MUMBAI: Godfrey Phillips India’s pan masala brand, Pan Vilas has launched an OOH campaign in tandem with radio and television spots. The campaign has been planned and executed by DDB MudraMax team and was launched across key markets of Gujarat UP, MP and Delhi.
The campaign aims to build upon the brand imagery of Pan Vilas and also communicate the message of the new price point of the product. The key challenge faced by DDB MudraMax in creating the campaign was to craft the communication that is eye-catching, helps maximise awareness levels and also add to the brand recall value.

The creative that is endorsed by Manoj Bajpai is restricted to sites that have large display area and are situated in high footfall regions with heavy traffic coverage so as to maximise viewership numbers. The campaign will be run across cities for 45-60 days.
Godfrey Philips general manager marketing Arnab Ghosh said, “The OOH campaign was mounted to build salience for Pan Vilas across key markets and to create a buzz prior to the intended price change on the brand. Initial indication on the acceptance of the new price point in most markets is positive. The entire 360 degree approach of which the OOH campaign was a key element seems to have worked in achieving the intended results, thus leaving the brand in a better state of health. DDB MudraMax as a partner has been instrumental in working to a brief of providing the most optimised OOH plan for the key markets, which in the current situation of budgetary constraints was the need of the hour.”
DDB MudraMax , senior vice president Subhashish Sarkar added, “The Pan Vilas campaign has been taking steady and sure strides across a variety of media in recent years, to entrench itself as the most recalled in category with clear communication, memorable brand endorsement and strategic message locations. For OOH, DDB MudraMax has strived to work closely with the brand team in delivering mileage in tandem with the rest of the brand delivery in all markets. Selection of media, astute buying and a slew of eye-catching innovations gain the Pan Vilas campaign a foothold above budgetary allowances. We take pride and pleasure in our association with the brand.”
DDB Mudramax deputy general manager Jagriti Kohli further said, “Good work always happens when the client and agency work as partners, with a clear focus to turn the brand challenge into an advantage. Pan Vilas OOH campaign is testimony to this fact. The campaign in all cities stands out for its outdoor friendly creative as well as the large format, selected media. A thorough understanding of markets, strategic and relevant OOH media planning backed by flawless execution by a team which owns the brand completely has made the Pan Vilas campaign a visual delight across markets.”
