  • Sanjeev Kotnala on the Tanishq and the controversy around it. "I find nothing wrong with the ad… In fact, I find it a decently good ad," he writes

    Intent does not count in a troll-defined world

     

    By Sanjeev Kotnala

     

    For me, the  Tanisq Ekatvan (Unity or Oneness with Divine Consciousness) advertisement appeared first in a WhatsApp group. A group that is reasonably levelheaded. The post read, “https://youtu.be/t3dJtFoVWWM,  the trolls have got this ad pulled off the air. Let’s spread it as widely as possible.

     

    What do you think happened next? 

    We did not ask why the ad should be spread widely? However, eight of us saw it in the next 2 minutes and started discussing the advertisement, the story, the trolls and the brand. It is safe to presume that this must have happened across a hundred and thousands of WhatsApp groups. Keep this thought parked at the back of your head.

     

    Tanishq Ekatvan Content

    The story of a Hindu girl marrying into a Muslin family. The Muslim family adopting one of the Hindu rituals to see their daughter-in-law smiling. A thought of unity, inclusiveness and togetherness. However, the big political trolls saw it otherwise—an opportunity to keep alive the hatred and polarised emotions.

    It was trolled to such an extent that the Tanishq took it off from their official digital platforms. Maybe the nearness to the festival season influenced the hasty decision of bowing to the trolls. Being a commercial entity, it made sense. But there are other things that, according to my dear friend and a familiar person, the Consultant Vermajee thinks makes no sense. I am surprised, how most of us, the myopic in-sighters lose the sight of sinister possibilities that the Trolls can expertly visualise.

    Somewhere someone commented on the Tanishq ad. The person said, ‘the Hindu Trolls should understand that it is the Muslim family, which is adapting to the Hindu Rituals, they should be happy’. However, a large section of voice on the social platforms challenged brand Tanishq to do the same communication with the roles reversed. A Muslim Girl Marrying into a Hindu family and the family adopting a Muslim ritual for her. Well, one can anticipate how bad the backlash could be. I am sure, no smarty at the client-side considered such a possibility.

     

     

    Personally, I find nothing wrong with the ad. In fact, I find it a decently good ad.

     

    Why Integration Is Tough.

    The buzz on social platforms will make us believe that no one wants to see a better tomorrow. No one wants re-integration of regions and religions. Unfortunately, we seem to be trained now to see ulterior motives in everything positive. Maybe the current situations make us believe the impossibility of the task. In the process, we are creating our cocoons. We are alienating ourselves. We believe the hatred-filled narrative presented to us on the social and political platforms and Toxic channels.

     

    Some Voices.

    I like the same voices on twitter. @RosheeLc tweet’s, “It’s unfortunate that a creative ad of the Tanishq brand is pulled out just because it is distasteful to a particular section of the society. The basic premise to launch any ad should be to target the heterogeneous audience that endorses its belief system and sees value in it”.

    @Ambimpg says, “This is a wonderful ad. I said so in a media interview. But trolls being trolls.. @TanishqJewelry has withdrawn the ad. Maybe Diwali season is too close for comfort”.

    A voice not held in high esteem by me, Chetan Bhagat tries to take a high stand without evaluating a business decision. He tweets, “As a TATA group company, expected #Tanishq to be fairer and braver. If you have done nothing wrong, if you have shown something beautiful about our country, don’t get bullied. Be Indian.

    Be strong”. A voice @Srimatesh tells Chetan, “Absolutely. And it takes a real spine to own up a goof-up which they promptly did. Kudos #TanishqEkatvam #TanishqJewelry #TanishqAd”

     

    Absolutely. And it takes real spine to own up a goof-up which they promptly did. Kudos #TanishqEkatvam #TanishqJewelry #TanishqAd

    — श्री ಶ್ರೀ ?? (@srimatesh) October 13, 2020

     

    And I am appalled by a voice that I respected now acting silly. Kangana Ranaut tweeted, “As Hindus, we need to be absolutely conscious of what these creative terrorists are injecting into our subconscious, we must scrutinise, debate and evaluate what is the outcome of any perception that is fed to us, this is the only way to save our civilisation #tanishq“. And the tweet was running with thousands of likes!

     

    This advert is wrong on many levels, Hindu bahu is living with the family for significant amount of time but acceptance happens only when she is carrying their heir. So what is she just a set of ovaries?This advert does not only promote love-jihad but also sexism #tanishq

    — Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) October 13, 2020

     

    Social platforms will make us believe that more people are against the advertisement. It will tell us that the highly polarised voices are getting appreciated. It is definitely a sad state of affairs.

     

    Consultant Vermajee Debates

    Tanishq is a big brand and a Tata company. It must be having decent-sized agencies on its roll. The agencies must be alive to the current situation on the ground. They must know the prevailing sentiments that the minority in the majority and the majority in the minority have against each other.

    In such times, how could the agency be so blind, as to propose such a goody-goody- we-all-are-same-blood-Hindustani inclusive communication. Unless it was a strategic call. Unless the brand expected to be trolled for it. Unless the brand believed, trolling will give them more eyeballs than a typical media investment can. Unless they think, the buying decision of the people who can afford Tansihq will not be impacted by the trolls.

    With such a communication, the client-agency teams would have done scenario building and planned their defence and an honourable escape.

    If the agency failed to advise the client to take an open-eyed conscious decision and have a backlash management plan ready. In that case, they should not hold their position. What was their Consultant doing? Talking of being hyperopia with a myopic skew.

    Dinesh Gopalan a friend and IIM-A batchmate puts it in the right perspective. He says, “love jihad is real. Excessive political correctness is not good. It is good to call a spade a spade. The ad needs to be taken down.”. It is a point-of-view that Vermajee and I may not wholly agree with. We like a true Consultant would add, “if you do this as a part of an open-eyed decision, then be willingly stand up for your right and don’t take the advertisement off”.

     

    The Question Remains.

    Till when will the freedom of expression be denied to the advertising profession. When will we ensure that polarised voices do not pressurise business entities to withdraw their communication? Something so harmless; unless seen with polarised eyes and mind. Till when will the creative expression and storytelling need to be watered to be politically and socially acceptable to every Tom-$@&# and Harry.

     

    Should We Get Back To Storyboard Approval?

    I worked in the only-Doordarshan era. The period when we would submit a storyboard for approval. No one shot without approval. No one knew what could be objected to. Invariably the approved storyboard would come to the rescue if any objections were raised later-on.

    It seems we need a communication approving body with members representing regions, religions, caste and professions which would approve the script. And even that may not be a complete assurance for any objection on a later date but will be better than the state of anarchy we face today. I don’t see it as sarcasm or a retro mindset. What we are doing is retro.

     

    PostScript.

    Someone said- if only Tanishq could have added at the end- Jago Re Jago Hindu Jago re. And it really summed up the picture.

  • This film has stimulated divergent and severe reactions, contrary to its very objective, notes the Tanishq statement

    Tanishq: Withdrew this film keeping in mind hurt sentiments & well-being of our employees, partners and store staff

    By A Correspondent

     

    We received this mail from the agency representing Tanishq, a Tata group company, quoting a spokesperson on the Ekatvam campaign:

    “The idea behind the Ekatvam campaign is to celebrate the coming together of people from different walks of life, local communities and families during these challenging times and celebrate the beauty of oneness. This film has stimulated divergent and severe reactions, contrary to its very objective. We are deeply saddened with the inadvertent stirring of emotions and withdraw this film keeping in mind the hurt sentiments and well-being of our employees, partners and store staff.”

  • Prabhakar Mundkur: While the world is rising for unity, are we digressing?

    By Prabhakar Mundkur

     

    2020 is a year of huge upheavals not only because of Covid, but because of the huge social uprisings for unity.

     

    The killing of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man in Minneapolis, by the police sent a sweeping shock wave of social change the world over.

     

    Racism of any kind just went out of the window this year. And the impact on brands was tremendous. Almost every brand worth its salt pledged to be fair and non- discriminatory. Brands asked people to stand against racism. Even the stoic Hindustan Unilever joined the tirade against discrimination of any kind when it decided to change the name of one its most profitable brands in country Fair & Lovely to Glow and Lovely. Such were the sweeping forces of an unprejudiced world. I sometimes wonder if Covid might have helped because it didn’t discriminate either between rich and poor, black and white or rich and poor.

     

    So, when Tanishq one of India’s favourite brands put out a commercial about the unity between two religions the uprising on Twitter felt unfair and the height of discrimination. After all India has been a pot pourri of various races and religions for centuries.

     

    https://twitter.com/beastoftraal/status/1315848777123598337?s=20

    Tanishq has pulled the creative off YouTube. The ad can be viewed here on a tweet by @bestoftraal – Ed

     

    Another common practice has always been to celebrate each other’s festivals and cultural practices. After all who can but help to eat biryani at Id, order a Sadya menu for Onam, or offer tilgul for Makar Sakranti. Somehow India has grown up celebrating every festival irrespective of which state, language or community it belonged to. Following this pattern, the commercial shows the mutual respect for each other’s customs.

     

    So, the outrage on Twitter seemed a little misplaced. Unless it was not representative of the feelings of the population at large.

     

     

    Should brands give in?

     

    I think when brands have done no wrong they should stick to their guns. And not get cowed down the mass hysteria on Twitter? Why do Twitter mobs behave in such extreme ways? Mob anger can be strange, pathological and monstrous. Behaviour of a larger group is known to have a big influence on individual behaviours and have been an area of interest in social psychology for years. Psychologists have found that group behaviour tends to be more extreme and amplifies the typical behaviour of its individual members. Mobs are known for losing their self-awareness. Sociologists refer to the process as de-individuation where individual personalities become dominated by the collective mindset of the crowd. Gustave Le Bon an early explorer of this phenomenon viewed crowd behaviour as “unanimous, emotional, and intellectually weak”.  The other reason is that twitter anger dies down as quickly as it is ignited. The half-life of a tweet ( average lifespan ) is 24 minutes or thereabouts.

     

    So, a kneejerk reaction to take your commercial off the air might well be unfounded.

     

     

    What else can brands do?

     

    Companies need to figure out strategies for dealing with social media manipulation with respect to their ads. After all a pattern seems to have been established of cyber bullying to pull out movies and ads.

     

    It can’t be difficult to gauge the reaction to your ads. Research should warn you about cultural inflections, and if there is an ad that has even a small probability of inciting twitter mob anger it might be better to go in well prepared. If social media and twitter can be manipulated by politicians and religious groups can’t they be manipulated equally by the biggest and best marketers in the country?

     

    Maybe we are seeing the dawn of a new era. Where brands can use their marketing power to do what politics and the law can’t do. Right the wrong. Tell television channels to stop doling out trash to the public. Tell Twitter mobs to shut up. Hail brand power! We might well be at the edge of a new era in marketing!

  • The campaign is titled ‘Ekotai Shundor, Ekotai Shokti'

    Tanishq unvels Pujo campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Jewellery brand Tanishq has launched a new campaign for Durga Puja. Conceptualised by Tanishq and WYP Brand Solutions, the campaign is titled ‘Ekotai Shundor, Ekotai Shokti’.

     

    Notes a communique: “The campaign attempts to put across a significant message and a deeper realization that has been brought to the fore especially in the recent times – that one cannot battle it out alone and the true essence of victory lies in the spirit of oneness. Every year Bengalees look forward to bringing Maa home and indulging in the festive fervor because for them Pujo is not just a festival, it is an emotion. Staying contextually relevant, the campaign also leaves the viewers with the thought of celebrating Pujo responsibly while abiding by all safety precautions!”

     

  • The campaign aims to take forward this tradition of purchasing jewellery which makes Diwali auspicious and special

    Laqshya exhibits Tanishq’s festive campaign for Virasat collection

    By A Correspondent

     

    We wrote about its television campaign recently, now read about Tanishq’s outdoor campaign for its festive collection, Virasat.

     

    The campaign was executed by developing the brand’s communication in multiple cities like Agra, Ahmedabad, Allahabad, Bengaluru, Vadodara, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Indore, Jaipur, Jamshedpur, Kanpur, Kolkata, Kolkata Upcountry, Lucknow, Ludhiana, Meerut, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, Raipur, Ranchi, Surat, Varanasi and Vijayawada.

     

    Speaking further on the campaign’s success, Naresh Bhandari, COO, OMI, Laqshya Media Group said: “Diwali and Tanishq are essentially connected to each other. Buying gold in Diwali has been a big part of our tradition across the country. This Diwali offer by Tanishq needed a much fierce noticeability at the time when all the competitors are active on OOH and vying for consumers’ attention. The team took it as a challenge to ensure we are not just noticed but, we impact them too. The dual approach of attaining reach and frequency using our In-House tool cut corners and we were able to deliver a successful campaign.”

     

    Added Deepika Tewari, Associate Vice President– Marketing, Jewellery Division at Titan Company Limited: “Each Diwali is a testament of the tradition that has been passed down from one generation to another and have been followed each year with equal vigour. This collection is a tribute to the innumerable ‘Rivaaj’ or traditions that are followed by us, especially that of buying gold and hence the name ‘Virasat’. We sincerely hope our exclusive festive offers along with our grand new Virasat Collection will add a bit of sparkle to everyone’s life. At Tanishq we wish everyone to be a part of Rivaajon wali Diwali, Tanishq waali Diwali.”

  • The TVC features southern super star and face of Tanishq South, Nayanthara

    Tanishq TVC highlights festive spirit of Tamil Nadu

    By A Correspondent

     

    Tanishq has launched its latest ad film targeting its large customer base in Tamil Nadu. The new TVC will feature Nayanthara, actor and face of Tanishq South.

     

    Speaking about the film, Deepika Tewari, Associate Vice President– Marketing, Jewellery Division at Titan Company Limited said: “Tamil Nadu has always been one of our primary focus markets because of our history with the state and the fact that we started our journey by establishing our first store in Chennai and our factory is also located at Hosur. Tanishq’s traditional designs and craftsmanship are a perfect fit with the jewellery preference of Tamil Nadu. The film is an attempt to tell our customers how deep-rooted we are as a jeweler, in every joyous and auspicious moment in their life. To crown it all, Nayanthara, with her elegance and striking beauty brings more glitter to the film, just like our brand.”

     

    Added Sagar Kapoor, National Creative Director at Lowe Lintas: “With a large line of jewellery players in Tamil Nadu, Tanishq needed a strong emotional connect to win the hearts of Tamil Nadu.  The films speaks a simple language of connections by reaffirming the rooted Tamil identity through a popular Tamil folk song ‘Kummi adi’, a folk song which is an integral part of all celebrations from weddings to smaller ceremonies at home. The film features Nayanthara at her graceful and elegant best adding a touch of joy to every auspicious celebration.”

     

     

  • Diamond have started getting a new sparkle with 100% buyback at current prices promise, writes Sanjeev Kotnala

    It’s not just about Gold at Tanishq

     

    By  Sanjeev Kotnala

     

    It is the festival and marriage season. And gold is crossing all known limits. It’s also Tanishq time.

    It is natural for the middle-income household to be doubting purity and buyback values of their gold that they are buying, exchanging, repairing or melting.

    Karat meters are working overtime across more than 280 Tanishq showroom across the nation are busy shaping dreams.

    Diamonds after Nirav Modi are failing to find favour among jewellery buyers. But at Tanishq, it’s a bit different. There is trust which gets amplified with the 100% buyback on them at current prices. Diamond start getting a new sparkle.

    TANISHQ HEARTFELT GOLD.

    I recently saw these three beautiful films on the Tanishq website. I have not seen them on TV, and not much is spoken about them on social media. Maybe I missed them. They seem to evoke the right emotion and reactions from consumers and people I could check. wit

    What I was interested was in seeing how far does the brand take what it promises on its site. And that took me to the showroom at Borivali and Oberoi Mall in Goregaon.

    I was suitably impressed by the near-templatised humanly perfected identical treatment. I can endorse what Tanishq says about their customer service. “We strive to ensure that every employee at Tanishq is welcomed into the folds of our protective family with their best interest being one of our main concerns. Our Karigars are provided with world-class facilities, a safe and supportive environment and are well taken care of with benefits like health care and financial aid. With the advancement of jewellery making equipment and technology, our workers also gain training and access to these top-of-the-line machines to aid in the creation process of their masterpieces.”

    TANISHQ JEWELLERY MAKING CHARGES.

    Tanishq has become a benchmark of purity and customer service in gold jewellery. People, after experiencing carat deviation between claimed and actual on their old jewellery, have shifted. They are now willing to pay a premium on making charges once they are assured of the purity and carat of the gold they are buying. Though Tanishq talks of every jewellery piece being crafted to give it a signature finish and the availability of a wide range of gold jewellery where the making charge start at 8% only. Now, this is the standard ploy; you hardly find much jewellery at 8% making charges. Mostly it is around 18-20%. Maybe a Tata brand could be a bit more transparent than starting at 8% gimmick.

    PUSHING THE PURCHASE VALUE.

    The team of salesperson take good care and keeps you engaged. It is their role to push the value of the purchase. Hence if you say you want a jewellery costing Rs 1  lakh, they will show something starting at 1.5 lakh. This strains customers from the middle-income household who walk in after doing their complete maths.

    The customers finds themselves constrained in the ambience of the showroom. They feel hesitant voicing their concern. Their body language closes out. There would be a feeling and a question if they were better at the family jeweller.

    The joy of buying gets threatened. Maybe it is nice to show 1.5 lakh but please show then the lakh piece too.

    THE KARAT METER MAGIC AND ISSUES.

    The state-of-the-art Karatmeter present in every Tanishq store is a very accurate way of measuring the purity of Gold. I have personally experienced the trust it evokes and has seen it tilt discussion in favour of Tanishq.

    THE MELT BEFORE YOUR EYES MAGIC.

    When a customer brings old gold for exchange at Tanishq, he or she sees the old gold melt in front of their eyes. The pre-and-post melt weighing is done right in front of you. The result, the weight and the karat reading are always right.

    THE MATHEMATICAL CHALLENGE CUSTOMER.

    Here is what I witnessed at one of the Tanishq showrooms. The Tanishq team takes the pain to explain to mathematically inclined jewellery exchange couple how a 40 gram 23-Karat and a 10 gram 20-Karat gold after melting can become 50 gram of 18.3-Karat. They are convinced only when another customer who is watching the argument and steps in to explain. It is all about soldering – tanka in the old jewellery.

    The couple understands and compliments, saying they have got their old jewellery checked in two towns across three Tanishq showroom getting precisely the same reading. Maybe some amount of pre-explanation is required.

    THE GOLD HARVEST SCHEME.

    You should see how the salesman, while selling a small piece, is busy upselling dreams. He is pushing the Gold Harvest Scheme. Where one can accumulate money over a period of time and at the end of the period, buy the jewellery they want. With the Tata brand, the security of money is guaranteed. I would presume Tanishq showroom at least the one I visited on that particular day was showing a minimum of 50% GHS subscription.

    BIG HEARTED RELATIONSHIP.

    Tanishq is taking personalisation and emotional touch to a new level. When you unsubscribe to their mail, what you read before you say click is so endearing. “We’d be terribly sad if we can’t send you emails any more. But if you’ve had enough, with a heavy heart, we say this. Click here to unsubscribe.”

    This service standard is apparent across Tanishq, Zoya, Mia, Caratline, Helios World Of Titan, Fastrack, Titan eye plus Skinn. It is how the complete brand trust is retained and strengthened.

    TANISHQ, BEYOND GOLD AND SELLING.

    It feels good to know some more facts about Tanishq sincerity. So, what if my source is just its website. I will trust the brand to tell me the truth.

    • Over 70% of the water used in manufacturing is recycled.
    • 30% of the energy used in manufacturing is renewable.
    • 40% of the Gold used comes from recycled sources.
    • The Titan Kanya Initiative helping educate more than 34,000 girls.

    It’s a Tata brand- is there anything more to say.

     

     

  • The campaign comprises of a series of videos which portrays emotions and couples it with rationality

    Tanishq’s latest campaign celebrates goodness of gold

    By A Correspondent

     

    Tanishq has launched its latest campaign which highlights the #GoodnessOfTanishq and communicates the message that when you choose Tanishq, you choose gold that is enveloped with the blessings of every life it has touched.

     

    Conceptualised by WYP Brand Solutions, the campaign comprises of a series of videos which portrays emotions and couples it with rationality, thus bringing alive the concept of blessed gold or ‘Dua Ka Sona.’

     

    Speaking about the films, Deepika Tewari, Associate Vice President – Marketing, Jewellery Division at Titan Company Limited said: “The campaign ‘Dua Ka Sona’ is an attempt to highlight Tanishq’s relentless commitment to various entities– environment, karigars, women and girl child. Being in Indian market for over two decades and serving millions of customers, through this campaign we wanted to bring alive the blessings and love that is reflected in our jewellery by all the beautiful hands it touches. For us, making these ‘Goodness of Tanishq’ films and working on delivering the thought behind them has been an emotional journey and we are confident these videos create a sense of responsiveness to society as a whole.”

     

    Added Amit Akali, MD & CCO, WYP Brand Solutions- What’s Your Problem: “It’s an honour to create communication for an iconic brand, which has a deeper purpose to exist. Tanishq has not just been crafting jewellery but building the lives of Karigars, communities, future of destitute women, school and, a sustainable future too. So when we got the opportunity to bring alive everything this brand does, we went about it the classical way – actually visiting the factories and townships, speaking to the Karigars, employees, the school-going children of their workers, meeting & listening to the women they had empowered through their NGOs, witnessing their initiatives implemented for recycling water and using renewable energy, trying to understand the magnitude of what the brand did other than just make jewellery. We then realised what the brand meant when they said every piece of jewellery was ‘Truly Blessed’…and the creative wrote themselves.”
