  • Schwarzkopf’s latest campaign will make you #BreakTheRules and not your hair

    Schwarzkopf’s latest campaign will make you #BreakTheRules and not your hair

    Mumbai: Schwarzkopf, the leading hair colour and styling brand, has launched its innovative 360-degree campaign ‘Break the rules and not your hair’, for its Colour  Specialist range.

    The campaign aims to break the stigma around how every at-home hair colour experience causes  the three Ds- Dryness, Dullness and Damage.

    The film highlights the importance of eliminating unpleasant results associated with hair colour. It  asks viewers to break the norm of having to compromise while choosing to colour at home. The  Colour Specialist range from Schwarzkopf, infused with moisture locking hyaluronic acid, is the  first at-home hair colour in India powered with Omegaplex anti-breakage technology which  provides up to 90% less hair breakage. It comes with a new Colour Care System that help the  pigments penetrate deeper in the hair, locking the colour for longer. It also comes with an extra  repair mask for post colour care, to be used after 3 weeks, a first of its kind innovation in the  category. With flawless results and supreme after-care, Colour Specialist is all set to break  perceptions around at-home hair colouring.  

    The campaign will run across digital platforms. The digital interventions planned for it include the  innovative pop-up media ads, category-first CGI (Computer-Generated Imagery) content and an  influencer-led ambush campaign.

    In connection with this campaign, the brand discerned that consumers often adjust their  expectations while choosing to colour at the comfort of their homes, as they feel they need to  choose between comfort and results.

    To change this norm, the brand conceptualised this #BreakTheRules campaign to shift perceptions about at-home hair colour, how it’s often linked to hair breakage and damage.

    Henkel Beauty Care India marketing head Shama Dalal commented, “Since our entry  in the Indian market in 2001, we have stayed true to our brand DNA of consistently bringing in  superlative products, benchmark-setting innovations, and complete focus on customer-centricity,  while, at the same time, challenging norms and embracing change. We are excited to launch our  first-ever digital campaign for Colour Specialist which highlights the importance of breaking the  rules and choosing to not compromise with colour. This is a great starting point for us to create  more engaging narratives in the at-home hair colour space through multiple touchpoints such as  social channels, influencers, on-ground activations and more.”

  • L&K Saatchi & Saatchi unveils campaign for Zepto’s Bumrah-speed deliveries

    L&K Saatchi & Saatchi unveils campaign for Zepto’s Bumrah-speed deliveries

    Mumbai: Unveiling Zepto’s collaboration with pacer Jasprit Bumrah, L&K Saatchi & Saatchi has conceptualised a humorous three-part campaign, ‘Groceries delivered at Bumrah Speed’,  which showcases Zepto’s speedy, consistent and precise deliveries, much like Bumrah’s deliveries on the field.  

    The latest campaign, strategically launched during the ongoing Cricket World Cup, follows the success of the agency’s earlier work for the brand, ‘Indian Stretchable Time’, one of the year’s most awarded campaigns, winning internationally at the One Show, Spikes and AdFest, as well as at Indian award shows like the Abby Awards and Kyoorius.

    The campaign aims to build saliency and awareness of Zepto as the fastest grocery delivery service in the country.

    L&K Saatchi & Saatchi Jt National creative director Kartik Smetacek said, “The campaign task was to position Zepto as the fastest delivery service. So, who better than Jasprit Bumrah to set the benchmark for speed? We were working within the 20-second format, so the films needed to be sharp, with minimum build-up yet maximum impact. I think it’s a job well done.”

    Zepto chief growth officer Viral Jhaveri expressed, “Our partnership with Jasprit  underscores our commitment to pushing boundaries, achieving perfection, and delivering  with speed, consistency and precision.”

    L&K Saatchi & Saatchi executive vice president Debarjyo Nandi added, “It is rare to have the business, brand and brand ambassador all delivering the brand’s core proposition seamlessly. Retain the humour, surprise and entertaining tonality, and we have a campaign  that will not just build salience but create maximum impact in a highly cluttered season.”  

    The first film sees Bumrah flying a fighter jet while the other two place Bumrah at a blast-beat music concert and in a fast-paced news studio, where he pushes the boundaries of speed and positions Zepto as the platform of choice for lightning-fast deliveries.  

    The campaign is anchored on Disney+ Hotstar, the Zepto app, and other OTT and social media platforms. It will also include out-of-home advertising in all major cities where the brand operates.

    Ananya Panday perfectly embodies the spirit of this campaign. Her passion for life, relatability and chic yet cool style make her the perfect choice for the face of the brand. Starting October 2023, Timex, along with the actress, is set to reach its diverse consumers through campaigns, content,  events and the Ananya charm.

    The Timex “Waste More Time” campaign with Ananya is not just about telling time; it’s about living time. Ananya Panday in the campaign film is seen enjoying every moment of life be it twinning with your pet, playing with books or just talking to plants. Timex keeps the time so you can forget while doing just anything that’s worth wasting more time over.

    Ananya Panday, commenting on her latest association with Timex, said “I had so much fun shooting for the ‘Waste More Time’ campaign, a message so unique and so striking. I could connect to it immediately. In a world that often demands us to be busy all the time, Timex reminds us that doing what makes us truly happy is never a waste. I am thrilled to be associated with Timex.”

    Timex India managing director Deepak Chhabra shared his pleasure announcing the campaign, “We are excited to have Ananya Panday as the face of the campaign. Her personality and the appeal she has among audiences of all ages is commendable. It was a sheer joy to work with her on the campaign and we couldn’t have found a better partner who is quirky yet calm in her own unique way and resonates with the brand. Together with Ananya and the Waste More Time campaign, we hope to strike a chord with our consumers who appreciate honesty in brands and to reinforce the fashion and lifestyle imagery of the brand.”

    Let Timex on your wrist be a reminder to embrace the balance to the hustle, bring calm to the chaos and find peace within by seeking unrushed fulfilment. So go ahead and stay up a little later, watch the next episode, take the scenic route, and forget about that annoying reminder; because Timex believes that when you are genuinely enjoying what you are doing, it is not wasting time—it is living.
