    Parle G releases its latest campaign celebrating Friendship Day

    Parle G has released its latest campaign celebrating Friendship Day (Aug 4). The film is created by Thought Blurb Communications and released on the social media and video distribution platforms like YouTube on the eve of World Friendship Day.

    Said Mayank Shah, Vice President at Parle Products Pvt. Ltd: “The Parle-G brand fulfils many roles in our everyday lives just a good friend does. Friendship Day is a great platform to connect with the youth and send out a heartwarming message without being preachy. The film is made in the style of popular ‘buddy’ movies of today. The animated banter and college jargon work well for it. It has a universally appealing message with an informal approach, that adds a welcome layer to the brand’s image.”

    Added Vinod Kunj, Chief Creative Officer at Thought Blurb Communications: “Venerable brands like Parle-G build over time. An over-arching brand idea like this helps to stretch its legs and grow. This is yet another iteration of an idea that feeds into the bigger brand story.”

    Parle-G latest TV campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    Parle Products has released its latest TV Campaign for its flagship product – Parle G biscuits. The campaign was executed by the advertising agency Thought Blurb..

     

    Said Mayank Shah, Vice President – Marketing at Parle: “The core values expressed in this campaign are quite strong. Young children around the world have an effortless capacity for empathy, which gives them a facility for goodness born out of innocence. We equate this to a higher intelligence relatable to genius. We needed to see if the idea had legs to travel through different formats and media.”

     

    Added Vinod Kunj, Founder and CCO, Thought Blurb Communications: “We immediately realised that we needed to throw out all our pre-conceived notions of scripting. The short format gave us little time to establish relationships and situations. The establishing shots would have to portray the conflict and solutions presented simply. Nothing overly convoluted would work.”

    Thought Blurb launches brand Playseum

    By Our Staff

     

    Thought Blurb Communications, a Mumbai-headquartered, advertising and design agency, reports completion of branding and designing activities for the launch of Playseum, a new age kids play area, launched in Mumbai.

     

    Said Meera Sheth, Founder of Playseum: “Branding and designing in today’s times plays an highly important role in any business and specially in anything where kids are involved. Kids love colours and visuals which helps calm them and bring our joy and fun. With Thought Blurb onboard we were able to find a way to build the right strategy. Children can learn from a very early age. But structured education fails to provide this. I have always involved myself with my children’s playtime. You learn a lot by being with them and observing them pick up basic knowledge and skills, as long as they are all part of playtime.”

     

    Added Vinod Kunj, Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Thought Blurb: “This is a unique brand in a unique space. There were really no precedents or examples leading us where we wanted to go. At Thought Blurb, we have made it a point to use our experience in launching new brands into the market to extensive use on this one. We had to establish guide-rails for the entire team to follow as we went about the task. We are proud to have been part of this brand and happy for another successful launch by our agency.”

    Parle Krackjack launches new TVC

    By Our Staff

     

    Parle Products, biscuit brand, has released its latest campaign for KrackJack. The three-film campaign created by Thought Blurb Communications tells stories of conundrums that are solved in hilarious ways by the two protagonists, Krack (played by Dharmesh Yelande) and Jack (played by Raghav Juyal).

     

    The over-the-top style of humour follows a legacy that was started in the 90s with Boman Irani and Vijay Patkar playing the titular roles. The torch then passed on to Swapnil Joshi and Gaurav Gera in the noughties, and after a decade, Krackjack has now found renewed vigour with Raghav Juyal and Dharmesh Yelande.

     

    Mayank Shah, Senior Category Head, Parle Products, speaks about Krackjack and the direction it has taken over the years. “Krackjack is the first biscuit in India to find that magical spot in the consumer’s palate with a flavour that tickles sweet and salty taste buds. When the flavour is so out-of-the ordinary, how can its communication not be unusual? Over the years, the characters Krack & Jack, have endeared themselves to audiences across the country. Every new generation resonates with these sweet and salty characters. Dharmesh and Raghav are new age celebrities with a wide fan following among the youth. More importantly, we chose them because we felt they have a spontaneity in their repartee, which is key to the brand’s communication.”

     

    Vinod Kunj, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Thought Blurb Communications echoes the sentiment and explains the challenges: “It’s a big challenge to work on a legacy brand like Krackjack with a high decibel legacy communication. When we got the brief we were clear that we have to carry forward the torch to the next generation of audiences across India. Not only do we have to appeal to a wide section of audiences across socio economic segments, we also had to touch their funny bone. Evidenced by the viewer responses we have received, the execution seems to have hit the bull’s eye. The dash of rollicking humour coating the films make them entirely enjoyable.”

     

    Joining in with her perspective on the creative execution, Renu Somani, National Creative Director, Thought Blurb adds, “We started off with a product that is sweet but also has salty overtones. That kind of dictated the tone and tenor of the campaign. In one of the brain storming sessions when the strategy team came up with the idea of ‘contrarian views working towards a common goal’ we knew we had our campaign. This in turn finds resonance in the claim – ‘sweet aur salty saath jab aaye, baat ban jaaye’. The fun part was working with the film crew to get Dharmesh and Raghav to work in tandem to translate this strange combination of diametrically opposite views. We wanted the viewers to have fun, and I think that has come out quite well.”

    Parle-G launches three-film campaign to enhance brand

    By Our Staff

     

    Parle-G biscuits launches a campaign to enhance the equity of the brand. The three-film campaign created by Thought Blurb Communications tells simple stories that show the protagonist child as empathetic, clever and decisive. All the qualities that come together to create the Parle-G ‘Genius’.

     

    Mayank Shah, Senior Category Head, Parle Products speaks about the brand’s core values and the need for the messaging to be consistent over time. “Parle-G has always spoken from the child’s perspective. A child creates social connections with siblings, family, friends and others they care about in very different ways. Empathy comes easily at an early age and in uncomplicated terms. Before they are lost to age and practicality, an understanding of others can be rather sincere and honest. Taking this into account, the messaging has to acknowledge the child’s feelings and give it voice.”

     

    Vinod Kunj, CCO & Managing Director at Thought Blurb added: “Following a campaign thought over years and growing the brand with it requires a firm hold on the steering wheel. From our previous outings on the brand in 2018 & 2020, we had to find a growth path. That was the challenge.  We knew that we needed to stay timeless with our thinking, while keeping the overall brand thought in our sights. We know the stories had to resonate with audience across age groups and geographies, since this being broadcast in 13 languages. One of the endearing aspects of the campaign is the song that paraphrases the idea, and to see it shining through in every language is rewarding.”

    Parle Products woos Bengal with new TVC

    By Our Staff

     

    Parle Products, manufacturers of biscuits and confectionery, has launched new campaign for its Parle Marie. The campaign has been conceptualized and executed by Thought Blurb Communications builds on the Parle Marie brand’s foundations in the Bengal market.

     

    The three-film campaign addresses a broad demographic of young and old, men and women and are all represented in the films. It spans the width of the populace which has one thing in common. Held by the same social thread that ties and binds all ages and segments of society.

     

    Said Mayank Shah, Senior Category Head, Parle Products: “In a nation as vast as ours, each region has its own voice, values and ideals. A generic message addressed to the entire country may not always take root. Speaking to each consumer in his individual language, in idioms he understands and in surroundings that he is familiar with, is a far better option. The new campaign is in line with Parle’s belief in regional marketing, speaking in the voice of the local population, using subjects that are deeply relatable, and in a tone that is immediately understood.”

     

    Added Vinod Kunj, Chief Creative Officer and MD at Thought Blurb Communications: “The strategy is as elegant as it is simple. Insert the brand into the social fabric and become part of the consumer’s conversation. Then you can accompany him through his life’s journey with occasional brand reinforcement. Too often, we have to confront the consumer and try to change his preferred brand and habit. But in this case, we are simply building another storey over a home with a strong foundation.”

    Parle Magix rolls out new TVC

    By Our Staff

     

    Parle Magix cream biscuit brand from Parle Products has rolled out three TV commercials. The campaign has been created by Thought Blurb Communications.

     

    Said Mayank Shah, Senior Category Head, Parle Products: “A child’s imagination does not follow a pattern that is logical. They give a comical and bizarre twist to everyday situations that are often invisible to adults. This is the insight on which this campaign is built. It seeks to be relatable to a child and to entertain them.”,

     

    Added Vinod Kunj, Partner & CCO, thought blurb Communications: “The client’s brief was to establish a connection with children. So we decided not to tell them how good our product is, just tell them that their world is fantastic. The creative team took a hike into the world of children and came back with this really whacky campaign.”
