    Smile Train, an NGO that provides corrective surgery for children with cleft lips, has been running a campaign for Cleft Awareness Month in July. The campaign is conceptualized and executed by Tonic Worldwide.

     

    Talking about the campaign, Mamta Carroll, Smile Train’s Senior Vice President and Regional Director for Asia said: “At Smile Train, we believe that no matter who you are or how you smile, your unique face deserves to be celebrated. As a cleft-focused organization, we work closely with cleft affected individuals as they navigate their journey from cleft to confidence. National Lipstick Day is just one such occasion to celebrate the courage of our cleft warrior women! We are delighted to partner with Tonic Worldwide to bring focus on the stigma around clefts with this unique and powerful campaign.”

     

    Added Josna Joseph , Creative Director – Tonic Worldwide: “Beauty, I believe, is absolutely personal.  Imagine thinking twice about wearing a fun, pop colour that you love! That’s not right.  You can’t find an image of a person with a cleft wearing a bright lip colour online. That’s not right! During the shoot, it took just one person (model) to wear a bright lip colour and that brought a smile to everyones’ face. From there on, it was all excitement, laughter and pouts. It’s pretty simple, it all starts with representation – which neither makes you too bold, nor too subtle – just normal. We’ve tried to take a small step. Hope it becomes a giant leap someday.”

    2. Consumers are not living in the present. Past and future escapes are how the consumers are dealing with the lockdown. There is 60 times higher viewership for DD during lockdown due to #oldshows which are indulging the consumers in nostalgia. And looking for motivational content for hopeful future

    3. HQ (Hygiene quotient) is top of mind with 108,579 conversations around it and 643 per cent increase in ‘how to wash hands’ searches. Post covid all brands will have to pass HQ test

Data science should be looked at as a big boon in times like these. Just tracking weekly numbers will be a mere waste of the data. Brands will have to go beyond using data just for performance metrics and seeing digital as just an extension medium. They will have to consciously invest in ‘actionable insights’ not just ‘data’.”

     

    Added Anjali Malthankar, National Strategy Director at Tonic: “Brands in the time of Covid need to prepare for the ‘Post Covid lockdown World’ and not just worry about how to engage topically. Lockdown has forced Indian consumers to leapfrog and embrace digital, brands need to be ready for this. Digital is a very measured medium, any marketer’s dream come true. The most important step to taking your brand digital is to first, take your consumer understanding digital!”
