    Tata Coffee Grand, the coffee brand from the house of Tata Consumer Products, has released a festive film celebrating the various sounds that reflect the unique spirit of Pongal with the ‘Sounds of Tamil Nadu campaign’.  It celebrates the unique sounds of the harvest festivity this Pongal along with its ‘Shik Shik Shik’ campaign

     

    Talking about the film, Puneet Das, President – Packaged Beverages (India and South Asia), Tata Consumer Products said: “Our campaign of Tata Coffee Grand launched last year, synonymizes the word ‘Coffee’ with the sound i.e. Shik-Shik-Shik – which represents the sound heard when the Tata Coffee Grand jar or pack is shaken! We have gone a step ahead this year and have extended the ‘shik shik shik’ proposition to the sound of the Pongal festivities, to capture the excitement of the festival along with the emotions of drinking coffee. These festivities are not just reflected in the visuals but also in the unique sounds that reverberate throughout the harvest season. In highlighting this, we are happy to launch our new film which doubles up as a feast to the senses and has a distinct sound design that celebrates the festive taste of Tamil Nadu”.

     

    Commenting on the campaign idea, Sonali Khanna, Executive Director and Branch Head, Lowe Lintas South added: “Pongal is a festival that the people of Tamil Nadu hold very close to their hearts, resulting in a joyous tapestry of celebratory sights and sounds. What’s striking is that many of the authentic sounds of Pongal are expressed as triplets. This is exactly the same aural mnemonic we have used to bring our product USP to life: the ‘Shik Shik Shik’ of the packet representing the Tata Coffee Grand crystals. The wonderful interplay of musical triplets, the rich festive hues, and the catchy sound of the pack, all come together seamlessly. To create a film that is as aurally arresting as it is visually resplendent.”

    Tata Coffee Grand unveiled its recent campaign that aims to create a new language for coffee – Shik-Shik-Shik that evokes emotions and excitement amongst consumers. It is conceptualised by Lowe Lintas.

    Speaking about the campaign, says, Puneet Das, SVP – Marketing, Beverages – India, Tata Consumer Products: “We’ve been excited about the idea of the ‘sound of coffee’ for a while now. Through this campaign, we have built the proposition of ‘The sound made by our Tata Coffee Grand pack, which has big granules and decoction crystals that make a great cup of coffee’.  A simple and powerful narrative is linked to a simple action of shaking the pack, remembering that unique sound, replacing coffee with Shik-Shik-Shik when asking for it. We are hopeful that the disruptive unique sound of Shik-Shik-Shik will soon become an overarching synonymous word for coffee.”

     

    Added Sagar Kapoor, Chief Creative Officer – Lowe Lintas: “It’s always a great opportunity when your brand has a product differentiation. Leaping to the creative idea from the differentiator lands on a disruptive idea, more often than not. With Tata Coffee Grand we had the decoction crystals. Besides delivering a superior cup of coffee, these crystals also make a unique Shik-Shik-Shik sound when one shakes the pack. So great coffee was always known by its aroma, it will now be known with its sound. That led us to the idea of ‘Great coffee will now be known as Shik-Shik-Shik. Going ahead we will engage with the consumer in many ways with the ‘Shik-Shik-Shik device,”

    Tata Global Beverages has launched a new marketing campaign for the launch of Tata Coffee Grand, a new instant coffee mix. The company recently launched ‘Grand’ in a competitive environment, at a time when coffee consumption has started growing in non-southern markets in India.

     

    Keeping with a core theme of innovation and disruption (from the product and packaging to communication), the brand campaign includes a marketing mix consisting of:

    – A 360 degree virtual reality tour of Tata Coffee Plantations in South India – viewed on social media or on Google Cardboard via mobile

    – A series of disruptive web films that launch a mission to ‘kill bad coffee’

    – An edgy and disruptive television commercial

    – Digital activation across social media platforms

    – Media and PR integration and activations

     

    Says Sushant Dash, Regional President – India, Tata Global Beverages, “We are excited to launch Tata Coffee Grand at a time when coffee consumption is poised to grow significantly in the country. We are launching an innovative product and in keeping with this, we decided on a marketing mix that is different and disruptive. This is a refreshing take using compelling storytelling that speaks to both existing coffee drinkers, as well as young, curious prospective consumers who are looking for a new beverage of choice. With this campaign, TGBL looks to challenge the category codes in a way that is uniquely Tata Coffee Grand.”

     

    The new television commercial for this campaign is fun and quirky. It features The Granny dressed in a mix of traditional south Indian attire and western hip-hop apparel. With her sunglasses and bling, she takes on a bunch of youngsters in a style no less than that of a showstopper. In her signature style she raps about ‘coffee, the way it should be’. Conceptualized by Mullen Lintas, the campaign will be supported by an extensive social media plan and media integrations. The advertisement will be aired in Hindi, Tamil and other languages.

     

    Shriram Iyer, National Creative Director, Mullen Lintas said, “With the launch of a new product in one of the oldest categories in the country but one that’s just beginning to see a surge in growth, came along an opportunity to do something really unique and interesting. We’ve tried to break away from the monotony of conventional advertising on coffee by enlisting the help of a South Indian grandmother who’s anything but traditional. Decked in hip hop gear and bling, through an integrated 360 degree campaign, she teaches consumers on what it takes to make great coffee and to stop drinking what has now begin to pass for coffee, by rapping it.”
