    Mahindra Two Wheelers takes experiential route with new campaign

    MUMBAI: Mahindra Two Wheelers is pushing its recently launched premium 300cc touring motorcycle Mojo, with an innovative campaign that highlights the joy in the journey through user generated content.

    Aimed at the 20 something bike enthusiasts who love the dusty rugged roads and the experiences that come with it, the 360 degree campaign titled ‘Born for the road’ is to unravel in stages starting with the digital leg.

    Launched in October 2015, Mahindra’s Mojo is positioned as long distance touring vehicle priced at a premium rate of Rs 2 lakhs (on road) approximately. So far the brand has sold 1000 units of the model. Given the fact that it is a flagship launch from Mahindra in its two wheeler segment, a bulk of the company’s marketing budget is being dedicated for its promotion, with no fixed limitations as off now.

    On the need to launch a bike in this new space Mahindra Two Wheelers, Marketing and Product Planning senior GM Naveen Malhotra said, “Mahindra is known for its daredevil and adventurous nature. While our four wheelers give off that image, we are also associated with a racing tournament to further establish ourselves as a sports brand. Secondly there is an increasingly emerging batch of consumers who love the lifestyle that comes with long bike journeys and on road travel. It was a space we wanted to enter given the growing demand for good quality bikes that are comfortable to ride long distances in.”

    But with several well-known brands like Harley Davidson, Royal Enfield and Bullet already crowding the segment, it was a challenge to establish a market for Mojo as the first choice for the Indian long road traveller.

    “We firstly wanted to build credibility in the customer’s mind aiming our marketing initiatives at the motorcycle enthusiasts. We needed them to understand that the makers behind this two wheeler get what they want from a long distance ride. We started off with a Maker’s Trail, and took some media on a two day bike trail with us,” Malhotra added.

    “From the product perspective, there are several differentiators that Mojo enjoys but more than that, what separates Mojo from the rest of the two wheelers available in this segment is the package we offer. A person going for this high range two wheeler is buying it more for the experience and that is exactly what we provide.” Which is why the two wheeler’s campaign also surrounds the experience and the lifestyle of a wanderlust who is in love with the road rather than the ‘cool’ specs the bike has.

    Conceptualised by Flying Cursor and directed by Littil Swayamp Paul, the TVC released showcases a bunch of free spirited youngsters who enjoy the journey as they cruise through several Indian cities, highways and villages, with a stress on the harsh terrain routes.

    Interestingly the TVC also features a well done cover of Muddy Waters’ Got My Mojo by popular blues band Blues Band Soulmate.

    In fact, the brand has made a conscious effort to pick passionate riders for the film shoot instead of regular models and taken them on real joy ride while shooting the entire ad film.

    “Barring two, most of the boys and girls you see in the video are hard core riders. We needed them to understand the nuances of a road trip rather than simply posing with the bike. Not to mention we needed them to ensure a long and gruelling road trip across Rajasthan for the shoot. Our whole idea was to make people experience what a road trip is like – the camaraderie that comes from riding together to the excitement finding little joys in the simplest of things, or even finding a very delicious food in an unexpected roadside dhaba. We shot across in various locations in Rajasthan, ensuring that none of them has appeared anywhere before,” explained Flying Cursor director & co-founder, Shormistha Mukherjee.

    The highlight of the campaign is the clever use of user generated content the brand plans to use with the secured footages from the long bike ride the agency and the brand arranged for the film shoot.

    With an aim to engage consumers on a one on one basis, and to let them experience the product, the brand has conducted several long bike rides for the enthusiasts with the last one being a four day trip across 1000 kms covering several well-known wildlife sanctuaries in South India. There are plans to conduct two more long bike rides with the Mojo Tribe, the next one being a mountain trail.

    “We don’t see this campaign ending with the TVC launch. We have far wider plans to engage our consumers through fun user generated content that we have acquired through the trips with Mojo Tribe. Each one will tell an interesting story to the audience through our digital and social media touch points,” Malhotra promised.

  • Don’t cover-up imperfections: says Grey’s new campaign for Kamdhenu Paints

    Don’t cover-up imperfections: says Grey’s new campaign for Kamdhenu Paints

    MUMBAI: Grey group India launched a new television commercial for the brand, Kamdhenu Paints.  The campaign comes with the objective of showcasing Kamdhenu as a brand of paints that doesn’t just hide or mask imperfections, but is a concrete solution for them.

    The campaign extends from an inherently Indian insight where most of us indulge in quick-fix cover ups rather than finding proper solutions. If there’s dirt on the floor, we often cover it with a rug. A mark on the wall is often hidden by a portrait. A stain on the couch is often accounted for by flipping the cushions. We’ve all at one point or the other indulged in something similar. Kamdhenu Paints offers customers to make an informed choice to beautify wall surfaces of their homes, offices and other premises through the attractive and wide range of color shades offered by them.

    “In a category obsessed with swirls, mosaics and textures, the campaign re-purposes paints in the minds of the consumers. Paints are not just meant for beautification. They are equally responsible for rectifying and improving the condition of the wall they’re used on,” shared Varun group India ECD Varun Goswami.

    The campaign line, ‘Chupao nahin sudharo’ propagates the message of finding solutions over a superficial cover-up. The campaign features a TVC, supported by press, radio and on-ground & digital activations.

    “In a category where the top three brands have huge ad spends, it is very easy to get drowned by sticking to the category codes. For a challenger brand, it is very important to have a perspective that is differentiated and manages to make its mark with a very limited spend. Chupao Nahin, Sudharo retains why paints are primarily used and links to the larger social context.” added Samir Datar, Vice President and Office Head, GREY group India, Delhi.

    Pepperfry to spend Rs 10 crore on latest 360 degree campaign

    MUMBAI: Pepperfry has taken on the task of expanding the online furniture category through a new 360 degree marketing campaign.

    The campaign comprises three creative executions which will be aired on television, across digital video channels and in multiplexes. This 360 degree campaign will also include outdoor, a bouquet of digital media including Search, display and Social channels. Pepperfry’s outlay on this campaign is expected to be above Rs10 Crore.

    Commenting on the objective of this campaign, Pepperfry CMO Kashyap Vadapalli said “Our goal is to help 20 Million customers create beautiful homes by 2020. In these last few years, Pepperfry has reached a tipping point amongst early adopters and via this campaign we will expand the market by going up the product life cycle curve to address the early majority of shoppers.”

    Talking about the insight and idea, Law & Kenneth Saatchi and Saatchi VP Debarjyo Nandi explained, “There are several of us who believe that getting furniture made at home will give us more control and get us exactly what we want. The problem is most of us are not sure of what we really want and what we are really getting into. The noise, dust, displacement, delays and budget overflows make it an even more painful process. Pepperfry is the easier and simpler solution to getting your furniture on-time, at a fixed price and the design and finish you want.”

    The customer insight behind Pepperfry’s new 360degree marketing campaign reflects furniture made at home brings with it the physical inconvenience, time escalations, budget overruns and a lack of design/functional fidelity.

  • Lowe Lintas Chennai creates campaign for Hercules Roadeo

    Lowe Lintas Chennai creates campaign for Hercules Roadeo

    MUMBAI: Hercules Roadeo boasts of stylish steel and alloy designer frames that make it the preferred choice of the young guns today. To further demonstrate this, TI Cycles has rolled out a campaign that establishes the dominant positioning of Hercules Roadeo.

    With the underlying message of ‘Never Challenge a Roadeo’, the campaign – conceptualized and created by Lowe Lintas Chennai, describes the attitude of the youth when they are posed with a challenge and how they don’t just overcome it, but do so with style. 

    The campaign idea has been derived based on the insight of 8-14 yrs. old urban boys, who strive to be better than their friends and peers and be the ‘coolest’ one in their group.

    Commenting on the new campaign, TI Cycles of India president Arun Alagappan said: “We needed our brand Roadeo to keep up with the ever changing consumer and look cool and contemporary. It needed to connect and engage emotionally with the teenage boy of today, thus the new brand thought of ‘Never Challenge a Roadeo’ was born. Credit goes to the team from Lowe Lintas Chennai for understanding the mandate and delivering creatively with an exciting new thought that is sure to resonate with the new-age Roadeo consumer.”

    Sharing his thoughts on the creative execution behind the campaign, Lowe Lintas Chennai ECD Bikramjeet Ghosh said, “In a time when teens spend most of their time immersed in their devices, healthy competition between friends has jumped from the playground to the screen. It was challenging as well as exciting to find a contemporary and fun way to show how a kid overcomes a challenge by upping the ante in the real world rather than the digital world which leaves his buddies awestruck. The story captures two interests of any boy – stunts and video games, which resonate in the hearts of our target audience.”

    The campaign has just been launched and will span popular offline and online channels in the coming days.
