    Mullen Lintas Mumbai has bagged the creative mandate for Marico’s Saffola Honey and Saffola Soya, following a multi-agency pitch. The agency already handles the creative duties of Saffola Gold, Saffola Oats (Masala & Plain) and Saffola Oodles, thus expanding the portfolio.

     

    Speaking of the win by the agency, Hari Krishnan, Chief Executive Officer, Mullen Lintas said: “Forgive the pun but this win is too sweet! It was a really exciting challenge that was posed by the marketing brief, to create a distinct brand narrative in a category that has seen the dominance of one brand. We were able to define the business objective and the problem definition sharply and then we went on to identify consumer insights that were rooted in some category/product truths which could help build a new narrative in a category where the purchase decision is almost habitual or routine. We look forward to partnering Marico in building a distinct brand space for Saffola Honey & Soya.”

     

    A Marico spokesperson added: “We see tremendous potential to build scale in the healthy foods category. We are committed to deliver ‘better for you’ differentiated offering to our consumers under our brand Saffola. With our partners Mullen Lintas, we are looking forward to create new benchmarks in this exciting category.”

    By Our Staff

     

    Tata Tea Gold, the marquee brand from Tata Tea’s diverse portfolio, has rolled out its latest campaign ‘Dil Ki Suno’. The campaign conceptualised by Mullen Lintas Bengaluru, captures the predicaments that are faced by today’s women in pursuit of choosing to listen to their minds or to their heart.

     

    Commenting on the Tata Tea Gold’s proposition of Dil ki Suno, Puneet Das, President – Packaged Beverages (India and South Asia), Tata Consumer Products said: “Tata Tea Gold has formed a strong proposition over the years to be the brand that encourages one to always listen to their heart. It may not always be an easy path but will help them charter their own track. As a brand we have been bringing alive ‘#DilKiSuno’ positioning with great pride and passion and will continue to bring to fore inspiring stories to stir consumers to tap into their inner voice and follow their own calling.”

     

    Commenting on the creative thought behind the campaign, Garima Khandelwal, Chief Creative Officer, Mullen Lintas added: “There is a tussle between the head and the heart, logic and magic, but it comes most in play in moments that can be life altering, and finding a moment to listen and weigh the implications to go out and follow the heart is the brand space. With this campaign we are celebrating real inspiring stories where that inner conflict was resolved and the dilemma was overcome to scale the heights, as a salute from the brand to celebrate going out to achieve your dreams, and elevate the thought of #DilKiSuno”

    Future Generali Insurance launches new TVC

    By Our Staff

     

    Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited (FGII) has launched the ‘Once in a Blue Moon’ campaign which challenges Indian consumers’ belief on the usage of health insurance as a one-off activity. The TVC is conceptualised by Mullen Lintas.

     

    Said Ruchika Malhan Varma, CMO, Future Generali India Insurance: “Being a ‘Life-Time Partner’ for our customers, we invest heavily in understanding their needs and developing innovative propositions that address their evolving asks. Accordingly, we recognised a propelling customer need for an all-encompassing health cover leading us to conceptualize a comprehensive health product, an offering that can be effectively used every day, every week and month. Contrary to popular belief, insurance is a partner for life, not just a one day requirement. Through its distinct positioning as ‘The Everyday Health Insurance,’ FG Health Absolute promotes regular health management practices to aid customers in adopting a healthy lifestyle. It goes a step further and nudges members to live a healthier life through the elaborate wellness loyalty and rewards programme.”

     

    Added Garima Khandelwal, Chief Creative Officer, Mullen Lintas: “’Once in a Blue Moon’ campaign  for FG Health Absolute goes on to ask the very pertinent question of why people use their health insurance rarely, prompting individuals to choose a cover that offers daily health benefits and services. The insight focused on highlighting all the “accidents” that happen only once in a blue moon, pretty much as often as one uses one’s health insurance currently. The team highlighted the same sharply and creatively, with the intent to land the differentiation and also do it in the tonality of the brand, which is distinct from the competition.”

    Future Generali unveils insurance for dogs

    By Our Staff

     

    Future Generali India Insurance Company Limited (FGII) has announced the launch of ‘Oh My Dog!’, a digital campaign to create awareness around the importance of purchasing dog health insurance cover towards protecting our furry friends. This 360-degree digital campaign is conceptualised by Mullen Lintas.

     

    On the launch of the campaign, Ruchika Malhan Varma, Chief Marketing Officer, Future Generali India Insurance said: “As a brand that is focused on having a pulse on its customers evolving needs and providing innovative solutions across their life cycle, we realized the place a dog holds in a household today – that of a family member. This meant bringing forth an unfelt need – just as one would protect a loved one with health insurance, a pet parent can also consider purchasing a dog health insurance cover for safeguarding their four-legged doggie family. However, here is the twist. Insurance is a serious matter while we associate dogs with mischief and play. Hence, to drive home the importance of dog health insurance cover we decided to launch a playful digital campaign that showcases the mischiefs that dogs get into while also being value accretive.”

     

    Said Garima Khandelwal, Chief Creative Officer, Mullen Lintas: “Dog insurance is a first mover advantage in India for Future Generali India Insurance. We have a lot more dog parents, which means more pet stores and pet products around us today and it’s a fresh category for mass media that is catering to this spike, and as an insight for the offering, it’s something that works across borders. To be relatable and sharply land the need for insurance for your furry babies was the only lookout. Cute dogs being silly with a catchy track that was a fit for this film. The challenge was to shoot these situations such that it doesn’t harm or pose any threat to the 14 dogs on set, involving immense pre planning and many cheats on post. The campaign hashtag OH MY DOG, is a memorable hook to witnessing a dog land in trouble, without any intention to of course.”
