    Haresh Nayak, Managing Director, Posterscope Group India

    1. Name of the Campaign

    Nescafe Cold Coffee Campaign

     

    2. The Brief

    The Task was to give Nescafe outdoor a new and fresh look for the summers keeping in mind the existing Cold Coffee TVC on air.

     

    3. The thought process behind the creative

    With Deepika Padukone as brand ambassador of Nescafe the outdoor campaign was an attempt to highlight the COLD aspect of Nescafe. The creative were fresh and bright blue in color connoting Cold. It highlights Deepika Padukone with an appetizing glass of cold coffee with a clear cut message “Enjoy Nescafe Cold Coffee”. The idea was also to link it with our existing Nescafe cold coffee TVC that was on air in which Deepika does a jig and shakes it and makes her cold coffee.

     

    4. Media vehicles chosen

    Outdoor

     

    5. Key issues kept in mind while executing the ad

    The messaging had to be very direct. The whole layout should give a cold effect. It should be on the lines of the existing Nescafe TVC.

     

    6. Does the treatment do justice to the brief?

    Yes, it does

     

    7. What according to you is the differentiating factor about the ad?

    The messaging was very direct so one glance would make the viewer recall the Nescafe TVC and also it would work in isolation if he has not seen it.

     

    8. Market and client feedback

    Nestle was quiet happy with the outdoors as they were eyecatchy and the messaging was very direct.

  • For Cheil the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Y Duos was an ideal platform to carry forward the DNA of Galaxy Y and at the same time display the benefit of a Dual SIM Android phone

    New Samsung TVC from Cheil takes ‘Y’ smart to next level

    By A Correspondent

     

    Cheil’s latest television commercial promoting the Galaxy Y DUOS is an extension of the earlier campaign that drove preference for the Samsung Galaxy Y Smartphones and set the pace for Gen Y to make a shift from feature to smart phones.

     

    Once again Samsung has created a buzz in the market by launching the Dual SIM Android phone – Galaxy Y Duos (GT-S6102), a touch-screen dual-SIM Smartphone. It has 3.14″ screen with QVGA resolution and an 832 MHz processor.

     

    For Cheil the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Y Duos was an ideal platform to carry forward the DNA of Galaxy Y and at the same time display the benefit of a Dual SIM Android phone.

     

    Speaking about this new commercial for the Galaxy Y series, Alok Agrawal, COO, Cheil Worldwide SW Asia said,  “Galaxy Y is a great franchise which we’ve built by riding on an insight where we have divided the world of tech into the have and have nots. Smartphones is the way forward in the mobile category and the market is in an exciting phase. This is the second campaign from Galaxy Y and we are looking ahead to more exciting work in this space.”

     

    Cheil’s communication clearly shows the protagonist with Samsung Galaxy Y Duos demarcating the world between the have and the have nots and the need to be smart and have a smart phone in life.

     

    The new TVC created for Samsung ‘s new smartphone is set in a cafe showing a young girl with the new Galaxy Y Duos putting an irritating loud mouthed character in his place. As before, the communication ends with the antagonists being teased with a simple question “Dual SIM hai aur samsrtphone bhi, lekin aap ke pass nahin hai…Uncle?”.

     

    India’s mobile phone market is witnessing exponential growth and the smartphone market has gained traction with every mobile handset manufacturer offering smartphones at various price points and service providers providing lucrative data plans to entice the consumer to use email, apps etc on their phones.

     

    In this growth story, Samsung mobile has emerged as the No. 1 Smartphone brand inIndia. Samsung’s positioning is no surprise as it understands the consumer and develops smartphones to cater to the needs of all types of users. In 2011, the Galaxy Y series were launched though a successful campaign of TVCs that clearly focused on the youth of today- confident and courageous to take up challenges and solve them in their own unique ways.

     

    This TVC is part of the line up of an exciting range of products where Cheil Worldwide is actively involved in building communication across 360-degree consumer touch points, that offer a high degree of excitement and creating buzz for the brand.

  • To leverage this association, GCMMF has created a TVC which shows a girl made of milk performing the sports which are part of Olympics

    Amul to sponsor India at London Olympics

    By A Correspondent

     

    The year 2011 saw Amul sponsoring theNetherlandscricket team in the ICC Cricket World Cup and Switzerland-headquartered Sauber F1 team at the inaugural Indian Grand Prix. In 2012,Asia’s largest milk brand will now be sponsoring the Indian contingent at the London 2012 Olympic Games.

     

    Mr. RS Sodhi, Managing Director GCMMF said: “Amul is committed to strengthening the Olympic movement in India and encourage young generation from all corners of the country to take up Olympic sports.”

     

    Explaining the rationale of this association, he said that milk is nature’s original energy drink and plays a pivotal role in building the physical and mental strength of the athletes. Nutritious dairy diet is an important part in the diets of athletes around the world. India is the largest producer of milk in the world and Amul is not only India’s but Asia’s largest milk brand.

     

    To leverage this association, GCMMF has created a TVC which shows a girl made of milk performing the sports which are part of Olympics. Liquid simulation was extensively used for generating realistic animation of milk to form the body shape and movements of the girl.

     

    “How many people are aware that milk is actually the world’s original energy drink…. completely natural and loaded with nutrients. The commercial effectively communicates that, while making the connection between Amul and Olympics,” said Nitin Karkare, Chief Operating Officer, Mumbai, Draftfcb Ulka.

     

    The TVC is scripted by Haresh Moorjani, Group Creative Director, Draftfcb Ulka. Mr Moorjani said: “As the official sponsor of the Indian team for the 2012 Olympics, Amul’s commitment to health is best defined by its signature product – milk. The film demonstrates the potency of the world’s original energy drink by its lusciousness as it transforms into the ‘milk girl’ making milk magical and appetizing for both, kids as well as adults.”

     

    The new campaign will be aired on more than 50 television channels. It has already started getting very good feedback in social media.

     

    Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation is India’s largest food products marketing organization. It procures 4 billion litres of milk annually from 3 million milk producers in more than 16,000 villages, twice a day, and processes and markets its product range comprising butter, cheese, ice cream, fresh milk, yoghurt, milk powders, UHT milk, flavoured milk, ghee, paneer etc in 3000 cities and towns of India and 40 countries around the world.

  • This is the first instance of a celebrity endorsement in the eclairs category and also Ms Kapoor's first brand endorsement in the confectionary category

    Perfetti signs on Kareena Kapoor as brand ambassador for Alpenliebe 2 Choco Eclairs

    By A Correspondent

     

    Perfetti Van Melle India (PVMI), the leading confectionery giant, has signed on Kareena Kapoor as brand ambassador for its all new Alpenliebe 2 Choco Eclairs brand. Ms Kapoor will feature in the launch TVC of Alpenliebe 2 Choco Eclairs and also in all mobile and internet campaigns of the brand. This is the first instance of a celebrity endorsement in the eclairs category and also Ms Kapoor’s first brand endorsement in the confectionary category.

     

    Commenting on Ms Kapoor’s association with the brand, Mr. Nikhil Sharma, Director Marketing, Perfetti Van Melle India , said: “Today’s youth immediately identify Kareena Kapoor as a style icon who has established herself through her work in Bollywood. When it came to selecting the right brand ambassador for Alpenlibe 2 Choco Eclairs, Kareena was a unanimous choice. She is an irresistible mix of beauty, elegance and style. She fits perfectly with our product which promises consumers a great indulgent experience.”

     

    Commenting on her endorsement, Kareena Kapoor said: “I am very proud to be associated with PVMI, which is one of India ‘s leading FMCG companies, known for their innovative products and creative advertising. Alpenliebe is one of India ‘s most loved brands and this innovative product under Alpenliebe has given me the opportunity to work on an exciting new campaign.”

     

    The brief to McCann Erickson, PVMI’s partner creative agency was to create a clutter breaking TVC which stays true to the product promise of a rich, magical and indulgent experience. The new TVC conceptualized by Mr. Prasoon Joshi, Executive Chairman and CEO, McCann Erickson Worldwide India , was made with an objective of introducing viewers to a magical world where a princess gets swept off her feet by the most unlikely of characters. Commenting on the script, Mr Joshi said: “We wanted to use Kareena in a unique way and we were happy to stumble upon an idea which has immense charm and I am sure will be loved by the consumers.”

     

    The TVC shot by ad film maker, Ravi Udyawar, involved a shoot at Mumbai’s Reliance studios followed by a complex post production process at animation studios inPolandandBlack Magic,Singapore. “This TVC has been one of my most challenging assignments. We shot live with Kareena and an actor, together to get the interaction and dance movements correct, we then replaced the actor with the bear, which was created on CGI. Getting the dance sequence between Kareena and the Bear required complex animation techniques. The facial expressions were motion captured and applied on to CG bear to look more authentic. The toughest part was creating the bear which is very difficult due to its fur body. Shooting with Kareena was a great experience, due to her understanding of the idea, flawless acting and timing. The music composed by Mikey McCleary adds great value and fits in perfectly with the overall look of the film while staying true to the naughty mood of the original song,” said Ravi Udyawar.

     

    Perfetti Van Melle India Pvt. Ltd. (PVMI) is a name to reckon with in the India n confectionery industry and is a renowned manufacturer, distributor and marketer of several high quality products. With close to a 30 per cent market share, it is one of the leading players in the organized confectionery business in India today.

As a marketer, PVMI has always been known for its iconic, interesting and entertaining advertising.

    It was the opportune time for the group to highlight the brand’s promise of ‘Andar se solid’ in an interesting, engaging and visually arresting manner to the consumers.

     

    Insight

    While we may not realize it, the wall enjoys a special place in our lives. We all have had our share of ‘wall moments’… be it a young girl, leaning against a wall, dreamily reading a love letter; a father measuring his child’s height on the wall; a young man putting up a Rocky poster on the wall and so on.

     

    The Execution

    While the TVC comprises of various engaging, nostalgic wall moments in all of our lives, the difference comes through in the execution – in the manner in which these sequences flow seamlessly from one through the other.

     

    Right from the start of the film where a man welcomes us into a home, the treatment resembles a journey where one is being guided through from one moment to another as we move through the home.

     

    The TVC is also being supported by Print and Outdoor, along with Cinema as well.

     

    “We knew we’d hit upon a strong, resonating idea with ‘wall moments’. It was then only a matter of crafting it. The brief was opened up to the office and people were asked to dig into their own lives and pen down their wall moments. We finally picked up the best from the pool,” said Vandana Katoch, Creative Director, DDB Mudra,Delhi.

  • The ad effortlessly communicate that Google Chrome can make you prosper in your line of activity.

    Debrief: Google Chrome: Real marries virtual

    By Anil Thakraney

     

    Excellent advert from Google Chrome. Taking their global idea forward, which is ‘The web is what you make of it’, they have Indianized the concept quite wonderfully. It’s about explaining to a layman how easy it is to expand your business by creating your own website.

     

    The TVC features an artist from Tanjore (Tamil Nadu). His miniature paintings aren’t selling much, and the man looks pretty disillusioned. He then creates a website for his work, and soon his fame spreads far and wide and he turns into a flourishing entrepreneur.

     

    But the magic lies in the execution of the commercial, it’s a combination of the real and the virtual, and it’s difficult to describe it. Watch the TVC.

     

    [youtube width=”400″ height=”200″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZYIBQqRodA[/youtube]

    Now here’s a commercial where everything comes right. The idea, the direction, the editing, the setting, the casting, the music score… all come together literally like a work of art, and effortlessly communicate that Google Chrome can make you prosper in your line of activity. It’s actually a very basic thought, but the fabulous execution takes it to another level.

     

    Also, it must be said, this is a risky storyboard. Things could easily have gone horribly wrong with a mediocre treatment. Full marks to Google Chrome and their ad agency for taking that risk. It’s paid off.

     

    Rating: (On a scale of 1 to 5): 4. Art and science come together seamlessly to create magic.

     

  • The idea rides the public anger on the streets of Mumbai, and the script does not shy away from taking up provocative issues

    Debrief: Mumbai Mirror TVC connects with Mumbaikars

    By Anil Thakraney

     

    Mumbai Mirror has positioned itself as the voice of the city. And the new TVC uses a simple but powerful creative device to communicate the positioning: a hand held microphone.

     

    In the ad, angry Mumbaikars express their respective grievances on the streets using this device. An author protests about his books being burnt. A mom complains about adulterated milk. Another dude stops a neta motorcade to vent his anger against the ugly political hoardings and banners that keep sprouting up. Quite obviously, the microphone represents the newspaper.

     

    I like this approach, and in particular, the use of a microphone. The device can become a powerful visual metaphor for the brand in the long term. The idea rides the public anger on the streets of Mumbai, and the script does not shy away from taking up provocative issues. Also, the stories are real, these have been published in the newspaper, so empathy and credibility would be strong. The people featured are aam aadmis and aurats of the city, and that’s the way it should be for a mass brand.

     

    All in all, a commendable effort. Should strike a chord with frustrated Mumbaikars.

     

    Rating: (On a scale of 1 to 5): 4. Powerful and very relevant advertising.

  • Lavie releases its first ever TV campaign, capturing the essence of the brand, ‘Handbags for the Many Moods of Women’.

    First TVC from Lavie

    By A Correspondent

    [youtube width=”350″ height=”250″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI7X1r-42OE[/youtube]

    Conceptualized by TBWA, the new television commercial of Lavie featuring the brand ambassador Kareena Kapoor, hits across various  TV channels this season. The new television commercial for Lavie captures the dilemma of the sales person who attends to innumerable women, with varied demands. It also highlights the perplexity of a woman who has a picture of requirement in mind but is unable to convey the same and is trying various options to come to a conclusion of what to shop for. The new television commercial for Lavie is created based on the notion of women with various moods.

     

    Talking about the insight behind the creative idea, Mr Rahul Sengupta, National Creative Director, TBWA India states, “Probably the most complex machine is the mind of a woman. It means one thing while it says something else. The statement is truest of all when a woman is shopping. If you have ever been a brother, suitor, husband or salesman, you will know. Watching this can be bemusing and amusing at the same time.”

     

    The TVC captures the essence of Lavie which has bags for all the moods of today’s jet-setting women.

     

    Mr Sandeep Goenka, Business Head of Lavie says, “Kareena very well resembles the personality of Lavie and the association with her is synonymous with our brand. And with this ad, Kareena captures the essence of shopping, for every woman with her proficient expressions. The Lavie collection offers stylish and accessible handbags for today’s jet-setting women which are now readily available all over India.”

     

    Talking about the objective of the campaign, Mr Nirmalya Sen, Managing Director, TBWA India says, “We aren’t the only brand that claims it has a wide range of styles and colours. But then, that truly is the competitive advantage of this brand – the widest range of colours, styles, genres of handbags. The challenge was to communicate range in a manner that is distinctive and endears the brand to its audience – confident, young, style-conscious women.”
