  • Mullen Lintas’s new campaign for Motilal Oswal

    By A Correspondent

     

    Leading finance company Motilal Oswal Financial Services has rolled out its new brand campaign to position itself as an equity investing expert. Conceptualised by Mullen Lintas Mumbai, the brand film firmly establishes the role of the company as an expert in Equity & Equity Mutual Funds. The brand film goes on to trace some exceptional talent from across the country whose skills would put normal people to shame. A clerk at an office who’s faster than a machine in processing paperwork or construction workers at a building site that get their job done using unique  or a chef at an hotel who gets his chore done in the blink of an eye or even a barber, a bar-tender, a street food vendor, etc. All these individuals go on to show that “if you focus on one thing for a long time, you master it”. That’s what has driven Motilal Oswal to emerge leaders in equity investing.

     

    Commenting on the brand ideology and brief given to the agency, Ramnik Chhabra, Marketing Director, Motilal Oswal said: “Drive by our office at night and it will be lit green or red depending on how the stock markets have performed that day. Instead of ‘Up-Down’ buttons, our elevators have visuals of Bulls and Bears. We have one of the largest equity research departments in the industry. All the money of the company and promoters is invested only in equity. Needless to say; we are an ‘only equity focused’ investing house. This focus has helped us create a unique stock picking methodology (QGLP) to create wealth. The aim of the film is to, well; focus on this focus! And hence present Motilal Oswal as the equity expert you should think of if you are thinking about investing in equity.”

     

    Highlighting the creative idea behind the campaign, Garima Khandelwal, ECD-Mullen Lintas said: “Let’s celebrate skill, and the passion to do what you do every day and become the boss of it. The flair, rhythm and style makes it unique especially for the financial category. And that’s the contrast that excited us, for our clients. Motilal Oswal have mastered equity, and that is the single minded message we needed to put out loud and clear, hopefully entertaining all as they watch it.”

     

    Added Ayyappan Raj, EVP-Mullen Lintas said, “The client’s brief was quite simple and in a way very fundamental – we have been in the business of equity for 30 years and we’re really good at it. They pushed us to make this point in the most interesting way. What we’ve tried is exactly that, to make a point about how Motilal Oswal has been very successful with equity over the last thirty years. In a manner that’s fresh to the category and makes for enjoyable viewing. It was great working with the brand team on this campaign and they’ve been quite supportive of seeing this idea through in the best possible form.”

     

  • The ‘Man from Motilal Oswal’ emerges again with a new preachy campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    In recent months, India has emerged as the world’s fastest growing market for mobile trading. On the NSE alone, the turnover of mobile transactions has increased by 130 per cent over the past year, from Rs 50,800 crore to Rs 116,186 crore.

     

    It is estimated that the number of people trading and investing in equity market through the mobile platform is likely to garner about 15-16 per cent of the total trade done on the stock exchanges in the next three years.

     

    To highlight this transition, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd has unveiled a new campaign using the character from their popular ‘The Man from Motilal Oswal’ (MFMO) series. While the earlier commercials had the lead character portray a slightly serious role; giving advice to investors, in the new ad he has a relaxed demeneaour and helps clients use the Motilal Oswal Mobile Trading App to the best of its capabilities.

     

    Moving away from the template of the earlier ads which had a feel of a film trailer, the new ad packs in subtle humour derived out of the situations portrayed in the film. The screenplay of the film is also intriguing. The lead protagonist appears in unusual manner in every situation and helps his clients only for one to realize that he actually resides in the App. And that revelation happens with a punch when one of the characters in the end, innocently asks – ‘Button dabane se aap aajate hain’ and MFMO cheekily replies ‘App ki Kasam’. Overall, the film  make its point in an interesting manner.

    The brief was to break clutter, and to showcase a research orientation. The treatment does both quite well.

     

    What is the differentiating factor about the ad?

    The format of a trailer and the mystique of the old-worldly ‘Man from Motilal Oswal’ differentiates the film and makes it break clutter. It helps us stay focused on the anxieties and concerns of investors, without becoming boring.
