin in just seven days leading to the rekindling of romance between husband and wife. With winter around the corner, we are using this opportunity to urge homemakers across all metros and mini-metros in India to try the transformational effects of Parachute Advansed Body lotion.”

     

    Puneet Kapoor, Executive Creative director, McCann Erickson said, “Body lotion classically has been a difficult category to crack into, especially when we go down the strata. The idea of re-igniting romance in relationships was the starting point, but the real challenge was to make this transformation of skin very desirable. It’s from here that the idea of capturing beautiful fleeting moments of touch and the return of romance was thought of. With the high-point being a moment when an otherwise un-expressive husband, goes to the length of saying ‘coo-chi-coo’ as the couple take a selfie. The treatment that directors Subir and Namita  brought to the initial script made a real difference to the idea, making it a lot sharper and interesting creatively, and liberating the story into beautiful short cinematic moments strung together over a conversation with a close friend.
