  • EyetexDazller takes emotional route to connect with its consumers

    By A Correspondent

     

    Cosmetic brand EyetexDazller has unveiled its latest digital campaign conceptualized by SoCheersInfotech. EyetexDazller has consciously steered away from doing an advertisement which focuses on their products or colorsand have chosen to go with an emotional connect.

     

    Released to coincide with the wedding season, the TVC starts off with a mother helping her daughter get dressed for her big day. A beautiful bond shared between a mother and daughter is showcased with the mother finding it extremely difficult to accept that it’s time to bid her goodbye. Enter the bridegroom who walks in to comfort the anxious mother and promises to take care of her daughter, no matter what.

     

    The groom sits down and kisses her hand and that’s when we realise that the bride is visually disabled. But does that stop her from looking beautiful and having the most beautiful day of her life with the man who loves her for what she is? No. Because everyone deserves a happy ending.

     

    “Around 68 per cent of women in India are non-experimentative with make-up. The bold & glamorous ads that make-up brands usually do intimidate the general massy people who find it difficult to feel as glamorous as the celebrities or models used by brands. We’ve seen women fall in that trap of buying make-up just for its aesthetic value & we thought it’s time to take a different approach. Real women wear make-up at important occasions in their life – dates, interviews, family weddings, etc. and we chose to highlight one of the most important days of a girl’s life – her wedding day. A day everyone, young and old, will relate to,” said Mehul Gupta, CoFounder, SoCheersInfotech.

     

    He further added that the idea behind choosing the a visually disabled girl is to pilot away from conventional brides. Disabled people have normal lives too and this ad just goes on to show that.

     

    The campaign was written by JitendraHirawat, directed by Mannish Madhavand produced by Imaginarium Media.

     

     

  • CALAE unveils digital ad campaign for plus size women

    By A Correspondent

     

    CALAE, a one of a kind plus size clothing brand for curvy women has unveiled its latest digital campaign conceptualized by SoCheers Infotech. CALAE has taken up the responsibility to reach out and empower and build confidence among the plus size women.

     

    The digital ad starts of with Rhea the protagonist being interviewed by the editor of a high profile fashion magazine. The editor, being surrounded by fashionistas day in and day out, believes that anyone who should work in fashion should fit in to the runway looks. While Rhea is far from fitting into his perception of a “perfect fit”, she manages to change the way he perceives beauty and convinces him that beauty comes in all sizes.

     

    “Around 20 per cent of retail sales in women’s fashion are for plus-sized women. The average size of an Indian woman does not fall under the perceived bracket of being beautiful. We’ve grown up with some barriers in our head of how being healthy or fat does not equal to beautiful. While creating this campaign our aim was to break those barriers & create the conviction among the Indian women of being comfortable in their own skin and create a level of self assurance that beauty lies within,” said Mehul Gupta, CoFounder, SoCheers Infotech.

     

    This campaign was shot by Once upon a Film production.

     

    “A woman’s beauty has often been defined by the size she wears. Due to this, curvy women are often questioned about their lifestyle and appearances. At CALAE we truly believe that beauty comes in all shapes & sizes; also more importantly comes from within. We want to reach out to all the curvy women out there and re-define the idea of a “perfect-size” & what beauty truly means,” said Yash Shah, Business Head, CALAE (www.calae.com)

     

     

  • SoCheers unveils TVC showcasing agency

    By A Correspondent

     

    Digital media agency SoCheers, has unveiled its TVC featuring the agency as an investigative intelligence bureau. The campaign positions SoCheers employees as secret agents who, with every client call they make and with every creative they post, are saving the digital world.

     

    As per the script, the plot follows a comical storyline of a literal making video wherein a SoCheers employee is shown facing the camera, sitting in his secret agent tux (with colourful shorts underneath) trying to shoot a monologue about the digital agency he works at, only to keep fumbling and to have his boss keep coming and correcting his lines. It’s meant to be a spoof on other companies who try and showcase everything good about the company with employee testimonials, but this video gives an insight into what usually happens before the final product is out.

     

    The commercial has been developed by SoCheers Infotech strategists and was shot by Once upon a Film.

     

    Speaking on the commercial, Mehul Gupta, Cofounder SoCheers Infotech said, “We are at the cusp of a significant transformation, having witnessed tremendous growth in the past year on both business and employee front. We wanted to take this opportunity to showcase how different we actually are from other companies out there & how we believe in being professional & playful at the same time. That’s what SoCheers’ identity has been over the last couple of years & it’s important to showcase that to attract potential clients and more importantly employees. The TVC showcases that our people are the heart of our business, reflecting a strong people culture which will help attract top talent from across the country.”
