  • BIG FM, mcgarrybowen India launch #PrideFromHomeByBigFM

    BIG FM, mcgarrybowen India launch #PrideFromHomeByBigFM

    NEW DELHI: BIG FM, one of India's largest radio networks, together with mcgarrybowen India, the creative agency from the house of Dentsu Aegis Network (DAN), has taken its philosophy ‘Dhun Badal Ke Toh Dekho’ a step further in its latest campaign, #PrideFromHomeByBigFM.  

    The pride march represents something precious, especially for those who had been shunned, shamed and even jailed for years. The idea behind the rally is to promote the right to live with pride and dignity against oppressive laws and stifling societal values. Every year, millions of courageous people come out on the streets and express who they are. They walk holding hands, kiss who they love, and hope that the world will see them differently. 

    But 2020 changed it all. The Covid2019 induced global pandemic that enforced a strict national directive that everyone follows physical distancing has led people to stop expressing themselves at public gatherings including the pride march. Therefore, BIG FM, in association with mcgarrybowen India, decided to encourage everyone to be part of the Pride parade without leaving their homes and showing support by hoisting an unusual flag from the safety of their homes. 

    People were asked to do what they do every day – put their clothes to dry but with a twist. This time, they had to show their support by arranging them in a manner that creates the pride flag. They were further asked to take a picture of the same and upload it using the hashtag, #PrideFromHomeByBigFM. Various RJs from Big FM along with many LGBTQ community activists, friends and followers, came together to show support. From social media promotions, reminding people about this unique initiative, to mentions by RJs on-air, they encouraged more and more people to do this simple act that needs no effort.

    Commenting on the campaign, a BIG FM spokesperson said, “We at BIG FM have always focused on driving forward a sense of purpose and outcome in all our campaigns and initiatives. Since it was the pride month, we wanted to bring the celebrations home to the millions who revel in these rallies. During this time, by bringing the community together in a unique manner by ensuring social distancing, we, as a network, continue to be one of their biggest supporters.”

    mcgarrybowen India  national creative director Aalap Desai added, “The lockdown has changed the way people behave and has challenged the creative team to think harder and asymmetrically about creative solutions. While there are many powerful insights that can be tapped into, we needed to think of many creative ways to put them into action. Creating a Pride flag using your laundry was, for us, a stroke of ingenuity.”

  • Motilal Oswal launches new TVC campaign ‘Skin in the Game’

    Motilal Oswal launches new TVC campaign ‘Skin in the Game’

    NEW DELHI:  Motilal Oswal Mutual Funds has launched a new TVC lead ad campaign – ‘Skin in the Game.’ Conceptualised by Mullen Lintas, the 'Skin in the Game' proposition helps demonstrate the conviction that the brand has in its product and a reason why investors should trust the brand. 

    Ever since the inception of Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund; MOFSL promoters’ personal investments as well as the company's money (treasury funds) has been invested in their own Equity Mutual Funds. So much so that the company and its promoters are the largest investors in the company's equity funds. In that sense, the company has the highest ‘skin in the game’. Using the insight that when it comes to trust; actions speak louder than words; the campaign aims to highlight this unique and powerful proposition.

    The creative idea is inspired by signs seen across various food outlets all over India. To instil confidence and trust, many restaurants put up a sign – "The owner of this restaurant also eats here". This acts as a testament to the conviction the owner has in the quality of food he serves. 

    Motilal Oswal Financial Services Ltd (MOFSL) executive director & head marketing Ramnik Chhabra said, “When it comes to investing in general and equity mutual funds in particular, the results of your choice are only discernible in the future. To decide on which brand to select in the present for a positive future outcome; investors look for Trustmarks. This campaign provides a strong reason to trust the Motilal Oswal brand. Our belief in our equity expertise can be gauged from the fact that we eat our own cooking! ”

    Overlaying the now popular tone and manner and signature brand music of the Motilal Oswal films; the campaign would be promoted on business news channels, digital and social media.

    Mullen Lintas executive creative director Garima Khandelwal said, “To exhibit the extent of trust Motilal Oswal has in the product they sell, we thought to dramatise the opposite of it in a parallel industry. Borrowing from life and building from an analogy of the same. It started with the sign at a restaurant that proudly shows the belief in the food they serve by the owner advertising he consuming it to its patrons and the film was weaved around it to make the same parallel for the promoters of the fund, as they themselves invest in the equity fund that they promote, showing off their skin in the game. The ad was conceptualised pre covid but executed post Covid, which made the execution journey memorable.”

We hope to educate the consumer on the importance of building one's financial immunity like they have towards their health.

This being the context, we wanted to introduce a parallel need for one’s family’s financial immunity, being as proactive about the same. And it’s relevance in this landscape. Drawing a simple parallel between health and financial immunity and stressing on the need for both, borrowing from the current and changed awareness in the behaviour.”

    Sun Pharma launches ‘Thank you Doctor’ campaign

    NEW DELHI: Sun Pharma has launched a ‘Thank you Doctor’ campaign to express gratitude towards doctors for their sacrifices and selfless service. The campaign features a one-minute TVC which is based on testimonials of 12 real-life patients who have recovered from cancer, heart attack and Covid2019 disease, among others. The patients are seen thanking doctors for their bigger role of being their family, friend and nurturer. Originally shot in Hindi, the video has been dubbed in six regional languages. The three week campaign is now live on TV and social media platforms.

    ‘Paheli meeting mein dard nikal diya’ (Removed pain in first meeting itself), ‘Haath thama, dil jeet liya’ (Extended help and won my heart), ‘Maut ke munh se khinch laaye’ (Saved me from death), ‘Maa jaisa khyal rakha’ (Cared like a mother) – the patients are seen thanking doctors in the TVC.

In the times of Covid2019 pandemic, every day, we hear new stories of their compassion & patriotism and are indebted to them for their sacrifice and commitment. The idea behind this campaign is to show the feelings of real-life patients who want to thank doctors for treating them.”

    Created by Lowe Lintas, the video is about thankfulness, gratitude and hope. The fear, anxiety and loneliness that accompany the disease are much bigger than the pain from the illness and the video captures emotions of survivors towards the doctors and health workers who treated and cared for them.

    Lowe Lintas president – creative Madhu Noorani  said, “The idea comes very simply from genuine real-life narratives of patients who have been taken care of by doctors in their most difficult times. The film is a touching display of gratitude from these real-life survivors to their doctors who have gone beyond their duty as doctors, playing multiple roles to emotionally support these patients in their most difficult times in the hospital, simply captured in two heartfelt words – Thank you.”
