    JOY launches personal care range for the sensitive skin of acid attack survivors

    Delhi: RSH Global, a personal care company in the business of skin care products, under its brand name of ‘Joy’ today, launched a new range of product suitable for the sensitive skin of acid attack survivors, JOY Sensitive.

    The ‘Joy Sensitive’ product range includes a face-wash, moisturizer, cream and sunscreen, designed keeping in mind the daily skincare need of a hyper-sensitive skin. These products are formulated with natural extracts of aloe vera & chamomile which moisturizes & soothes sensitive skin.  Aloe vera has cooling properties and is anti-inflammatory while chamomile is a natural antiseptic and is effective in soothing irritated skin and regenerating tissues. These products are Hypoallergenic Non-Comedogenic & Dermatologically Tested. Additionally, the products are colourless, sulphate free and are 100 percent vegan. Brand also unveiled the campaign ‘Skin of Courage’ and will undertake various initiatives under the same including employment drive for acid attack survivors, association with movie ‘Chhappaak’ supported by on-air and digital promotions.

    Speaking about this range Sunil Agarwal, Chairman, RSH Global said, “Globally, India tops for acid attacks and the existing products for the hyper sensitive skin of acid attack survivors are either rare, expensive or from derma category. Therefore, affordability played a major role in the product development – ‘Joy Sensitive’.

    The company’s endeavour has always been to deliver quality products at an affordable price and this has been the genesis behind this new range meant for hyper-sensitive skin. Personally, this is the most satisfying project in the last 30 years of my entrepreneurial journey & we all look forward to hear it back from the users.”

    Poulomi Roy, Chief Marketing Officer, RSH Global, said, “Make good quality product accessible to all at affordable price, has been the company’s purpose of existence. This project is a manifestation of the same and skin of courage campaign is a testimony of marketing with a purpose.

    Women from modest backgrounds often fall prey to acid attacks. Therefore, being a mass brand and having in-house infrastructure, R&D, resources and logistics, the thought raised was, can we develop a special product for them at an affordable price point? This is how ‘Joy Sensitive’ was born with robust research and innovation.

    Chhapaak releasing during the launch of ‘Joy sensitive’, triggered an association which was much beyond the usual promotions and the celebrity quotient. Apart from the co-branded TVC, we are organising a special screenings of the movie for over 200 acid attack survivors. We are also in the process of starting off a nationwide employment drive for acid attack survivors by associating with a NGO as a part of the campaign. The cause will be extensively promoted digitally as well.”

    It’s been an extremely gratifying experience for me to work on this project and we’ve long way to go.”

    RSH Global is ranked the seventh largest skincare company by turnover in the ₹13,000 crore skincare market, as per Nielsen MAT data 2018-19. It is aiming to double its turnover by 2022-23 to Rs 1000crore from ₹490 crore in 2018-19. It exports to 25 countries in Africa, West Asia and South Asia, & SAARC region.

  • Kotak Life Launches Digital Campaign Highlighting the Importance of ‘Complete’ Life Insurance

    Kotak Life Launches Digital Campaign Highlighting the Importance of ‘Complete’ Life Insurance

    Mumbai: Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Ltd (Kotak Life) today announced the launch of their new digital campaign, which highlights the importance of a ‘complete’ life insurance plan. Kotak Life’s #PooraPlan provides complete family protection that not only covers Life but also Critical Illnesses & Disabilities of the insured.

    Subhasis Ghosh, Head – Marketing & Group Insurance, Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Company Ltd, said, “Life insurance is usually purchased with the intent of saving tax and helping family tide over any unpredictable occurrence of death. But what happens in case of a serious illness or disability? It makes the purchased policy cover incomplete. Kotak Life’s #PooraPlan completes the incomplete by going beyond the conventional coverage and providing added benefits that cover disabilities and critical illness.

    “#PooraPlan aims at educating people and creating awareness about full coverage vis-à-vis traditional incomplete coverage. Our TG are adults who are 25 years and above, with increased focus on people between the age group of 30 to 45 years. Bollywood actor Vinay Pathak helps capture a serious topic in a light-hearted yet impactful manner urging viewers to be prepared for any tough situation”, added Subhasis Ghosh.

    The campaign is conceptualized and executed by creative agency Wunderman Thompson. Steve Priya, Executive Creative Director at Wunderman Thompson, elaborated on the ad film, “Until now, Life insurance as we know it is actually ‘After Life’ insurance. The category is built on taking care of your loved ones, after you’re gone. Death however, is just one of the outcomes. But what happens if you’re critically ill or suffer an accident that leaves you disabled. A tough conversation but one that was necessary. We decided to shake up the category and call any insurance plan that doesn’t cover every eventuality as ‘Aadha Insurance’. Subbu (Vinay Pathak) makes a comeback in a series of logical, practical yet lighthearted commercials and propagates the need for a complete or rather #PooraPlan from Kotak Life Insurance”.

On the occasion of Christmas, Godrej Ezee and CRY jointly kick-started this year’s Ezee Hugs campaign with celebrations and distributed new sweaters amongst underprivileged children in Delhi, Chandigarh and Lucknow.

    Every year thousands of underprivileged, school-going children across the Northern belt, bear the harsh winters without the warmth of woolens. Godrej Ezee wanted to build awareness about this winter related hardships and alleviating them. Thus, it started Ezee Hugs campaign for this important social cause. Over the years, Ezee Hugs has spread warmth by urging people to donate their woolens for children through this social good campaign. In the tenth edition, Godrej Ezee has raised the scale of Ezee Hugs by donating INR 1 from its own sales towards new sweaters. The campaign gives people a chance to contribute towards the noble cause by simply making a purchase.

Ezee Hugs, a noble initiative by Ezee that began in 2011, has grown over the last 9 years with the support of multiple stakeholders and offered warmth to thousands of children during the winters. This year, we are linking our contribution directly to that of the consumers. We are making Ezee Hugs a people’s movement and encouraging them to contribute to the cause by simply buying Ezee. We are happy to have CRY as a strategic partner this year to ensure accurate last-mile delivery of new sweaters to children across Northern region.”

    Commenting on Ezee Hugs campaign and its partnership, CRY Regional Director(North) Soha Moitra said, “In our journey over the past 40 years, we have always believed in the power of likeminded individuals and corporates to raise awareness for a cause, and it’s a pleasure for all of us at the CRY family as Godrej Ezee comes on-board with a cause related partnership. We are sure that this initiative will go a long way in keeping our children warm and protected during the winter days. I do hope that this initiative would send a message to all consumers, and give them a brilliant opportunity to come forward in championing a cause.”

    In its tenth edition, Ezee Hugs will be promoted over a two-month period through a multi-media campaign including TVC and digital films. This will be to raise awareness amongst people about the cause and encourage them to make their valuable contribution.

  • Platinum Evara’s campaign for new collection inspired by nature

    Platinum Evara’s campaign for new collection inspired by nature

    MUMBAI: Beyond her choice of couture, and wedding planning, the bride of today has come a long way in defining and knowing what she expects from her marriage. Armed with an education, a career and the empowering independence it brings, her choices and decisions are her own. She values traditions, rituals & set practices but has the ability to question and not blindly follow them. She seeks an equal partnership from her spouse-to-be and expects supportive in-laws – a true extension of her own family & support system.

    Earlier this year, Platinum Guild International (PGI) – India  in its campaign “MyFirstEvara” celebrated this new-age bride’s “rare firsts” – her new beginnings as she moves into a new phase of her life, tuning herself to a new atmosphere, fostering newer relationships, embarking on a fresh journey and adapting to multiple roles.  Her “rare” first moments & interactions charged with emotional meaning, occupy a special place in her heart. They form the founding blocks of her life’s new journey & are hence embedded in her memory forever. This season Platinum Evara celebrates another chapter in that course. The bride of today looks at her ‘first moments’ in her own way – being true to herself, her values & beliefs. She faces many societal challenges & expectations but she confidently negotiates them while expressing what truly matters to her. Without dismissing existing norms or rebelling without a cause – she stands assertive, optimistic & yet carries people along.

    One instance of a bride’s journey has been captured in a beautiful new film bringing alive this season’s #MyFirstEvara. The film opens with a scene where a mother-in-law is checking out a new house. This is the house that the daughter in law wants to move into to start her own journey. It captures the emotions that come along with a decision that has clearly not been easy on her – but one that she believes in & must follow. She stands up to her decision & is delightfully surprised when her mother-in-law reassures her that it is indeed the right one to make. The mother in law in fact backs her by telling her that “young couples need their space”. She helps her tide over her apprehensions comforting her & saying physical distance can never come in the way of a real connection! This special moment between them is marked with something rare – a piece of Platinum Evara.

    It marks the launch of a new collection from Platinum Evara inspired by Nature – a true tribute to the bride of today. Like the forms in nature, dynamically evolve, renew, transform and yet coexist with other life forms – leaving their mark, so does the bride of today. She breaks away from typical stereotypes and blossoms in her life after her wedding. This design theme hence mirrors her life stage.

    Speaking on the campaign, PGI director, consumer marketing Sujala Martis said, “The bride of today is no longer hesitant, nervous & full of self-doubt. She values her roots but always seeks newer possibilities of progressive change. She faces societally imposed norms yet, confidently negotiates them while expressing what truly matters to her. Our new collection inspired by nature is a tribute to her and this very outlook of hers”.

    “Modern women don't go by the stereotypes of a daughter-in-law and her relationship with her in-laws. It's a change that's the need of the hour and these brides of today aren't afraid to change societal norms. This campaign pays tribute to the women who have the rare qualities to go against the stream with nature-inspired platinum jewellery, marking these major milestones in her newlywed life,” said Dentsu Webchutney ECD Aalap Desai.

    The endearing new integrated digital and marketing campaign is currently live to promote the all-new range of Platinum Evara jewellery. The campaign is a 360-degree program led by a digital film and supported by a robust communication plan that includes Print, Digital, OOH and PR across markets to ensure high reach and frequency. The content across these mediums are focused to drive awareness and visibility for the new collection.

  • adidas launches campaign inspired by Real Kashmir FC fans

    adidas launches campaign inspired by Real Kashmir FC fans

    MUMBAI: Inspired by the support that Kashmir Football Club gets from its rivals’ fans, global sportswear giant adidas and Real Kashmir FC together unveiled the new design of the club’s 2019-2020 home jersey. They have dedicating it to fans of the club. The new colourways are an ode to the Unreal Fans of Real Kashmir who have made it the most loved clubs across the country

    RKFC, supported by adidas, have also launched a campaign to celebrate the new season adidas jersey and dedicated it to the “UNREAL FANS OF REAL KASHMIR”. The new season campaign captures the essence of change and a new phenomenon in Indian footballing history that Indian football has witnessed during the 2018-19 I-League season with Real Kashmir FC.

    The campaign rides on the insight, rather a unique trend, where fans of opponent clubs started cheering for Real Kashmir FC, as it became the second favourite club of opponent fans on social media. Fans from across India joined in conversations both on-ground and on social media to lead the voice of positivity. As RKFC travelled across the country, often, the club received standing ovations at away games from opponent fans, who did not switch loyalties but rather supported both clubs – a trend not seen before in football fanfare.

    The campaign takes a leap and showcases the faith that the fans showed towards Real Kashmir favourite club, as it acquires UNREAL fans from other sports, to fans that did not follow any sport in their lives, to anyone or everyone who has followed the RKFC journey till now and seen Real Kashmir through the lens of football.

    adidas India senior marketing director Manish Sapra commented, “Our journey with Real Kashmir has been unimaginable, unthinkable and unbelievable. Gets summarized in just one word ‘Unreal’. This campaign is dedicated to the Unreal Fans of Real Kashmir who may support other clubs but hold a soft corner for the snow leopards.”

    Real Kashmir FC owner Sandeep Chattoo said, “This is such a cool campaign to celebrate all the new fans who have started supporting us in our journey. When we saw the campaign for the first time, we absolutely fell in love with it. It beautifully brings together the various sentiments of numerous fans across the country.”

    The new season jersey has been carefully crafted, “Create. Believe. Inspire” written on the neck at the back, inspiring every individual to make a difference in their game, life and world. This season the yellow home jersey is accessible to the fans, available only in limited quantities across select adidas stores and online on starting from 21 November 2019, is built with adidas Climalite fabric and has the iconic adidas 3-Stripes on the shoulder.

    Cheil India ECD Aneesh Jaisinghani said, “Last year, the first timers, Real Kashmir Football Club team, received huge success and with that we observed a never-seen before trend on social media! The die-hard fans of opponent clubs began following and cheering for RKFC.  A die-hard football fan never cheers for any other team! RKFC was gaining popularity among these die-hard fans too! And thus, was born ‘THE UNREAL FANS OF REAL KASHMIR’ campaign. This initiative intends to throw a spotlight on all those UNREAL FANS of REAL KASHMIR and encourage them to share their love for the team! We have conceptualized 3 digital films with UNREAL FANS who will share their adulation stories for RKFC with the world. We hope to boost the energy of this team and make everyone notice them through these unreal fans!”

    Last season, adidas announced its partnership with Real Kashmir FC with an aim to inspire positive change by narrating the story of the ‘Snow Leopards’, as the club is popularly known. The story has redefined the 'Real’ Kashmir, with football as a catalyst for change. The result since the announcement has been unexpected, while on-field the team scaled unprecedented heights finishing third in their first appearance in the I-League, off-the-field it has led to unreal and unexpected outcomes as the message of positivity spread and made a REAL change.
