    By A Correspondent

     

    Dentsu Aegis Network, the media and advertising conglomerate that operates 25 businesses in India, has now expanded its footprint into celebrity endorsement and sports marketing with the launch of CLab.

     

    With the launch of this new agency, the network intends to bring in a differentiated approach into the field of celebrity endorsements that is intelligent and is supported through substantiated understanding of the industry.

     

    Commenting on the launch, Ashish Bhasin, Chairman & CEO, Dentsu Aegis Network- South Asia said: “Today several of our clients invest huge amounts of money to establish their brand image with the help of celebrity endorsers. This is often done on gut feel. We hope to bring a data based, scientific approach in this area. Many of these celebrities are sportsmen and sportswomen and that gives us a great opportunity to offer both celebrity management and sports marketing under CLab.”

     

    Added Haresh Nayak, Managing Director – Posterscope Group, under whose executive mentorship the new agency has been set up, added, “Our vison with CLab is to bring accountability and informed decision making in a discipline which functions on perception, probability and gut feeling of advertisers in getting celebrities/sports personalities to associate with their brands. CLab aims to break the myth of notional acceptability that has its roots in experimentation rather than information. All the requirements of the Dentsu Aegis Network clients pertaining to celebrity endorsements and sports marketing will be directed to CLab for servicing and a team of experts is now in place to deliver this.”

     

    Said Deepak Kumar, Vice President- CLab, said, “Its exciting times for the group, which believes in constant innovation and service diversification into sectors that add value to media industry holistically and this has always been a part of our growth strategy. If we look at celebrity and sports marketing separately, the two might differ in their operational mechanism but the driving forces for the two are common. People, popularity, occasions and influence share the common angle, governing the dynamics of the business. We took timely cognizance of the lacunae that existed and focused our approach into forming India’s first data driven celebrity endorsement agency.”

     

  • In AdStrat, we bring you the strategy and execution of an ad given the creative brief given by clients

    AdStrat – Nescafe Cold Coffee

    Haresh Nayak, Managing Director, Posterscope Group India

    1. Name of the Campaign

    Nescafe Cold Coffee Campaign

     

    2. The Brief

    The Task was to give Nescafe outdoor a new and fresh look for the summers keeping in mind the existing Cold Coffee TVC on air.

     

    3. The thought process behind the creative

    With Deepika Padukone as brand ambassador of Nescafe the outdoor campaign was an attempt to highlight the COLD aspect of Nescafe. The creative were fresh and bright blue in color connoting Cold. It highlights Deepika Padukone with an appetizing glass of cold coffee with a clear cut message “Enjoy Nescafe Cold Coffee”. The idea was also to link it with our existing Nescafe cold coffee TVC that was on air in which Deepika does a jig and shakes it and makes her cold coffee.

     

    4. Media vehicles chosen

    Outdoor

     

    5. Key issues kept in mind while executing the ad

    The messaging had to be very direct. The whole layout should give a cold effect. It should be on the lines of the existing Nescafe TVC.

     

    6. Does the treatment do justice to the brief?

    Yes, it does

     

    7. What according to you is the differentiating factor about the ad?

    The messaging was very direct so one glance would make the viewer recall the Nescafe TVC and also it would work in isolation if he has not seen it.

     

    8. Market and client feedback

    Nestle was quiet happy with the outdoors as they were eyecatchy and the messaging was very direct.
