  • Cadbury Celebrations launches #CreatingMemoriesNeverClicked campaign

    Cadbury Celebrations launches #CreatingMemoriesNeverClicked campaign

    Mumbai: This Raksha Bandhan, Cadbury Celebrations introduces their heartwarming campaign, #CreatingMemoriesNeverClicked, allowing brothers to turn uncaptured moments into cherished keepsakes. Conceptualized at the heart of the irreplaceable sibling bond – full of unforgettable memories like playful teasing, or saving the last piece of chocolate – this campaign offers siblings a unique chance to express their love.

    With #CreatingMemoriesNeverClicked, the brand has rolled out a user-friendly microsite, where individuals can transform precious, undocumented moments from their memory into realistic photos. On the campaign website-www.cadburycreatingmemories.com, brothers can share their cherished memories that best define their bond with their siblings, along with accompanying photographs. Using cutting-edge technology, including AI and upscaling techniques, a personalized image of the memory is then recreated. Developed by Ogilvy India’s creative tech team, the site features facial restoration, out painting, and de-ageing to ensure a high-quality and enjoyable experience while adhering to ethical standards. Once produced, these images can be personalized and shared with siblings virtually or printed on a specially crafted Cadbury Celebrations box, making for the most perfect surprise on this joyous occasion.

    Mondelez India vice president of marketing Nitin Saini expressed his excitement about the campaign stating, “Each year we aim to capture the essence of sibling love and nostalgia, often focussing on the timeless memories shared between siblings.  Their bond is precious and unbreakable; they may fight, bicker and disagree, but at the end of the day, they care about each other fiercely. Raksha Bandhan celebrates this special connection, bringing siblings together to reflect and cherish what they have. Having shared so much of their lives, their relationship is filled with moments and memories that are wholly and truly theirs. Our effort with #CreatingMemoriesNeverClicked is to continue Cadbury’s tradition of enabling brothers to express their love and do something sweet for their sisters during Rakhi, and through this campaign, we want to help them relive their special moments and grow closer.”

    Ogilvy India chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak said, “There are albums and albums of pictures filled with special memories of siblings growing up together in every household. But still, some of these special memories often go unclicked. At Ogilvy, we believe in creating work that beautifully blends strong cultural insight with new-age technology, making it super relevant. So, this Rakhi we transformed the iconic Cadbury Celebrations box into a canvas that helps brothers create those unclicked moments which we always cherish. Making the Celebrations box almost like a time machine that helps siblings go back in time and create a moment never clicked as the most special gift this Rakhi for every sister.”

    Wavemaker India chief client officer & office head, West, North & East, Shekhar Banerjee said, “The blend of AI and emotions has opened up some great opportunities for us to transform last-minute giftee experience to a thoughtful gesture with the power of media. Leveraging a behaviour-based platform strategy to target brothers and cutting-edge media innovations, we are seamlessly integrating the communication across platforms to encourage brothers to play a more active role in a festival traditionally led by sisters.”

    #CreatingMemoriesNeverClicked builds on the TV commercial ‘Iss Rakhi, Kuch Accha Ho Jaaye, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye,’ and embodies Cadbury Celebrations’ commitment to making every occasion special.

  • Colgate Total unveils its new campaign ‘Har Bite Ho Right’

    Colgate Total unveils its new campaign ‘Har Bite Ho Right’

    Mumbai: Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd has launched a campaign for Colgate Total that encourages consumers to focus on proactive oral care. A recent Colgate study found that nearly half of Indians report dental problems, leading them to change their eating habits unconsciously. The new TVC for Colgate Total toothpaste highlights the product’s advanced science, which offers protection against issues like bad breath, yellowing teeth, and cavities, helping consumers maintain their eating habits without compromise.

    Conceptualised by team WPP@CP,  the campaign showcases Colgate Total’s patented DZA (Dual Zinc + Arginine) technology that addresses the root causes of dental problems. The TVC features a protagonist demonstrating various situations in a café where people alter their eating habits to avoid dental pain. The protagonist then explains how Colgate Total’s DZA technology provides complete protection from these oral health issues.

    Speaking about this newest campaign, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd executive vice president, marketing Gunjit Jain said, “Many of us do not feel that our oral health is at risk because we seldom see people like us having dental problems. But millions of Indians around us are unconsciously demonstrating visual signs of dental problems. Some have started eating from a preferred side of the mouth, some would rather cut an apple into slices than bite into one that’s full, some wait for their hot chai to cool a bit before they sip and so on. This has happened to members in our family, our friends or our colleagues. We can prevent this from happening to us simply by switching to Colgate Total, our advanced toothpaste that provides total protection. This is what our new campaign is all about – before dental problems change the way you eat, change to Colgate Total.”  

    WPP@CP executive creative director Juneston Mathana, while speaking about the campaign quoted, “The thing about ‘relatable behaviour’ is that you have to show it in the most relatable way. But just that could also get boring. So we introduced a little rhythm & rhyme with our partner-in-crime – Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy from Corcoise Films to make people aware of the subconscious compromises others are making out there. The result left people with something to chew on.”

    Disclaimer at the end of the note: Total protection refers to common oral cosmetic problems like bad odor, yellowness of teeth, cavities, etc.

  • Alembic CSR and Havas Life Mumbai unveil ‘Lullabai’

    Alembic CSR and Havas Life Mumbai unveil ‘Lullabai’

    Mumbai: In a remarkable fusion of technology and empathy, Alembic CSR, the corporate social responsibility foundation of Alembic Pharmaceuticals, in collaboration with Havas Life Mumbai, the healthcare communication vertical of Havas India, has launched ‘LullabAI’, an innovative AI-enabled platform designed to empower speech-impaired mothers. This platform will enable speech-impaired mothers to create personalised lullabies in their own voices for their babies. This pioneering initiative stands at the intersection of generative AI and inclusivity, setting a new benchmark for technological advancements with a heart.

    In India, lullabies are more than just songs. They are a profound cultural ritual. They represent a unique bonding experience between a mother and her child, playing a crucial role in a baby’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. For speech-impaired mothers, the chance to share this cherished tradition has long been out of reach. ‘LullabAI’ aims to bridge this gap, offering these mothers an opportunity to create lasting memories with their babies through personalised lullabies.

    “We are thrilled to introduce ‘LullabAI’ under our always-on initiative of #ForHerWithHer as a testament to our commitment to empowering mothers with a deep sense of purpose. ‘LullabAI’ exemplifies how technology can be used to create an everlasting bond between a mother and her child,” said Alembic Pharmaceuticals Sr. vice president & SBU head Atul Suri.

    “This initiative is a beautiful example of using tech to enhance lives and promote inclusivity. We believe every mother deserves to share her unique voice with her child, and ‘LullabAI’ makes that possible,” added Alembic Pharmaceuticals associate VP & business head Artica Rajpal.

    The platform harnesses re-imagined AI technology to transform short voice samples from speech-impaired mothers into lullabies. By employing advanced data cleaning, augmentation, and model training techniques, ‘LullabAI’ captures and applies the mother’s voice to a library of pre-recorded lullabies, creating a deeply personal and culturally relevant experience. The personalised lullaby is then available for the mother to play for her baby anytime.

    “Working on ‘LullabAI’ has been an incredibly rewarding journey,” said Havas Life Mumbai, India chief creative officer Sachin Talwalkar. “It made us push the boundaries of tech by re-inventing it to enable a maternal experience that’s profound and essential for early childhood development. It opens many possibilities for mothers and women, at large.”

    Havas Life Mumbai, India CEO & Havas Life Dubai (Middle East) regional head Sangeeta Barde added, “Our collaboration with Alembic CSR reflects our commitment to leveraging technology for social good and positively impacting business. ‘LullabAI’ is not just about innovation; it’s about touching lives and creating meaningful connections. We are proud to be part of a project that brings such joy and empowerment to mothers.”

    The platform – created in collaboration with Perpetual Block, a Pune-based tech company that specializes in leveraging emerging technologies, Rajeev Raja, Founder and Soundsmith at Brandmusiq, and Anmol Bhave, the multiple national award-winning Sound Designer – took six months to develop, to make the mechanism simple yet transformative. Upon logging into the platform, a mother can choose from a library of lullabies. She then needs to provide a 30-second voice sample, which is used to clean, augment, and apply her voice texture to the selected lullaby. The final personalised lullaby is added to her playlist, allowing her to “sing” to her baby in a way that is uniquely her own.

    Alembic CSR’s commitment to women’s health and inclusivity is further exemplified by this initiative, which aligns with their broader mission of supporting and empowering women through innovative campaigns and platforms. ‘LullabAI’ represents a significant step forward in creating an inclusive world where every mother’s voice can be heard and cherished.
