As part of this initiative, Mudrex sent pizzas to approximately 300 startups and companies in and around Bengaluru, commemorating the evolution and widespread adoption of Bitcoin.

    Bitcoin Pizza Day holds a special significance in the cryptocurrency world, as it marks the anniversary of the first documented transaction using Bitcoin. Mudrex, known for its innovative approach to crypto investing, saw this as an opportunity to bring the community together and celebrate the remarkable journey of cryptocurrencies. 

    The Bitcoin Pizza Day campaign served as a reminder of the progress made in the crypto industry and the broader implications of digital currencies. It showcased Mudrex’s commitment to promoting the adoption and understanding of cryptocurrencies in a tangible and enjoyable way. The campaign has been spoken across the company’s social media platforms, especially on Instagram.

    “We are thrilled to celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day by sharing pizzas with our fellow startups and companies.

    Coinswitch CEO and co-founder Ashish Singhal said, “May 22, 2010, Bitcoin made its inaugural practical use, establishing a model for subsequent applications of crypto. Prior to this incident, the concept of crypto existed purely in theory, lacking any proof of its capacity to facilitate real-world purchases. Nevertheless, Laszlo Hanyecz’s decision to exchange 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas provided concrete evidence of crypto’s potential as a medium of trade…

    To acknowledge this momentous day at CoinSwitch, we will all come together to indulge in a delicious pizza feast!

    CoinSwitch presents to you a Bitcoin-inspired pizza recipe.

    Happy Bitcoin pizza day!”

  • CaratLane unveils first salary campaign 2.0

    CaratLane unveils first salary campaign 2.0

    Mumbai: CaratLane, India’s Omni-channel jewellery brand, has launched its latest campaign dedicated to celebrating everyone’s first salary. The campaign titled First Salary 2.0 has taken new shape and has been conceptualised and executed by BBH India. The brand is constantly looking at micro occasions that are very intimate in our lives and how jewellery can play an important role in making it more memorable. Receiving one’s first salary is a big milestone in anybody’s life, marking their foray into adulthood. Most people are looking to mark this moment with a special gift that would help express their gratitude to the ones who always put them first. The CaratLane and BBH teams drew from these thoughtful experiences to rebuild the ‘First Salary 2.0’ campaign.

    With the relaunch of this campaign, CaratLane has also collaborated with 50+ creators across Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube to highlight what they did with their first salary, whether they took a vacation or they bought a piece of jewellery for their family. The campaign messaging reflects on how our mothers always put us first and now it’s our turn to return the love. CaratLane aims to tug at the heart strings and show consumers how a memorable occasion such as making a first salary purchase can also double up as a touching gesture towards your most special people.

    Talking about the relaunch, CaratLane VP marketing Jennifer Pandy said, “As a brand, we are always looking at all the smaller yet significant moments in our lives where jewellery can help us express our emotions better. In a country like India, education and getting a job is paramount to establishing success early on in life. It has become all the more important to mark this occasion with something special and memorable. It is about the moment when the child feels ready to stand on their own feet and the roles start to reverse between them and their parents. It’s a rite of passage! A beautiful moment between a mother and her child which we have highlighted in the film is a homage to this very emotion.”

    The campaign mainstay is a film that traces the story of a young girl who is excited to be receiving her first salary. Sharing the agency’s approach towards bringing the campaign to life, BBH India executive creative director Arvind Menon said, “Who is the greatest mentor giving some of the simplest work advice? Mom. Who is that late-night work buddy who always stays up with you? Mom, again. So, doesn’t your first salary moment belong to her as much as you? We weaved a story around this insight as Kittu, our charming protagonist, is struck by this realisation that prompts her to surprise her Ma with a beautiful first salary gift from CaratLane.”

    This campaign is live on social media platforms of the brand and gifts are available on the website www.caratlane.com and in 230+ CaratLane stores across India.

  • Zee Business exposes overcharging with #MRPParDoKhana campaign

    Mumbai: When was the last time you checked the MRP/ rate card of a drinking water bottle or a veg/ non-veg thali ordered while traveling by an express train?

    While the food delivery service has been one of the convenient services provided by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), there have been instances when passengers were constantly being overcharged for purchasing food items or having unwanted items added to their menus on trains.

    On being informed by passengers about such instances, the Zee Business team looked into this matter with an investigative lens, and initiated #MRPParDoKhana news reportage and awareness campaign.

    Food was being sold from the pantry at more than the fixed rate of IRCTC. Ignorance in checking the MRP, has resulted in vendors taking undue advantage and overcharging passengers for food items. i.e. passengers end up paying Rs 50 extra over and above the actual MRP. The sole purpose of Zee Business’ consumer-centric news story was to educate its viewers on the responsible initiatives that need to be taken, both by the consumers and IRCTC.

    While the Zee Business team encouraged audiences to report any such overcharging instances by tweeting using the hashtag #MRPParDoKhana also alerted IRCTC to take immediate action. The official body also issued an order to vendors, asking them to stop the practice of overcharging immediately and avoid selling paneer mixed with food to justify the inflated prices. IRCTC wrote a letter to the group general managers of five zones, instructing them to take quick action against offenders and submit a report regarding the same at the earliest. It further threatened vendors with stopping the A la Carte system.

    Taking cognisance of passengers’ inconvenience, IRCTC will select trains on ten routes for inspections, and surprise inspections of trains on crowded routes will be done.

    The unfiltered news reportage and presentation of facts of Zee Business resulted in immediate changes that will be witnessed by passengers soon:

    •   Rate cards will be displayed at easily visible places in all coaches
    •   Bills for food items, and drinking water bottles will be provided to passengers to avoid being overcharged
    •   Staffers who supply food items to coaches will also be informed about rate cards of food items
    •   Passengers can complain about the quality and quantity of food items
    •   Seal of RailNeer bottles is mandatory
    •   IRCTC is setting up four new water plants
    •   New water plants will be set up to increase the supply

    Highlighting the far-fetched impact of the investigative stance, Zee Business managing editor Anil Singhvi said, “Zee Business’ responsible journalism has been consistent in presenting factual details supporting consumer rights on timely basis. The news reportage on overcharging for purchasing food items or having unwanted items added to their menu on trains is just one of the many impactful examples of investigative journalism and consumer awareness campaigns taken up by us. We look forward to further engaging with our viewers and stakeholders with the sole purpose of helping each one to take informed decisions on a timely basis.”

    The managing editor also received a positive response to the poll for #MRPParDoKhana- to which 91.7 per cent were in favour of paying for food items as per MRP.

  • Let go of the FOMO and ‘Do Nothing’ this summer, says Cadbury 5Star’s quirky new campaign

    Mumbai: In the chaos of modern life, Cadbury 5Star, the beloved chocolate brand, has always set itself apart by advocating for those few restful minutes where one can unplug from everything around them and do nothing.

    Recognising the demands and pressures that young people go through every day to do more, achieve more, and experience more, Cadbury 5Star believes in a counter-culture that empowers them to take a step back, let go of the FOMO and take some time to simply ‘do nothing’.  

    Reiterating the brand proposition with this new and creative campaign, it invites individuals to ‘Do Nothing’ by creating space for a little bit of downtime while indulging in the delectable taste of a Cadbury 5Star by reimagining the familiar and iconic chocolate bar as items signifying relaxation. The chocolate and caramel bar is depicted as a hammock, a sofa, and a literal escape key on the keyboard.
