  • eBay engages consumer with live game on FB

    eBay engages consumer with live game on FB

    MUMBAI: Festive season is a busy time for Indian brands, especially the e-commerce players given the shopping spree the nation witnessed around the time. Thus it becomes important to brainstorm on new and unique ways to get the consumer’s attention; something different from the unbelievable discounts that is default of the season.

    eBay India’s doing so by hosting the first ever Facebook live gaming event for its consumers called Dhanbola (online tambola). Hosted by stand-up comedian Zakir Khan, Dhanbola went live on October 25, from 4:00-5:00 pm on eBay India FB page, and was witnessed by over 7000 people live.

    The concept of Dhanbola was simple: over 5.6 million consumers on ebay.in had gotten codes that entitled them to participate in live Dhanbola event, witth prizes such as MacBook Pro, an Apple iPhone 7 or a Philips Bluetooth speaker up for grabs.

    “Our festive season in India, which started on 15 September and will continue till Diwali, is the most important time of the year for our business. These forty five days have been packed with multiple activities, be it exclusive launches, new products and attractive offers and discounts,” shared eBay India marketing director Shivani Suri.

    This year, eBay is especially looking forward to the festive given a huge jump in their over all product selection on the platform. Compared to last year’s three crore products, this year the e-commerce player boasts of 10 crore products on the site.

    Thus, unlike its usual presence on the digital platforms, this year eBay has launched a TVC campaign as well, with a shelf life of around six weeks.

    The e-commerce player’s latest TVC campaign titled #ThingsDontJudge highlights the variety of products that eBay has to offer while also turning materialism on its head. The caption for the ad sums up the idea behind the advert. It states that “Don’t let the voices hold you back. eBay has products that don’t judge you for who you are or what you believe in. They say just one thing – Live and let live.”

    Tying the TVC’s message with the latest FB initiative Suri had earlier said “Our recently launched TVC campaign #ThingsDontJudge struck a chord with consumers from different walks of life. Dhanbola is yet another industry first from eBay India to not only deepen our engagement with consumers on a platform which is preferred by them but also to celebrate the spirit of the upcoming festivities.”

    Apart from ‘Dhanbola’, eBay shoppers will be given a chance to engage with the stand-up comedian through several additional activities. Consumers can challenge the host for either a ‘Truth or Dare’, and/or a real time “Roast the Host.”

    eBay offers consumers the option to make purchases via EMI through ICICI, Citibank and HDFC credit cards. All purchases are covered under the eBay Guarantee which ensures refund or replacement in case a consumer is unhappy with the purchase.

    Culture Machine & Quaker Oats aim to feed kids

    MUMBAI: As the festive mood gathers spirit in the country, Culture Machine’s digital channel Being Indian, in collaboration with Quaker Oats, have released a new campaign. Titled “Ek Muthi Sonu ke Naam”, the video urges people to pause and spare a thought to the millions of children who go hungry.

    With hunger being one of the major causes of death around the world, the video is aimed at making the viewers sit up and take notice of this statistic. It is based on the vision behind the #QuakerFeedAChild initiative.

    “We believe that ‘Ek Muthi Quaker’ has the power to make a difference in people’s lives. Quaker Feed a Child is a social extension of what ‘Ek Muthi’ can do. The video articulates a powerful thought urging us all to make every festival more meaningful by simply pledging a fistful to feed a child,” said PepsiCo India VP nutrition category Deepika Warrior.

    Depicting the emotion of every mother’s desire to make sure her child does not sleep hungry, the campaign takes us through many homes depicting how much effort a mother puts into ensuring her child eats that one morsel of food. Yet, while a few mothers sing lullabies to cajole and feed their child, there are others who don’t have anything to feed theirs.

    The video ends with a call to action from chef Vikas Khanna with a pledge to feed a child this festive season, giving details on how one can make a difference.

    “It is saddening that despite the progress made by science and technology, hunger still tops the reason for death today. Along with Quaker, we aim to enlighten people about this and inspire people to make a change in their everyday lives in a way to contribute to the society,” read Being Indian’s statement.

  • Barbie’s ‘Power Of Play’: Mattel, BBDO remind parents

    Barbie’s ‘Power Of Play’: Mattel, BBDO remind parents

    MUMBAI: Mattel Asia has launched a new video for its Barbie® brand as part of its broader initiative to empower girls. Mattel Asia, takes on the widely held belief in Asia that imaginative play is not important to a child’s development, with the release of, “The Power of Play with Barbie,” a part of the You Can Be Anything brand campaign.

    “Barbie is the only brand that allows girls to imagine anything they can be. With this campaign we wanted to build an emotional connection with Asian parents by introducing them to the wonderful benefits of imaginative play and storytelling with Barbie to promote confidence and curiosity, said APAC Marketing director Andrea Vitali.

    Unlike in the western markets where Barbie has had decades of heritage, in Asia the campaign needed to show, not tell, millennial Asian moms the positive benefits of imaginative play that their daughters could develop when the play with Barbie. The centrepiece of the campaign is an online video structured as a social experiment. In part one of the experiment, five girls from Asia and Australia were asked to tell an imaginative story on the spot: the girls stalled, hesitated, and eventually gave up. In part two, the girls unboxed one of four Barbie products and were asked to tell a story again: this time, the girls naturally expressed inspired stories using Barbie to role-play and connect with others, demonstrating creativity, improvisation and emotional intelligence.

    “Building on the global success of the Cannes Lion awarded global campaign ‘Imagine the Possibilities’ we worked with BBDO Asia to develop an engaging video that we hope will connect with moms while communicating the values of our brand,” Vitali added.

    The campaign will launch across social and video platforms across Asia, including Facebook, WeChat, YouTube, and Weibo. In addition to the core video, the campaign will be supported by social-by-design content including snackable video, animated gifs and additional images to drive to e-Commerce. The campaign goes live on 25 October 2016.
