  • JioCinema & MS Dhoni pad-up for an encore with TATA IPL 2024

    JioCinema & MS Dhoni pad-up for an encore with TATA IPL 2024

    Mumbai: As the TATA IPL frenzy hits a fever pitch ahead of the 2024 season, JioCinema launched its campaign for what promises to be yet another exciting edition. The campaign features three ad films, the first of which stars MS Dhoni in a double role. All three ad films spotlight the collective excitement of watching the TATA IPL on digital. The campaign is built on the insight that an increasing number of Indians are now opting to consume live sport on digital, including the TATA IPL which saw a record reach of 449 million last season on JioCinema.

    The film, conceptualised by The Script Room and produced by Early Man Films, casts MS Dhoni in a unique double role of a grandfather and his grandson. It portrays the tongue-in-cheek story of a grandson glued to his phone screen as a riveting TATA IPL match unfolds, while the grandfather, also deeply engrossed in watching the same match on his phone, starts experiencing discomfort in his chest. On their way to the hospital in the ambulance, the medical attendant too now is seen watching the game on his phone while the grandfather and grandson humorously continue to watch the game on their respective phones at the back of the ambulance van. The plot takes a twist as the grandfather burps and they all realize the discomfort was due to a mere bout of gas. Just then a six goes off in the match, which cheers the three up, bringing the film to an end. The campaign will be breaking across TV, digital, social and print.

    “The campaign draws from one of the biggest consumption shifts we’ve seen among viewers in recent times, as they migrate to digital from linear avenues to catch their daily dose of live sports action,” said JioCinema’s creative marketing head Shagun Seda. The campaign idea ‘Sab Yahaan, Aur Kahaan!’ centre stages the ubiquity of watching the TATA IPL on digital, and JioCinema continuing to present the world’s biggest T20 tournament without any barriers to accessibility, affordability and language. Creatively, we attempted to present MS Dhoni in a manner that resonates with fans who cherish every minute of him in action.”

    “This is more than just a campaign for us, it’s what large agency heads call “a mandate”. And what a crazy mandate it was, from cracking the central idea of ‘Sab Yahaan, Aur Kahaan!’, to working closely with the JioCinema team and scripting out multiple films, to jamming with the production team and seeing it through, it has been a hectic and emotionally gratifying journey,” said The Script Room founder Ayyappan. “Thanks a lot to the JioCinema team for their trust and the camaraderie, couldn’t have asked for more. It also gives us great joy that they pushed us towards the best creative output. We are super happy with the work and hope everyone enjoys it.”

    TATA IPL 2024 will commence on JioCinema with the southern derby as MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings face off with Royal Challengers Bangalore on 22 March 2024. Viewers will be able to catch the latest season for free in 4K across 12 languages including Haryanvi for the first time, multi-cam options including the much-hyped Hero Cam, and many more fan-engagement features including Jeeto Dhan Dhana Dhan.

  • #NurtureTheQueenWithin campaign launched by Krishna’s Herbal on Women’s Day

    #NurtureTheQueenWithin campaign launched by Krishna’s Herbal on Women’s Day

    Mumbai: Krishna’s Herbal & Ayurveda, a leading manufacturer of Ayurvedic preservative-free herbal products, has announced #NurtureTheQueenWithin campaign in the run-up to International Women’s Day. Dedicated to all modern-day women who seek a mentally and physically fit life, the campaign emphasizes upon the importance of imbibing Ayurveda in their daily lives. The week-long campaign by the pioneering Ayurvedic brand comprises various facets, including the sharing of daily queenly rituals, ayurvedic wisdom for women and myth busters, along with exciting discounts on special products curated exclusively for women.

    Excited to steer this women-centric campaign, Krishna’s Herbal & Ayurveda founder and CEO Shrawan Daga said, “This Women’s Day, Krishna’s Herbal is celebrating the Queens in our lives, not just for a day but for an extended duration. Through this campaign, women will understand their own importance, give more time to themselves and also make it a part of their routine. Based on the age-old wisdom of Ayurveda, the #NurtureTheQueenWithin campaign highlights how women can start self care rituals, deal with health concerns like stress, sleep and hormonal balance, and find solutions in ancient texts.”

    Even as the campaign honours the strength, grace and resilience that every woman showcases, it comes as a gentle tap to simply re-align their life to live to their fullest. The first phase of the campaign, Daily Queenly Rituals, has already been unveiled and refers to the virtues of waking early. Though many women already practice the same in the daily life, they devote little or no time to themselves. The need is for them to imbibe some daily self-care rituals, such as Nasya or oil pulling, self-massage like Abhyanga, meditation, yoga and reading. Besides, nature-oriented solutions like She Care Juice, Thyro Care Juice and Aloe Vera Gel must be incorporated in daily personal care regimen.

    The campaign will also cover Ayurvedic Wisdom for Women where experts will help them in finding Ayurvedic solutions for their health problems. The Myth Busters series, aimed at debunking common myths regarding women’s health and self-care, promotes evidence-based approach. There will be Live Q and A sessions with Ayurvedic practitioners too. Even as the first phase of the campaign is already garnering great interest, Krishna’s Herbal & Ayurveda aims to help women-led social impact organisations by contributing a part of their sales, thus truly reaching out to the Queens of the world.

  • RCB & Himalaya unite for new campaign addressing off-field spots

    RCB & Himalaya unite for new campaign addressing off-field spots

    Mumbai: Following the resounding success of its association with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the inaugural edition of the Women’s T20 League that embraced beauty positivity, leading Wellness brand, Himalaya Wellness, is proud to announce its continued partnership with the team for the ongoing season. This year, with the #TakeMySPOT campaign, the focus shifts to celebrating their hard-earned spots and achievements on the field. Through this quirky campaign Himalaya, in collaboration with 82.5 Communications, acknowledges that while no one can take these well-deserved spots, for the unwanted spots on the face, Himalaya Dark Spot is Clearing Turmeric Face Wash and Face Care Range.

    As an extension of the #TakeMySPOT campaign, Himalaya is also breaking new ground by teaming up with the GoEqual Premier League, to celebrate women’s rightful spot in the realm of football. This thrilling collaboration isn’t just about scoring goals; it’s about breaking away gender stereotypes to level the playing field. By investing in grassroots football programs and engaging with local communities, schools, and professional teams to promote football, Himalaya aims to provide the much-deserved SPOT for every woman who dreams of being a part of this sport.

    The new campaign, for Himalaya’s latest offering, the Himalaya Dark Spot Clearing Turmeric Face Wash #TakeMySPOT, carries a very powerful message. Just like the RCB players who fight relentlessly to secure their positions on the cricket pitch, women across all walks of life have diligently carved their own spaces and earned their rightful place. While women strive hard to earn their spots, the Himalaya Dark Spot Clearing Turmeric Face Wash & Face Care Range effortlessly tackles unwanted spots on the face. The turmeric face care range harnesses the power of organically sourced turmeric that is extracted using the time-tested Ayurvedic method called Svarasa.

    Unfolding in two phases, the campaign cleverly used the concept of “spot” with a playful twist. The teaser phase, launched during the first RCB match, saw players sporting #TakeMySPOT on their caps, leaving viewers curious while sparking social conversations. A video featuring RCB star cricketers Smriti Mandhana, Richa Ghosh, and Shreyanka Patil alongside content creator Danish Sait who added a layer of humour into the video with his witty take on the “spot” theme kept the audience guessing. This effectively amplified the campaign’s message making the teaser hashtag #TakeMySpot trend no1 on Twitter during RCB’s first match. To build further excitement, the brand utilised a 360-degree strategy across radio, social media, outdoor advertising, and YouTube.

    In the second phase of the campaign, the brand wittingly revealed that the spots reference was to the unwanted spots on the face that Himalaya Dark Spot Clearing Turmeric Face Wash & Face Care Range can effectively remove. This impactful reveal seamlessly tied the campaign’s message to the brand. With this campaign, Himalaya celebrates the unwavering spirit of women who have fought hard to claim their rightful positions—on the field and in life. It reminds everyone that while no one can remove their hard-earned spots, Himalaya can help tackle those unwanted spots on their faces. The campaign sustained its clever utilisation of the “spot” concept through a series of videos featuring cheeky interactions between Danish and RCB’s star cricketers. The brand’s association was revealed on 29th February, with a change in the RCB players’ cap messages. The mystery finally resolving itself created excitement amongst the RCB fans, causing it to trend on Twitter again on the no1 position.

    For more than 90 years, Himalaya Wellness Company has been a leader in bringing Wellness to every Home and Happiness in every Heart.

    Himalaya Wellness Company business director Rajesh Krishnamurthy expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “The success of our partnership with the Women’s Premier League in 2023 inspired us to continue our association in this year’s edition. Along with the cricketers, we’re thrilled to bring the excitement of Danish Sait’s collaboration to the #TakeMySPOT campaign, adding a layer of humour and intrigue as we tackle the topic of stubborn spots with our new Himalaya Dark Spot Clearing Turmeric Face Wash and Face Care Range.

    “We’re thrilled to see the incredible response to the #TakeMySPOT campaign teaser, which trended at Number 1 on Twitter on day 1 of RCB’s match and the reveal trending at no1 on the 29 of February! We’re confident that this year’s partnership, much like last year, will not only generate excitement around the product but also continue to solidify our connection with the women’s T20 league audience,” said Ragini Hariharan, Marketing Director of Personal Care & Hygiene at Himalaya. “We’re proud to introduce this face wash and face care range, formulated using a unique cold-pressed extraction technology called Svarasa that preserves the essential components of turmeric. This research-backed formula empowers our consumers to tackle dark spots and achieve healthy, radiant skin.”

    Speaking on the occasion, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) vice president and head Rajesh Menon said, “We are glad to extend our partnership with Himalaya as we get into the second season. Both the brands share the same core values of inclusivity and diversity and care for the causes that matter to impact the society positively.”

    The new Himalaya Dark Spot Clearing Turmeric Face Wash is made by harnessing the power of organically sourced turmeric extracted using the advanced Ayurvedic Svarasa Technique, which preserves its natural goodness. The non-staining formula helps you get bright, healthy, and radiant skin.

    Face Wash category manager Gayatri Kabilan added, “This innovation marks Himalaya’s greater initiative towards tackling the growing problem of dark spots caused by sun exposure, acne scars, and previously overlooked concerns. While overcoming spots, we’ve also taken steps to care for the environment as the face wash comes in a fully recyclable and environmentally conscious tube.”

    82.5 Communications CCO Mayur Varma expressed his excitement, stating, “We’re thrilled to unveil this campaign featuring the talented trio—Smriti Mandhana, Shreyanka Patil, Richa Ghosh—alongside the popular comic, Danish Sait. We are hopeful that the campaign’s fun-filled vibe will resonate with RCB fans and Himalaya users alike.”

  • Wonderchef breaks kitchen stereotypes with campaign

    Wonderchef breaks kitchen stereotypes with campaign

    Mumbai:  Wonderchef, the leader in cookware and kitchen appliances, has unveiled its latest ad campaign aimed at challenging traditional gender roles. The campaign breaks the stereotype that only women are required to cook at home. The campaign #CookTogether highlights the importance of gender neutrality in the kitchen and promotes inclusivity and equality, establishing cooking is for everyone. It need not be a chore; it can be a pleasurable activity full of love and enjoyment.

    The core thought behind Wonderchef’s campaign is to democratize the Indian kitchen and create a future where everyone, regardless of gender, shares the joy of cooking. Through an interesting storyline, thought-provoking messaging, and powerful visuals, the campaign seeks to inspire individuals to embrace cooking as a form of self-expression, irrespective of societal norms.

    Conceived by Wonderchef co-founder & CEO Ravi Saxena the campaign unfolds a captivating narrative: a young woman confidently questions her potential partner’s culinary skills in an arranged marriage setup. The narrative challenges the conventional belief that cooking is solely a woman’s responsibility, resonating strongly with modern audiences and sparking conversations about gender bias in Indian homes.

    Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, Co-Founder of Wonderchef, said, “Traditionally, women have been expected to manage the kitchens. Our campaign aims to challenge and change this perception, showing that cooking can be a collaborative, gender-neutral task with the right appliance. The essence of our campaign is to redefine the kitchen as a space of equality and shared joy.”

    “At Wonderchef, we believe that cooking is an art that everyone should enjoy. Couples who cook together, stay together,” said Mr Ravi Saxena. “Our campaign aims to challenge outdated stereotypes and promote inclusivity in the kitchen. We want to empower individuals to explore their culinary creativity and create a future where cooking is a shared responsibility.”

    Central to the campaign is Wonderchef’s latest innovation, Chef Magic, an appliance that revolutionizes the cooking experience and makes it possible for individuals to cook, regardless of their knowledge of cooking. Chef Magic is designed to simplify cooking tasks and empower users to experiment with new recipes, encouraging more people to participate in cooking. Chef Magic launch is slated around Women’s Day 2024.

    Renowned actress T J Bhanu, who has challenged gender bias in all her roles, is the face of the campaign, said, “In many aspects, like literacy and employment, we have come a long way, and women have established themselves as equally competent counterparts. However, even today, cooking is a gender-assigned role. I have partnered with Wonderchef to enable a cultural shift and build a future kitchen where cooking is not meant for only women but all of us cook together.”

    This innovative campaign has already garnered widespread acclaim across social media platforms for its bold messaging and compelling story. After its hugely popular “Dear Man Hold The Pan” campaigns, Wonderchef remains dedicated to fostering positive change in the kitchen, promoting inclusivity, and advocating for equality.
