    Netmeds.com has launched a new campaign with brand ambassador and cricketing icon MS Dhoni.

     

    The new TVC revolves around the theme that each person has within them an ‘inner Mahi’ who can rise to the occasion, shoulder responsibilities and look out for the members of the family. The campaign has been conceived by Publicis India and directed by Aatish Dabral.

     

    Said Pradeep Dadha, Founder & CEO, Netmeds.com: “Netmeds.com is fully geared to handle the specific needs of patients who are dealing with chronic illnesses. And equally important is the caregiver, the person in the household who is entrusted with the task of managing the medical needs of the ailing family member. This new campaign is based on the fundamental concept of distance caring, showing both the patient and the caregiver, that we deliver quality healthcare solutions across the country.”

     

    Added Suraj Pombra, EVP, Publicis Capital: “Every once in a while, one is rewarded with perfect pitch conditions: (a) a client like Netmeds.com that’s been leading the e-pharmacy market and delivering to satisfied customers across the country, and (b) a brand ambassador like MS Dhoni whose sense of responsibility doesn’t need any introduction. Our team had to rise to the occasion and fulfil our responsibility with an equally powerful communication platform that exploits these conditions to the maximum. ‘Har Ghar Mein Mahi’ leverages the core ethos of both MSD and Netmeds.com. But most importantly the idea is an ode to the Mahi in every home, those who carry the responsibility of taking care of their ailing loved ones, and Netmeds.com is their ally. The idea is delivered through various media formats in film and static, and we hope to extend and expand it as we move on.”

We have carefully understood the needs of the consumer in this category and the absence of innovation for a long time from the competition. Our new product offerings are unique, with faster-charging inverters that can also charge on lower voltages & batteries which will provide extra back up. This very fact is well resonated in this 360-degree marketing campaign that will help attract the consumer’s attention since these are based on their pain points. We wish to solidify our position in this category with an aim to gain a strong market share.”

It’s a song in praise of a great product. Creating something like this wasn’t easy but we’re happy that we have an end product that looks good and sounds pleasing.”
