  • Vi rolls out new campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    Vi or Vodafone Idea Limited telecom operator has launched a new campaign to reinforce its commitment to provide superior network experience to its customers. The high visibility 360-degree campaign, themed ‘Best ho raha hai aur bhi Behtar’, the #BestIsGettingBetter has been conceptualized by Ogilvy and will be seen across diverse media including TV, OOH and Digital.

     

    The campaign comprises of a series of 3 TVCs which showcase the continuous effort of network engineers in providing the customers the best network experience with Vi GIGAnet- India’s fastest 4G network. Vi has recently emerged as the Fastest 4G Network in India, winning Opensignal’s Fastest Download & Upload Speed Experience Awards.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Avneesh Khosla, Chief Marketing Officer, Vi said: “Vi has consistently topped the network quality parameters and speed rating charts of several independent network testing agencies. The latest validation from Opensignal is an endorsement of our efforts to constantly work towards enhancing customer experience through superior network performance. Our new campaign is a celebration of the critical role of our Network Heroes who tirelessly work in all conditions, to improve network performance on a continuous basis, helping Vi users to do more and thrive in the digital world.”

     

    Added Rohit Dubey, ECD, Ogilvy Mumbai: “Announcers are a balancing act, a sweet spot between chest thumping and humility, with a bit of ‘ok…so what?’ closure. And that’s what the crafting challenge was when Vi achieved “India’s fastest 4G” claim. I was watching an athlete’s Insta-feed and noticed the gap between his Olympic gold and the next practice session. There was a seed of thought – after achieving something, even the ‘best’ take a bit of rest, and bask in the moment’s glory. What if our network engineers are cut from a different cloth? And they don’t? Taking a leap from there, we crafted these moments between our Vi network engineers, as they go about making India’s fastest 4G, even better.”

  • Vodafone urges #YourWordsNotForwards this Diwali

    By A Correspondent

     

    With Diwali round the corner, Vodafone has launched a campaign encouraging people to share #YourWordsNotForwards this Diwali with a personalised greeting to their loved ones.

     

    Commenting on the campaign, Kavita Nair, Chief Digital Transformation and Brand Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited, said: “In today’s automated world, relationships have moved from being warm and personal to being distant and impersonal. As a brand that believes in genuine conversations, we want to remind our consumers the importance of personal messages and calls and the love and warmth it conveys. Through this #YourWordsNotForwards campaign, we are encouraging everyone to take out time to wish their loved ones with a personal touch and send original greetings instead of forwards. We hope that people will take a lead and connect this Diwali in the real sense.”

     

    Added Kiran Antony, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy South and Team Vodafone, Ogilvy: “Wishing over a period of time has become impersonal. We are all guilty of it. What started off as calls to friends and family, came down to messages and is now only about forwarding wishes created by someone else. We wanted consumers to realise that every wish can also have a personal touch added to it. A sweet visual for this was to get a grandmother to make an effort while wishing her grandson and reminding everyone to share #YourWordsNotForwards.”

    Commenting on the new campaign, Sashi Shankar, Chief Marketing Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited, said: “We are making significant investments in improving the network as the data uptake in India creates some global benchmarks. Vodafone SuperNet 4G – The Data Strong Network will be strengthened as towers get added every hour, especially at crowded places.

    By A Correspondent

     

    Addressing the growing phenomenon of the need for validation on social media, Idea has launched a campaign titled #MeriRealLife, encouraging people to drop the pressure of chasing and sharing perfection on social media, and instead, share real, unfiltered stories using Idea 4G.
