    As a step-up from its ‘Be Trendy. Always’ campaign last year, Flipkart has recently launched a multi-film campaign aiming to establish itself as an ultimate destination for trendy and affordable fashion.

     

    Conceptualised and executed by Lowe Lintas Bangalore, this year the brand has moved a step forward to establish itself as an ultimate destination for every kind of fashion shopper, notes a communique.

     

    Explaining the rationale behind the campaign, Shoumyan Biswas, Vice President, Brand Marketing, Flipkart said: “Flipkart is the leader for fashion in the e-commerce space and our vision is to be India’s most preferred destination for trendy and affordable fashion.  We have worked on this vision for past one year and delivered campaigns like ‘If it’s trendy, it’s on Flipkart’ and ‘Be trendy. Always.’ which has given us phenomenal business results. On the back of deep consumer research, we understood that every fashion shopper has a different method to get what they want from fashion. Being relevant to every kind of fashion shopper, Flipkart can be the best place for everyone to look their best. Our new campaign ‘The best way to look your best’ is centred around this insight and brings alive different fashion shopper archetypes in a fun and interesting manner.”

     

    Highlighting the campaign thought, Rajesh Ramaswamy, Executive Director, Lowe Lintas said: “Not everyone has the same fashion needs. Some people look for exclusive stuff. Others look for the latest trends. Or the biggest brands. And so on. Working off this insight, we decided to position Flipkart as the perfect ‘hack’ for every kind of fashion shopper. Across five films, we showcased how Flipkart had everything anyone could ask for in the world of fashion, making it the perfect fashion destination for everyone.”

  • Campaign conceived by Lowe Lintas promises to curb rising prices

    Flipkart back with campaign for Big Billion Days 2017

    By A Correspondent

     

    It’s time yet again for Flipkart’s The Big Billion Days (BBD) which will be a five-day shopping festival.

     

    Conceptualised and executed by Lowe Lintas Bangalore, the campaign is a series of eight films, set in eight relatable, humorous situations that will be visible on and offline.

     

    Highlighting the creative thought process Arun Iyer, Chairman and CCO, Lowe Lintas said: “At a time when rising prices are on everyone’s minds, I think it’s quite cool that Flipkart is making it possible for people to afford the things they’ve always wanted. That’s where the line “Ab mehengaai giregi” comes in. Our intention was to make BBD more than just a mere sale event. Which is why we tackled the cultural problem of ‘mehengaai’ as a whole. We had a blast shooting these different situations, especially with Abhinay, who brings his own magic to everything he does.”

     

    Added Shoumyan Biswas, CMO, Flipkart:“Over the years Flipkart Big Billion Days has grown from the largest shopping carnival in India to being synonymous to #1 festive sale in the country. All of India will see prices drop on things they desire the most and exclusive deals and products unlike anywhere else. Our campaign ‘Ab Mehengaai Giregi’ puts out the biggest offers that are not just worth the claim but also address the daily life woes of every Indian about ‘Mehengaai’. Nothing is ordinary about the Big Billion Days for us, and we are well prepared to reach out to our consumers with highly engaging communication and epic offers”.

     

  • Lowe Lintas Bangalore unveils Phase 2 of the Flipkart Fashion campaign that highlights the brand’s proposition of enabling everyday fashion into an affordable reality

    Lowe Lintas unveils Flipkart Fashion’s new campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    After an integrated campaign to promote its fashion category six months back, Indian e-commerce major Flipkart is now back with the second phase of the campaign. While the first phase focused on pitching Flipkart Fashion as the one-stop place to spot and buy the latest trends, the second phase will focus on Flipkart helping people to “Be trendy always”.

     

    Commenting on the launch of the second phase of the integrated campaign, Shoumyan Biswas – Head, Marketing, Flipkart said: “Flipkart is the market leader in fashion amongst all online businesses. Our vision is to be India’s most preferred destination for trendy and affordable fashion. Hence, our category communication task for Fashion is to ‘Democratise Trendy Fashion’ for every Indian consumer. On the back of deep consumer research, we have understood that the desire to look good and be ‘trendy’ is universal and cuts across all demographics. Though, there are a few ‘beliefs’ that hold people back. In Phase 1 of fashion campaign in January, we had addressed the belief “that fashion trends are confusing or overwhelming”. That campaign gave us phenomenal results in terms of business and perception change. In the second phase of the journey, we will address the ‘belief’ that ‘Trendy Fashion is expensive’ and limits everyday usage. We have taken a very interesting approach to communicate this proposition through the endearing characters of ‘Neha’ and ‘Naveen’ who have cracked the code of “being trendy always”. These stories will be told in different phases of an integrated brand campaign across multiple online and offline touch points.”

     

    Highlighting the campaign objective, Rajesh Ramaswamy, ED, Lowe Lintas said: “We had a solid insight in hand- people who dress up very fashionably and everyday are perceived to be loaded. So the execution idea was to break this myth by introducing Flipkart Fashion that everyone can afford.”

     

  • Through Flipkart Fashion, the online player is providing a method to the madness of spotting the right trend by making trends – handpicked by top fashion experts, accessible to its consumers

    Flipkart Fashion asserts its uniqueness in campaign by Lowe Lintas Bangalore

    Leading online e-commerce playerFlipkart seeks to assist shoppers on all issues related to fashion. By launching Flipkart Fashion, it seeks to establish Flipkart as a destination for “affordable trendy fashion” by landing the proposition of being a one-stop solution to all fashion related confusions. Through Flipkart Fashion, the online player is providing a method to the madness of spotting the right trend by making trends – handpicked by top fashion experts, accessible to its consumers.

     

    To communicate this new offering, Flipkart has unveiled a high decibel integrated marketing campaign across India. The marketing campaign would span the online and offline platforms and reach out to a cross section of the populace in various regional languages. The communication has been flagged off by the launch of two video films on both the online and offline platforms.

     

    Conceptualised by Lowe Lintas Bangalore, the films promote Flipkart as the one stop shop for all needs around fashion. The films have been devised based on the insight that even though fashion as a category has scale and accessibility on Flipkart, it is still not a go-to platform for trendy fashion in the minds of consumers. Flipkart Fashion aims to change this perception and position itself as a trendy yet affordable destination for its consumers.

     

    Commenting on the marketing objective, Shoumyan Biswas – Head, Marketing, Commerce Platform, Flipkart said, “Flipkart is the market leader when it comes to fashion amongst e-commerce portals. Being a market leader, it is our responsibility to grow penetration of fashion across all consumer segments and need states. Also, fashion being a profitable segment with high growth, it is one of our top priorities. Our scale and depth in this category have helped us decode some key consumer truths. One of the biggest consumer aspirations is the desire to be “trendy”. We realized that this desire often goes hand in hand with “confusion” of finding out what is “in trend”. Basis this knowledge, we created a campaign around the proposition of “Being Trendy made Easy” by curating trendy selection by top fashion experts and offering them at affordable price points.”

     

    The films highlight the confusions related to trends surrounding fashion and how Flipkart Fashion is an assured solution that one can rely on. Be it about the ever-changing fashion trends to conflicting advices on trends and having to choose between too many trends…there are many confusions that confound and disorient the consumer. But with Flipkart Fashion that has over 100 stylists highlight emerging trends on the platform, users are to find only the best of the latest fashion. The films sign off with the line that ‘If it’s trendy, it’s on Flipkart’, which establishes the point that Flipkart Fashion offers users with only the latest trends.

     

    Highlighting the creative idea behind the films, Rajesh Ramaswamy, Executive Director, Lowe Lintas Bangalore said, “Fashion is something so relative, that it’s near impossible to wrap your head around it. The confusion about ever changing trends and the fashion world in general is something that everyone experiences. And yet, we are all conscious about what we wear and also about all the judgement that will be passed by our peers in the case we get it wrong. In the film, we have captured this very confusion and fear and provided a solution for it. With over 100 top stylists picking the latest trends for you, Flipkart fashion clears all confusion and lets you simply choose.”

     

     

  • The 'made-for-360 experiences' highlights the key offers of Flipkart's annual flagship sale tittled The Big Billion Days

    DentsuWebchutney’s 360 digital campaign for Flipkart sale

    By A Correspondent

     

    Flipkart and its digital partner DentsuWebchutney have come together to create a ‘made-for-360 experiences’ to highlight the key offers of Flipkart’s annual flagship sale tittled The Big Billion Days.
    As the lead character in the film says, it’s a “game disguised as a 360 video”.

     

    Taking from the campaign theme, ‘Ab ITNE mein ITNAAAA milega’ (cueing in value maximisation, courtesy the sale’s offers) – the activity maximised the experience of the user by packing in a treasure hunt within the 360 video. Said Shoumyan Biswas, Vice President – Marketing Flipkart: “For us engaging with our users with a compelling story is as important as sales. We constantly like to push the frontiers – be it with our service, technology or consumer engagements”.

     

    Said PG Aditiya, Creative Director, DentsuWebchutney says, “360 as a technology hasn’t progressed too far yet, and we were experimenting with form which had little precedence- gamification within storytelling using 360. There were tons of roadblocks- but as it’s always the case, the output was worth it. For Indian digital creatives, it’s a pretty big step in the right direction- with the potential of interactive video using tech that social gives you.”

  • New design captures the playful and youthful elements

    Flipkart refreshes brand identity; unveils new logo

    By A Correspondent

     

    After eight years of innovating and transforming the shopping landscape in India, Flipkart has now undergone a brand identity refresh. Starting with a new logo, the brand has now been refreshed across all the elements that have made it endearing to millions across India.

     

    Conceptualized and designed by Flipkart design team and an external agency called Umbrella Design – the new brand identity represents Flipkart’s vision of commerce in India by reinstating its focus on the mobile platform. The 3D design and contrasting color palettes in the new logo helps break the clutter and stands out on the mobile platform. The added zest and flavors in the logo make the brand more appealing and inclusive to all its audiences.

     

    The refreshed personality will reflect in all forms of the company’s messaging and engagement with customers. It will help customers experience ‘One Flipkart’ every time and at all touch points. Every stakeholder, be it customers, sellers, media, brand partners, vendors or employees, will experience a more witty, youthful and sincere Flipkart.

     

    Speaking on this ocassion, Shoumyan Biswas – Senior Director, Marketing, Flipkart said, “The refreshed brand identity, including the new logo, is a reflection of our promise to our stakeholders – youthful, innovative, fast and reliable. We have always been ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving industry and the new brand identity honours the legacy that we have built over the last eight years and at the same time looks into the future.”

     

    Shoumyan further added, “While developing the New Logo, we focussed on three key elements – one, the new identity had to create a positive perception about our Brand; two, the logo needed to be more inclusive in its appeal to all our customers and three, given our focus on the mobile platform it had to stand out on the app interface. With our new Brand Logo, I believe that we have achieved all of these.”

     

    This activity dovetails with Flipkart’s business focus where in the coming year, the brand wishes to reach everyone who has a pin code and a smart phone and fulfil their desires for great products at surprisingly delightful prices.
