  • TTK Prestige challenges gender roles in kitchen with #CookingHasNoGender campaign

    TTK Prestige challenges gender roles in kitchen with #CookingHasNoGender campaign

    Mumbai: TTK Prestige has launched a new campaign on Mother’s Day that echoes its progressive views of gender roles in the kitchen. Titled #CookingHasNoGender, the campaign conceptualised by 22feet Tribal Worldwide intends to make Indian kitchens gender-neutral by bringing men into the fold. The marketing campaign will run on all major social media platforms.

    “For a long time, advertising for cookware brands has featured women front and centre in the kitchen because of stereotypes that expect them to fulfil that role in the family. This new campaign reflects the dynamics of a modern family where cookware is for anyone to cook and feel more comfortable in the kitchen regardless of gender,” said the brand in a statement.

    The film opens with a young boy learning to cook from his father, who insists on teaching him the effort that goes into making a simple meal. Tired, the boy asks if it’s necessary to learn cooking. The father imparts a simple lesson that everyone should learn how to cook.

    ‘‘As a brand with a legacy of over 66 years, mothers have always had a special place in our hearts. TTK Prestige shares a strong bond with them through our range of innovative products that eases their lives in the kitchen,” said TTK Prestige deputy general manager Ankur Agarwal. “Through the narrative in the campaign, TTK Prestige endeavours to capture the little things that make family time so meaningful and endearing. This campaign strongly endorses aspects such as love, togetherness and food, which fuels closeness in a family. As a brand that is relatable to current times, we believe that #CookingHasNoGender.’’

    “Progress cannot be limited to the fringes, it has to be mainstream. And we are proud to see brands like TTK Prestige wanting to drive progressive narratives,” commented 22feet Tribal Worldwide EVP and national head of business Ken Sekhar. “We are fortunate to work with a company that partnered with us to push the envelope on inclusive and diverse communication. The result of that relationship is what you see in this campaign.”

    Cadbury 5 Star launches digital campaign, chooses the third umpire as its brand ambassador

    Mumbai: The iconic brand from Mondelez India, Cadbury 5 star has signed up the third umpire as its brand ambassador and has launched its latest campaign for IPL season.

    By crowning third umpires the #DoNothingLegend of cricket, the campaign celebrates these true icons – the ones who make the least moves, but the most impactful ones.

    The brand also launched its digital campaign where the brand installed a 12 ft holographic statue of the well-known umpire, CK Nandan at the Marine Drive, which was met with a lot of curiosity from the crowd gathered at the spot. Open to visitors on 2nd and 3rd May, the statue displayed the significance of the campaign idea on a plaque with the objective of creating a unique experience and engagement touch point for people who can pay their tribute to the legend as well.

    Additionally, the brand has also unveiled a digital film supported through a 360-degree marketing plan spread across platforms such as YouTube, Facebook and Hotstar.

    Speaking about the campaign Mondelez India vice president Anil Viswanathan said, “Today IPL has become synonymous to cricket and with #DoNothingLegend, our aim is to shine a spotlight on the real legends, the game changers, who make historic decisions in these matches – the third umpire. They hold the power to make or break a match, whilst silently seated in a room, giving people the feeling that they are doing nothing at all. Cadbury 5 Star has always applauded the unimaginable results of doing nothing, and this campaign is no exception. This one-of-a-kind activation coupled with 360-degree efforts reiterates Cadbury 5 Star’s brand persona of being witty. The campaign speaks in a language that best resonates with the youth, who remain major followers of the sport.”

    ‘’IPL is core to our target audience, however landing our message of ‘Do Nothing’ on such a high octane event was close to impossible. This is a great example of finding the right targeting moment and working with partners to leverage it. Be it people watching the match online, people reading about the match, people discussing the match, or people watching the match with their friends. Every touchpoint will be celebrating the Third Umpire moments with 5-Star,” said West Wavemaker India chief client officer head Shekhar Banerjee.

    Ogilvy India’s chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak added, “This IPL we aimed to establish a connection with the Youth by further strengthening the “Do Nothing” proposition by celebrating and turning the third umpire into an iconic symbol that says, “Doing nothing is everything” and that’s how we became the first brand to make the Third Umpire a brand ambassador.”

  • Unacademy’s new campaign highlights role of mother as first teacher

    Unacademy’s new campaign highlights role of mother as first teacher

    Mumbai: The edtech learning platform, Unacademy has launched its new campaign celebrating motherhood titled ‘Meri Pehli Academy’. The film commemorates the role of every mother as the first teacher, educator in every child’s life.

    Conceptualised by Ogilvy, the film showcases the story of a young student – Bulbul, who is moving to a new city to live alone. It highlights how her mother has come along to help her set up the place, guiding her to do things on her own, testing and mentoring her to live her life independently. The heartfelt appreciation soon turns into a deeper realisation, as Bulbul begins to see her mother as her first academy.

    The film outlines several instances which reinforce the subconscious learnings from the mother. When the mother asks Bulbul to make ‘chai’ – Bulbul learns the whereabouts of items in the kitchen and it is a metaphor for learning how to fend for yourself. When Bulbul starts unpacking her room, her mother hands her the box opener, highlighting how she is equipping Bulbul to start the new journey.

    Speaking on the launch of the film, Unacademy’s partner & chief marketing officer, Karan Shroff said, “Throughout our formative years, our mother figures teach us several valuable life lessons. For most of us, we do not realise during our entire lifetime, the pivotal role they play in our lives, which is that of our first educator, our first Academy.

    “This year, we are commemorating the learnings we all got from our #MeriPehliAcademy with the hope that the message resonates with all our learners. It also conveys Unacademy’s promise of being a lifelong ally to learners at every step of their journey along with their mother,” he added.

    Ogilvy’s chief creative officer Puneet Kapoor said, “A mother is our first teacher and our first school. From learning our first lessons from her, we also learn valuable life lessons. A mother is the foundation to a child’s being, her/his pillar of strength. The role that a mother plays in a child’s life, can’t be paralleled by any other human relationship. This was the genesis of the wonderful idea of the film:Maa- #MeriPehliAcademy.”

  • Tanishq, Talented launch new campaign to inspire moms and break stereotypes

    Tanishq, Talented launch new campaign to inspire moms and break stereotypes

    Mumbai: Tanishq has launched its latest campaign ‘The Interview’ ahead of Mother’s Day. Conceptualized by Tanishq and Talented, the two-minute slice of life film attempts to break stereotypes around maternity break and showcases an apt description of ‘Life’s Boot Camp’ through the eyes of a new mother.

    Created in partnership with Superfly Films, it strives to strike a conversation with new mothers as it shines the light upon progressive womanhood by celebrating the inherent leader in every mother. A maternity break teaches a woman to lead by instinct, and trust her own decisions, even when she often feels overwhelmed by advice received by others. It is only in this special phase of life that a woman really masters the art of time management and constant prioritization while she juggles multiple roles and responsibilities both personally and professionally.

    The film protagonist, Radhika, is a young mother and a promising candidate with charisma and a whole lot of rich experience. She is just back from her maternity break as she appears for a job interview. The interviewer is curiously surprised by the mention of ‘Life Boot Camp’ on her resume, even as she describes it beautifully just like any other job experience and the responsibilities that she might not even let go of. However, the interviewer’s decision was a little divided!

    Speaking on the launch of the film, Titan’s General Manager-Marketing, Ranjani Krishnaswamy said, “The woman of today is seeking to express herself with honesty and authenticity to confidently celebrate her realities. She’s thriving in her vulnerability while rising in her power to change her world. The brand believes these powerful stories build positive momentum in cultivating a world of equality and adding to her self-growth. This film is an ode to women who challenge set narratives and inspire many others to follow the change.”

    Titan’s Head-HR, Retail and Corporate said, “Work teams with better women representation bring high value to organizations. But this is not the only reason for Titan to embark on this journey. The purpose behind taking this step was that we thought it was innately the right thing to do. In the last three decades, we have built a foundation by increasing our gender representation across managerial levels, strengthening diversity enabling processes and building a culture of inclusivity. But we do not settle here. Titan is striving to continue improving women’s representation and create a culture where we make sure women receive all the required support from the organization in their journey as a mother with flexible and supportive policies”.

    Speaking on the film, Talented’s Founding Member and Creative Binaifer Dulani said, “Studies reveal that it will take at least 136 years to close the global gender pay gap, and one of the biggest factors for this is the lack of representation of women in senior leadership. We need more workplaces to see beyond the dominant culture and create equity for women so that they can make their comeback. There is no parallel to the thought differentiation and unique life experiences mothers bring to the table, yet they are constantly on the back foot when they want to make a comeback after a maternity break. Through this campaign, we want to inspire organisations to take affirmative action towards retaining and hiring mothers, and we want to inspire mothers to claim their maternity breaks as what it is – a boot camp in life and leadership”.
