  • Officer’s Choice Blue snacks launches a new TVC campaign

    Officer’s Choice Blue snacks launches a new TVC campaign

    MUMBAI:  Officer’s Choice Blue has launched a new advertising campaign ‘Salute to Banta Hai’ – communication that repurposes its long-standing platform of the ‘Good Samaritan’. The four TVC’s narrate testing situations, in slices of everyday life, and defines their actions to make for a better and caring world. 

    The communication conveys the ‘good’ in actions of giving way to an ambulance over a VIP vehicle, respecting the lowest ranks in office, concern to assuage apprehension of a woman traveling alone, and bringing help to people in need.

    The narratives create a strong people connect – with positive actions that are spontaneous and relatable- embedded in the belief, and keeping the faith in doing ‘good’. The TVC’s end with the tagline ‘Salute toh Banta Hai’ -which acknowledge the contribution of these everyday heroes. 

    The campaign has been conceptualized by Metaphor, A Triton Communication subsidiary and directed by Rajesh Saathi from Keroscene Films.

    Triton Communications national creative director Ullas Chopra said, “This has been quite an interesting campaign. The challenge was to present righteousness in a manner which is not preachy or confrontational. We decided to take an approach that applauds people for their efforts to do the right thing and be good Samaritans. Once in awhile we get an opportunity to work on communication that warms people’s hearts and remind people of their better side. The most satisfying thing for us has been how all elements came together – the storytelling, the music and the lyrics. We set out to touch hearts and I think we managed to do that very well.”

    Allied Blenders and Distillers VP marketing Ahmed Rahimtoola said, “The process, starting from segmentation research to effectively delivering on new communication, has been incredible. Officer’s Choice franchise is the largest in its category globally, and it is imperative that we deliver ahead of expectation. We take pride in the aesthetic communication which very strongly conveys the brand’s long–standing view on righteousness, and the need to bring about positive change.”

    Metaphor, a Triton communications subsidiary agency, has been roped in as planning and creative agency.  The film is produced by Keroscene Films and directed by Rajesh Saathi and produced by Harish Nambiar.

  • CBFC won’t ‘chill’; Pan Bahar ‘Bond’ ad banned

    CBFC won’t ‘chill’; Pan Bahar ‘Bond’ ad banned

    MUMBAI: CBFC has refused to ‘chill’ as per the wishes of the ad agency that conceived the Bond ad for a pan product. The Pierce Brosnan aka James Bond ad for the mouth freshener Pan Bahar has been banned from national and satellite television by the Central Board of Film Certification.

    Brosnan, as reported by indiantelevision.com, shocked everyone when social media got flooded with trolls and jokes around an advertisement flashing his picture holding a box of Pan Bahar instead of a gun!  The man who once defined style using his charm had now taken to Pan Bahar to look cool. Twitter, needless to say, had a field day, Indian Express reported.

    All tobacco, paan masala, alcohol ads are automatically and unconditionally banned, CBFC head Pahlaj Nihalani said. Even the liquor ads showing big stars like Saif Ali Khan and Shah Rukh, which play surrogate to sell alcohol products are illegal.

    When India woke up to a white haired Brosnan, peering intensely out from a full page ad on The Times of India, holding a jar of Pan Bahar, the nation did a double take. Soon enough, Twitter and Facebook was flooded with a wide range of mostly polarized reactions — from mildly amused to some outright offended.
