    Dentsu Aegis Network reaches out to 2500 children on ‘One Day For Change’

    MUMBAI: Dentsu Aegis Network organised the third edition of its corporate social responsibility programme, ‘One Day For Change’, on June 3, 2016.

    With children playing the central role in the programme this year, the India chapter of this global initiative successfully reached out to as many as 2500 children across the country. An estimated 1,500 Dentsu Aegis Network employees across offices in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, and Kochi were engaged to execute the project, “Champions For Children”.

    In India, the key focus of the ‘One Day For Change’ (ODFC) programme was held across four categories – digital, education, health and entertainment.

    As part of the digital push, the network’s Delhi office visited Kushi Rainbow Girls Home to donate laptops and conduct sessions on excel & IT skills. Meanwhile, the employees also visited the Earth Saviours Foundation and interacted with more than 300 mentally challenged children.

    In Mumbai, Dentsu Aegis Network touched the lives of 1100 kids across nine child welfare organisations. It is pertinent to note here that the Dentsu Aegis Network employees also created a Fun Fair for more than 200 children suffering from various forms of cancer to entertain them all through the day. The event was attended by none other than Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, the chief guest for the day at the Tata Memorial Hospital, Parel.

    The company also arranged an educational excursion for 100 underprivileged children, supported by Umang Foundation, to Nehru Science Centre, Worli. Additionally, the group set-up a dental health check-up camp at Madras Wadi, a slum area near Worli, where 300 children turned up for the event.

    The network was sub-divided into teams of 20-50 in Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Kochi. Each team visited a particular child welfare shelter to execute a variety of creative workshops.
    Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai also tied up with various hospitals and NGOs to organise a blood donation drive for kids with Thalassemia and Cancer. Over 250 bottles of blood were donated by Dentsu Aegis Network staff across all regions.

    Ashish Bhasin, Chairman & CEO South Asia Dentsu Aegis Network said, “One Day For Change is extremely important to us at Dentsu Aegis Network. It gives all our employees an opportunity to give back to the society, as a team. More important than what we volunteer in kind and cash is the time we all volunteer together. We hope to continue many of these activities throughout the year. It really feels good, as a team, to be able to do our bit.”

    One Day For Change is an annual social commitment by the Dentsu Aegis Network, where employees from each of the countries are encouraged to go out and volunteer on the same day.

    Last year, over 800 employees volunteered in India contributing 2,200 staff hours. While the final numbers are still trickling in, it is estimated that in 2016 in India 1,500 employees volunteered over 6000 staff hours for the One Day for Change initiative.

POS (Point-of-sale) systems for payments acceptance has been colossal failure in India due to prohibitive costs. Mobile phone is ubiquitous device for merchants ranging from grocery seller to a Doctor who pays for premium listing on Askme or a restaurant manager/owner who offers awesome deals fornext Sunday Brunch. Askmepay aims to be that vehicle that allows payments for these scenarios in both online & offline world. ”

    Creative Director Karan Narvekar said, “The idea behind ‘Baap of all Pay apps’ was to showcase how today’s generation use mobile apps & services to their advantage. The whole concept of cashless payment which is the trend of the new age is reflected through this campaign with range of offline services and online products available on AKSME Network of apps.”

  • Airtel’s new postpaid campaign urges customers to ‘Waste Nothing’ and make the most of their mobile expenditure with MyPlan

    Airtel’s new postpaid campaign urges customers to ‘Waste Nothing’ and make the most of their mobile expenditure with MyPlan

    MUMBAI: Sasha Chhetri, the Airtel 4G Girl, is back once again and this time she is telling customers to stop wasting the benefits that come with traditional postpaid mobile plans and move to Airtel MyPlan to get the best value for their monthly mobile spends.

    Commenting on the launch of new marketing initiative, Mr. Srini Gopalan, Director – Consumer Business, Bharti Airtel said, “Airtel MyPlan is designed to simplify the postpaid customer experience and offers them the flexibility to create their own plans. The new campaign is based on a simple consumer insight – that a lot of postpaid mobile users end up with plan benefits that they never fully utilize and end up wasting these benefits month on month. MyPlan addresses this problem by giving customers the freedom to choose what they actually need in their postpaid plans and gives them absolute value for their spends by eliminating any wastages.”  

    With traditional postpaid plans offering pre-defined voice/data/SMS benefits, customers end up wasting some of these benefits as their actual usage/requirements may be very different.

    *For example, if a Delhi customer is primarily using mobile apps like WhatsApp/Hike etc. for texting, why have hundreds of free SMS in the plan. Why not have the option of trading the free 200 SMS of the existing plan for 90 local minutes or 120 MB 4G/3G data?

    *Also, if one is a heavy data user and hardly talks, why have too many free calls in the plan? What if the Mumbai customer gets an option for trading the extra 450 Local minutes of their plan for 600 MB 4G/3G data? 

    *Customers also have the flexibility of changing their MyPlan whenever they want. If they are going for a vacation, they can always switch calls to data so that they have ample data to navigate, find the best restaurants or just upload vacation pics in real-time. Again, helps optimizing phone bills every month and waste nothing.

    *Not just that, under the plan, customers can also share the extra benefits with their family by getting one member connection at a nominal rate of Rs. 199/year. No separate rental is charged for the member connection.

    (*The above mentioned plans are purely for illustrative purposes. For more information on plans, per your requirements, please log on to www.airtel.in/myplan and click ‘My Plan’)

  • Godrej’s #DeoReborn and #DeoCalculator campaigns for Cinthol DeoStick

    Godrej’s #DeoReborn and #DeoCalculator campaigns for Cinthol DeoStick

    MUMBAI: Angels falling and women chasing men are the kind of commercials that are conventionally seen for deodorants. For a fairly significant amount time deo promotions have revolved around opposite gender fantasies and attractions. But today, with digitization and social media, promotion campaigns have become much more interactive with consumers.

    Godrej Consumer Products Limited Head – India and SAARC Sunil Kataria says that consumers have matured in today’s times and even while chasing image building for brands, the campaigns have to be rooted firmly to the ground.

    Recently, Godrej launched Cinthol DeoStick in the market. The campaign for the product is majorly focused on digital platforms. It started with the #DeoReborn campaign and then the #DeoCalculator was run as a sub campaign. Kataria says that the basic idea of the promotion comes from the product. As most products in the market are spray or gas based, Cinthol DeoStick is a deodorant for solving real problems. Even after so many brands marketing them heavily, the market penetration of deodorants is only 18 percent. Cinthol Deostick aims at increasing the users for deodorants in the country.

    Cinthol deostick started with #DeoReborn campaign whereby the three barriers of deodorants were promoted. Contrary to norm, the campaign’s message was that Cinthol DeoStick was non-alcoholic, lasted long and was cost effective. Playing on the ‘price quotient’, the social platform offered a great medium for Cinthol to reach out to its consumers.

    The idea was to show consumers what they could do with the money they saved if they bought Cinthol DeoStick. This triggered the concept of #DeoCalculator. All that the consumers had to do was to share the price of their deodorant on Twitter using hashtags #DeoReborn and #DeoCalculator. The #DeoCalculator generated a quirky customized infographic giving them options on how they could put the money saved to better use.

    The Twitter campaign was run for 2 days. This campaign is also running on other platforms like television and radio. The brand has also taken up activation events focusing on college campuses for better product interaction with the target audience.

    The DeoCalculator campaign has been designed by Creative Land Asia. According to the brand, the campaign received 2274 tweets and 2443 posts. 169 tweets were posted from the official handle @GodrejCinthol in response to Twitter users tweets.

    Kataria says that Godrej has been involved with many other audience engagement campaigns earlier also with products like HIT by launching a mobile app with dengue stories. He says that any brand that intends to reach out to the youth has to adopt the digital platform. His company has increased spends over the last two years on the digital platform and has plans to further double spends on the digital medium, he informs.
