    Allen Solly launches ‘Open Work Culture’ campaign

    MUMBAI: Allen Solly launched its latest campaign by the name of ‘Open Work Culture’, recognising the importance of an employee friendly work environment in line with the brand philosophy of ‘Cool Work Wear’.

    Conceptualised by Ogilvy, the campaign highlights new age working principles like using environmental friendly commutes, bringing pets to workplace, taking time off work, comfortable work spaces that encourage employees to pursue hobbies. The campaign launched with a TVC talking about pet friendly workplaces and followed it with the celebration of cool commutes to work.

    Speaking about the campaign, Ogilvy senior CD Varun Katyal mentioned, “In the past, Allen Solly has redefined work wear. Carrying forward the same thought process, we cracked an idea that'll resonate with the workplace of the future and that's how #OpenWorkCulture was conceived. Now to launch this in cinema, we wowed our audience by making them experience an ad film rather than just watch it on the big screen. And that's what made it sticky and unforgettable."

    Allen Solly COO Anil S Kumar said, “Allen Solly’s Open work culture is a fashionable and functional take on the new age work environment and needs. With the new age audience, it is important to connect with them and create a memorable and charming experience. This activation is another experiment in that direction wherein we celebrate the 'open work culture' with a Cinematic flair.”

    Allen Solly also did an interesting site campaign at Phoenix Market City, Bangalore, promoting cool commutes to work. A guy came cycling into the theatre, just when the interval lights went on, and left the audience surprised. Once the stunt was over, the emcee took over and asked the audience if they cycled to work – keeping the philosophy of the campaign in sync. The viewers were also given free vouchers.

    LAYER’R SHOT launches new campaign with Varun Dhawan

    MUMBAI: LAYER’R SHOT has launched its new campaign and tried to break away from all the deodorant ads in the category. It takes a leap from the existing category clutter with its new refreshing thought of “Soch Ho Khushboodaar”. The campaign is conceptualised and executed by Triton Communications.

    Adjavis Venture MD Devendra Patel said, “It was very important to catch the pulse of today’s target audience – The Youth and the problems that they face on a regular basis. Triton understood this and captured the solution to this problem in a very humorous and beautiful way. The agency crafted a nice ending thought to the film – LAYER’R SHOT – Soch Ho Khushboodaar and the same was weaved in quite well in the storyline.”

    This campaign revolves around older adults who are judgmental about today’s youth. The brand has used this insight to offer their support to the youth by showing them that the new fragrance just spreads good thoughts and eradicates the negative/judgmental thinking happening around them. The brand launched six new fragrances with this campaign called LAYER’R SHOT MAXX.

    Triton Communications executive director Virendra Saini said, “LAYER’R SHOT has always been a product for the youth. The product has some amazing fragrances and at a very competitive cost. I feel that this campaign will give the product and the brand, the right push and will create a positive stir in the market where competition is really fierce. Also, Varun Dhawan is a perfect fit for this campaign as this product appeals to the youth and who better than Varun to represent today’s youth and their thinking. The script demanded someone who has humour and also, someone who can bring freshness and liveliness to the brand.” 

    LAYER’R SHOT's parent company Adjavis Venture was incorporated in 2013. It is a customer-focused organisation having experience in building and launching some of India’s foremost brands in the FMCG and OTC segments.

  • Swiggy launches fourth delivery partner-centric campaign

    Swiggy launches fourth delivery partner-centric campaign

    MUMBAI: Food delivery platform, Swiggy has launched the fourth video in its series of partner-focused campaigns with the intent of enabling consumers to empathise with Swiggy’s delivery partners and highlight the dignity of labour in what they do. The campaign has been conceptualised in-house.

    The #WhatsInAName campaign video aims to sensitise the consumers about how very often, albeit unknowingly, they tend to overlook the human element in their daily transactions with delivery partners.

    Swiggy VP marketing Srivats said, “Lakhs of Indians interact with Swiggy’s delivery partners each day. Our partners take unknown turns to reach unknown lanes to meet strangers with a smile on their face. The irony: they always remain unknown to consumers, very often just referred to as “Swiggy.”

    He added, “With the #WhatsInAName video, we want to change that and bring more dignity to the job our hunger saviours do. We’re glad that the video has struck a chord with so many users and hopeful of a day very soon, when our partners are acknowledged with their name and unique identity.”

    Conceptualised in-house, the video seamlessly blends a layered narrative about one’s identity. It showcases an intriguing flashback about the delivery partner’s name, and juxtaposes it in the present day, wherein it has become a practice to address them simply as “Swiggy”. The video, through Swiggy’s trademark understanding of consumers and delivery partners, conveys a powerful message that delivery partners – like each one of us – have a name and unique identity that they would like everybody to acknowledge.

    Dentsu Webchutney account director GD Prasad said, "Service industries have, until now, focused only on their end customer. However, another very important human element in this is the ‘supply chain’ – the delivery partner. From this human standpoint, this campaign sets a precedent for the industry – that delivery partner loyalty is as critical to a company’s growth as customer loyalty. We are investing in the power of human emotions with content across multiple, relevant touchpoints so delivery partners feel loved, recognised and respected for their unflinching efforts."

    Proir to this, Swiggy had also released a poignant tribute to the delivery partners on their fourth anniversary, recognising their contribution in making Swiggy a household name. The brand’s Diwali video explored another aspect of the journey of delivery partners, with the idea of giving back being at the heart of it. Its third video highlighted the importance of delivery partner safety. These three videos were conceptualised by Dentsu Webchutney.

  • Colgate Strong Teeth launches ‘Andar se Strong’ campaign

    Colgate Strong Teeth launches ‘Andar se Strong’ campaign

    MUMBAI: Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd, the market leader in oral care, has revealed two new TVCs  to launch its fresh campaign ‘Andar se Strong’ for its flagship brand Colgate Strong Teeth. It has also introduced a packaging change after over a decade. The TVCs have been created by RedFuse Communication.

    Both the TVCs convey how Colgate Strong Teeth adds natural calcium to one’s teeth, and are based on the theme that just like a mother raises her child to be strong from within, Colgate Strong Teeth too makes one’s teeth strong from within.

    The first TVC shows the protagonist – a young girl –  joining in to play football with a group of boys, overriding the resistance to her inclusion in the team with her confident smile and wit – a reflection of self-belief and inner strength. The second TVC features Deepika Padukone, shown alongside her mother – who has made the actress strong from within. Smiling during difficult moments, she says, symbolises ‘inner strength’.

    Speaking about the new campaign, Colgate-Palmolive (India) managing director Issam Bachaalani said, “Colgate Strong Teeth, our flagship brand, has been in India for over 80 years, and I'm delighted to announce our new brand campaign called 'Andar Se Strong' featuring Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone. This campaign reinforces our promise to guard and nurture you and your family's smile, by keeping your teeth strong from within.”

    The ‘Andar se Strong’ theme in the TVCs will be supported by a 360-degree marketing campaign to ensure that the new Colgate Strong Teeth communication reaches consumers across multiple touch points. It will be available across various retail formats at a variety of price points starting from a Rs 5 pack to a 500-800 g saver pack.

    Elaborating more on the campaign, RedFuse Communication creative director Sanjay Sipahimalani said, “In this campaign, we wanted to highlight that inner strength is most important to experience life to the fullest.  Both the TVCs focus on ‘Andar se Strong’ stories, but manifest in different ways. While the football tvc shows how breaking stereotypes and standing up for yourself takes inner strength, Deepika’s film is all about her personal ‘andar se strong’ story, which is what makes her the superstar and the person she is today.”  

  • Flipkart, Dentsu Webchutney strive for gender equality among children

    Flipkart, Dentsu Webchutney strive for gender equality among children

    MUMBAI: Curbing the age-old ideas of gender roles, Flipkart and Dentsu Webchutney have created an inspiring ad campaign promoting the new #GenerationEqual or “Gen-E”. The 2-minute long ad shows the new generation of kids striving for equality in all arenas—telling the parents how they would like to be raised.

    Speaking about the interesting campaign, Dentsu Webchutney senior vice-president – client services Prashant Gopalakrishnan says, “Look around you. Do you have a son, daughter, niece, nephew, or a friend’s child born a few years after the millennium? They are all part of #GenerationEqual. Real change will happen when we collectively decide to make the same rules that influence their lives. And as far as we can, let’s keep those rules the same for both boys and girls. That is the most real way to ensure our biases don’t pass on to them.”

     “As parents in 2018, we’d like to be progressive in letting our child choose for themselves in several aspects, so that they get to do what they love. Let the child experience the hobbies, passions, interests, and personality traits that come naturally to them… whether it’s a boy who wants to learn cooking, or a girl passionate about collecting superhero toys. And the other way around too,” says Flipkart director – brand marketing Apuarv Sethi.

    One of the biggest investments made by an Indian brand on the subject of gender equality among children, “Gen-E” is Flipkart’s third campaign to echo their new brand promise of ‘partnering with the progressive Indian’ via ‘Naye India ke saath’.

    In just a year of having started the new brand charter, Flipkart has campaigned on three distinctly different social subjects. With Penguin Dad, they celebrated fathers involved in child-raising; with Choose Your Age, they celebrated those defeating age with experiences; and now with Gen-E: they’re almost asking us to be what our children need us to, so that more and more of us can be celebrated.

  • DHFL Pramerica Life Insurance launches second film of #KalSePehle digital campaign

    DHFL Pramerica Life Insurance launches second film of #KalSePehle digital campaign

    MUMBAI: Life insurance Company, DHFL Pramerica has launched the second film of its three-film digital campaign – #KalSePehle, today to promote the importance of life insurance in an individual’s life. Through this campaign, DHFL Pramerica is taking on the behaviour of postponement around Life Insurance. #KalSePehle is a campaign for the typical procrastinator in every Indian and therefore aptly personified as Mr. Kal Se, because he postpones everything to tomorrow.

    The second film revolves around how Mr. Kal Se is lazing on a weekend. In this film, Mr. Kal Se is seen reading his newspaper and his son passes a football to him so that he could play with his son. However, Mr. Kal Se ignores his son’s request and asks him to postpone the game to the next day. The film then rewinds to the point where his son again passes the football to him and he promptly does a header to show the change in his attitude. This film highlights the fact that whether it is about securing your family’s future financially, or spending quality time with them, it’s best to act #KalSePehle, i.e. before tomorrow. Despite the clear advantages of purchasing life insurance, many people often procrastinate when it comes to actually purchasing a life insurance plan. People do not realise the importance of life insurance till they actually need it. Till then, it just keeps on getting postponed to another day, another time; even at the risk of their own family’s financial future.

    #KalSePehle is a three-part film digital campaign that addresses three different types of procrastination behavior. From procrastinating exercise to prioritise another hour’s sleep to postponing an outdoor game with children on a weekend or delaying healthy eating over to enjoy a sumptuous meal, this digital campaign targets it all. The series is part of a larger campaign with creative collaterals across online & offline media.
