    By A Correspondent

     

    Tata Salt has partnered with a salt artist to create art that celebrates the true spirit of the Indian constitution. The brand released the video of ‘Salt Art’ on eve of Republic Day. The video art captures the essence of the Republic Day by depicting various features of the constitution such as equality, secularism, freedom of expression, fundamental rights and duties of the citizen etc. The video was conceptualised and developed by Ogilvy, Mumbai.

     

    Speaking on this occasion, Sagar Boke, Head – Marketing, Consumer Product Business, Tata Chemicals Ltd. Said: “Tata Salt aims to create relevant conversations on the days of national importance. For this Republic Day, our communication idea is to let the citizens know the privileges of being part of the world’s largest democracy and the importance of 26th January as the date that officially made us the republic. Our rights and privileges are more like Salt in our food. They often go unnoticed and we realise their importance when missing. We have used salt art as a medium to communicate this message.”

    By A Correspondent

     

    Pond’s Cold Cream is reaching out to the youth of today through its latest ad film. The ‘Jhappi Van’ social experiment conducted by Ponds is to gently nudge young people to go over and hug those they love.

     

    On the occasion of International Hugs Day celebrated every year on the January 21, these films, born out of an experiment, are a warm way of reminding people that nothing really compares to the warmth and love in a real hug.

     

    Said Zenobia Pithawalla, Senior Executive Creative Director, Ogilvy Mumbai: “Pond’s ki jhappi’ embodies the warmth, love and care that Pond’s Cold Cream gives to your skin. We decided what better way to build brand love, than by spreading the joy of a real hug. So, we came up with the Pond’s Jhappi van. This ‘hugs’ van gave you the opportunity of returning the love and care you got from those who showered you with theirs. Bringing alive all the attributes and emotions that Pond’s Cold Cream stands for.”

     

    Added Prabha Narasimhan, Vice President, Skincare and Colours, Hindustan Unilever Ltd: “With the launch of #PondsKiJhappi in 2017, we were looking at ways to take it forward and build on the same thought. Interesting consumer insights helped us understand that it’s relationships even beyond the mother-daughter bond (which is what we’ve shown in our TVC) that hold value when it comes to ‘care’ – which is what led to the idea of the ‘Pond’s Jhappi Van’. Our new set of digital films talk about different relationship dynamics and how a ‘jhappi’ is a great way to show that you love and care.”

    Sharing the thinking behind the campaign, Burzin Mehta, Group Creative Director, Ogilvy Mumbai, said: “Breaking the clutter in a rather uni-dimensional category like insurance has never been easy. More so, when you’re targeting young digital natives. The thought of a having an all-canine cast was inspired by the amazing popularity of cute animal videos on the internet. And for the first time we picked the cast before we penned the scripts. Gauging by the response, that may not be such a bad idea.”

    By A Correspondent

     

    A challenger brand wishing to take on a behemoth is not something new in communication.The recent Dominar 400 from Bajaj is doing exactly the same.

     

    Said Sumeet Narang, VP Marketing Bajaj Auto Ltd: “Long distance and leisure touring does not have to be devoid of modern motorcycling technology and performance. Dominar 400 identifies this glaring need gap and offers an athletic option which takes touring to a new level, not experienced by most riders in India. The brand task is to establish this form positioning and provoke answer to a question – what’s size without performance?”

     

    Added Sukesh Nayak, CCO, Ogilvy West (India): “‘Hathi Mat Palo’ is a phrase we often use to define being stuck with something that is dated and heavy on the pocket. Our big idea is based around this thought. We used the phrase to create a powerful execution that is designed to provoke the big motorcycle riders stuck with dated technology.”

     

    Other than a TV, the campaign consists of outdoor, and digital initiatives.
