  • Himalaya Rolls Out #Itstartswithgums campaign on Gum Health Day

    Himalaya Rolls Out #Itstartswithgums campaign on Gum Health Day

    Mumbai: Himalaya Wellness Company, India’s leading wellness brand, today announced the launch of its latest campaign, #ItStartsWithGums, focused on raising awareness about the importance of gum health in India. Led by three engaging and informative digital films, the campaign aims to highlight the significance of maintaining healthy gums for overall oral wellness.

    #ItStartsWithGums campaign aims to educate consumers about the often-overlooked role of gums in maintaining good oral hygiene. Many Indians experiencing symptoms like bad breath, bleeding gums while brushing, or pain while eating, are often unaware that the root cause of these problems is unhealthy gums. The #ItStartsWithGums campaign utilizes a multi-channel approach including a series of digital films that have gone live on YouTube and Facebook, engaging digital displays at Bengaluru airport, an extensive influencer activation led by dentists and health experts, and free oral care check-up camps organised at corporates and residential societies. These efforts were designed to celebrate Gum Health Day and educate the public about the importance of proactive gum care including the use of specialized products.

    With a subtle touch of humour, all the films convey a serious message about gum health. In each video, a person experiences a common oral issue like pain while eating, bleeding while brushing, and bad breath. An expert intervenes, revealing the true culprit – unhealthy gums – emphasizing the importance of good gum care for overall oral well-being. Tied to Gum Health Day, the videos promote Himalaya Ayurveda Gum Care Toothpaste as the expert solution for better gums.

    Commenting on the campaign, Himalaya Wellness marketing director for personal care & hygiene Ragini Hariharan said, “At Himalaya, we believe that good oral health begins with healthy gums. The #ItStartsWithGums campaign reinforces Himalaya’s commitment to promoting holistic oral health, with a particular focus on the often-neglected aspect of gum care. By educating and engaging with our consumers, we aim to create a culture of holistic oral care through Ayurvedic wisdom, ensuring brighter smiles and better overall well-being for everyone.”

    According to the Indian Dental Association, a staggering 95 per cent of Indians suffer from some form of gum disease. However, many of them may not be aware of the issues. This campaign aims to address this gap in awareness by highlighting how neglecting gum health can lead to numerous oral problems while also emphasizing the importance of early detection and taking action before issues become more severe and potentially irreversible.

    Karan Arora, category manager for oral care for Himalaya Wellness Company, added “To specifically work on making the gums healthy, we have developed the Himalaya Ayurveda Gum Care Toothpaste. It is a holistic Ayurvedic formulation, with 13 time-tested herbs, based on the traditional and trusted practices of Ayurveda Danta Swasthya and modern science to remove plaque, fight germs in the gums and also tighten them.”

    Talking about the #ItStartsWithGums campaign, Social Panga co-founder  Himanshu Arora said, “We are excited to partner with Himalaya Oral Care on this campaign. Our goal is to leverage digital platforms to effectively spread the message about the importance of gum health. We aim to encourage positive oral care habits by helping individuals understand the critical role gums play in overall well-being.”

    By shedding light on the root cause of many oral problems and empowering people with the knowledge and resources for early detection of gum problems, Himalaya’s #ItStartsWithGums campaign has the potential to significantly improve the oral health landscape in India through holistic Ayurvedic solutions.

  • Sleepwell spotlights gender sleep gap with #SleepwellMoms

    Sleepwell spotlights gender sleep gap with #SleepwellMoms

    Mumbai: Sleepwell, a mattress brand has created a special ode to moms who lose their sleep in the pursuit of caring for their child & family, but do it all with a smile on their face. The campaign titled #SleepwellMoms narrates the story of the unsung efforts of mothers and ignorance of their sacrifice and resilience.

    The campaign idea germinated from the findings of an Indian Sleep Disorders Association study that revealed that Indian mothers get one to two hours less sleep per night compared to their non-parent counterparts. This staggering statistic sheds light on the reality of sleep deprivation in our society and its impact on maternal well-being. It also takes a toll on their cognitive abilities where another research from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences found that sleep-deprived mothers experience a 20 per cent decrease in cognitive function.

    Sleepwell took to its social media platforms to spread awareness about these concerning statistics with thought-provoking creatives and questions to not just spread awareness but also question gender biases. Commenting on the campaign, Sheela Foam Pvt Ltd CEO Nilesh Mazumdar said “With #SleeplessMoms, we really urge everyone to take an empathetic look at the sleep deficit of mothers around us. With this campaign we aim to start conversations in families around the importance of sound sleep for everyone. Sleepwell aims to go beyond being the top mattress brand in India & help promote empathy for our near & dear ones.”

  • Mothers Against Vaping celebrates mother-child bond with special Mother’s Day campaign

    Mothers Against Vaping celebrates mother-child bond with special Mother’s Day campaign

    Mumbai: Mothers Against Vaping, a united front of concerned mothers combatting the escalating vaping crisis among our youth, on the occasion of Mother’s Day has launched a unique campaign. The campaign seeks to transform the customary act of giving gifts on Mother’s Day into a powerful pledge from children to their mothers – a promise to never touch new-age gateway devices like vapes and e-cigarettes.

    By taking this pledge, children are not only expressing their appreciation for their mothers but also safeguarding themselves against the dangers of addiction and associated health risks posed by these new-age devices.

    In the spirit of Mother’s Day, Mothers Against Vaping believes that the greatest gift a child can give to their mother is a commitment to prioritize their health and well-being by rejecting such harmful new-age addictive devices.  These devices come in various forms including vapes, e-cigarettes and ‘heat-not-burn’ pens and are loaded with harmful substances like nicotine, diacetyl which are linked to serious lung disease. These devices also include cancer-causing chemicals and heavy metals like nickel, tin and lead.

    Talking about the relevance of such a campaign, clinical psychologist and Happiness Studio founder Dr. Bhavna Barmi said, “These new-age devices come in attractive appearances and child-friendly flavours but are a serious threat as children once addicted to these gateway devices can be lured into experimenting with more harmful substances. We need more such innovative campaigns to spread awareness among children as well as parents to highlight the dangers of vaping.”

    “It is a mother’s right to safeguard the health of her children above all else and Mother’s Day is a beautiful occasion to highlight this aspect of a mother-child bond. By pledging to abstain from vaping, children are not only expressing their love for their mothers but also making a conscious and wise choice to prioritize their own health and well-being. Such choices set them on a path of happiness and a contended life, free from any addictive behaviours,” Dr. Barmi added.

    The week-long “Mother’s Day Pledge Campaign,” is already underway and will lead up to Mother’s Day on 12 May 2024. During the campaign, Mothers Against Vaping is encouraging all mothers to join the campaign and initiate conversations with their children about the dangers of vaping. By fostering open communication and setting positive examples, mothers can play a pivotal role in steering their children away from these harmful habits and towards healthier lifestyles.

    As part of the campaign initiative, mom influencers will be mobilizing their social media followers, particularly on platforms like Instagram, to spread the message of #MothersAgainstVaping. The goal is to create a long Instagram thread under the hashtag #MothersAgainstVaping, featuring more and more mothers to join the campaign against vaping and asking their children to stay healthy and stay away from these new-age devices forever.
