  • Vicco gets Alia Bhatt as ambassador

    By A Correspondent

     

    In a bid to overhaul its brand image, Vicco has signed on Alia Bhatt as its brand ambassador. Alia will be representing the brand’s headliner product, Vicco Vajradanti and its variants. The brand has been a heavy advertiser on cinema screens but now with Alia on board, the ads will be seen across media platforms.

     

    Talking about roping in Alia for the campaign, Sanjeev Pendharkar, Director, Vicco said:” Vicco Vajradanti has been a household name since 1952. It has a large base of loyal users. The marketing task was to appeal to the younger generation, the millennials and also make a pure ayurvedic paste a part of their daily regime hence helping them with good oral health and who better than Alia as a brand ambassador to do this.”

     

    Added Virendra Saini, Business Head Mumbai, Triton Communications: “An opportunity to work on Vicco Vajradanti is a dream come true and a privilege. Years have passed but this brand has never compromised on its quality of being pure Ayurveda and in a time when so much of chemicals are being consumed which are harmful for the body, the millennials of today need to connect with this trusted ayurvedic brand for their oral hygiene. The idea was to build on the famous brand jingle by modernising it and making it stick with the youth of today.”

  • Wadhwa promotes upcoming realty project

    By A Correspondent

     

    The Wadhwa Group has unveiled a new campaign for its upcoming integrated Township Living project, Wadhwa Wise City @Panvel.

     

    Said Priyansh Kapoor – Head Sales, Marketing& CRM at Wadhwa Group: “This project is very important to us. We are known for our strong focus on planning and design aesthetics, and the same values form key pillars of this township. Located in emerging hotspot of Panvel, it offers quality affordable homes to ease the travails of first-time home buyers, for whom owning a quality home is a distant dream. So the communication challenge was to position Wadhwa Wise City as a massive and integrated project that delivers tremendous value with an incredible lifestyle, redefining what a budget home includes.”

     

    Added Virendra Saini, Executive Director – Mumbai, Triton Communications: “It’s been a privilege working closely with the Wadhwa marketing team on a project as prestigious as Wadhwa Wise City. There are multiple housing projects mushrooming in Panvel that claim to be affordable but demand over-the-roof prices. The resulting campaign redefines advertising for value homes. It dispels the myth that communication for affordable housing needs to look ‘less premium’ and shout for attention with large fonts and loud colors.”

  • ‘Salute toh banta Hai’ affirms Officer’s Choice’s in new campaign

    By A Correspondent

     

    Officer’s Choice Blue has launched a new ad campaign ‘Salute to Banta Hai’- communication that repurposes its long-standing platform of the ‘Good Samaritan’. The four TVCs narrate testing situations, in slices of everyday life, and defines their actions to make for a better and caring world. The communication conveys the ‘good’ in actions of giving way to an ambulance over a VIP vehicle, respecting the lowest ranks in office, concern to assuage apprehension of a woman traveling alone, and bringing help to people in need.

     

    The narratives create a strong people connect – with positive actions that are spontaneous and relatable- embedded in the belief, and keeping the faith in doing ‘good’. The TVCs end with the tagline ‘Salute toh Banta Hai’ which acknowledge the contribution of these everyday heroes.

     

    The campaign has been conceptualized by Metaphor, A Triton Communication subsidiary and directed by Rajesh Saathi from Keroscene Films.

     

    Said Ullas Chopra, National Creative Director, Triton Communications: “This has been quite an interesting campaign. The challenge was to present righteousness in a manner which is not preachy or confrontational. We decided to take an approach that applauds people for their efforts to do the right thing and be good samaritans. Once in a while we get an opportunity to work on communication that warms people’s hearts and remind people of their better side. The most satisfying thing for us has been how all elements came together – the storytelling, the music and the lyrics. We set out to touch hearts and I think we managed to do that very well. “

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Ahmed Rahimtoola, VP, Marketing, Allied Blenders and Distillers, said, “The process, starting from segmentation research to effectively delivering on new communication, has been incredible. Officer’s Choice franchise is the largest in its category globally, and it is imperative that we deliver ahead of expectation. We take pride in the aesthetic communication which very strongly conveys the brand’s long–standing view on righteousness, and the need to bring about positive change.”
