    Publicis India Crafts “Fabulously Futuristic” campaign for Enamor’s new lingerie

    Mumbai: Publicis India, part of Publicis Groupe India, has unveiled its latest campaign, “Fabulously Futuristic,” for Enamor, India’s premier lingerie brand. This groundbreaking campaign celebrates the active, modern woman and highlights the features of Enamor’s revolutionary “Innovations” line.

    Developed by Publicis India, “Fabulously Futuristic” is a series of six digital films that breaks away from traditional lingerie advertising and showcases the limitless power and grace inherent to everyday activities. Every film focuses on a product from the “Innovations” line-up, showcasing the unique features of each.

    The films showcase women in activities that embody strength and beauty, seamlessly integrating the product range while highlighting the unique benefits of each garment, such as flexibility, breathability, cooling support with N9 temperature control technology, eco-friendly fabrics and gel-filled cups for superior comfort and support.

    Publicis India’s ability to craft impactful narratives aligns perfectly with Enamor’s desire to showcase “Innovation” in a beautiful and inspiring way. This campaign is a testament to the agency’s ability to empower brands and consumers, connecting them on a deeper level.

    “Enamor has been at the forefront of innovation in the category for a long time. So, for the Innovations range campaign, we wanted the brand to claim what it rightfully owns. It showcases stylish, strong women flexing their bodies and possibilities in moments of complete unabashed freedom that the cutting-edge technology in the bras support them with. We chose artforms like ballet and aerial yoga to power punch the ‘proof of concepts’ beautifully. The music and movements are all a celebration of the Enamor woman’s free spirit as she moves into a fabulous future,” said Publicis India joint national creative directors Shitu Patil & Aman Mannan.

    The campaign itself comes from a basic human truth, said Enamor senior VP of marketing Sandra Daniels. “Lingerie is an extremely personal and fundamental part of a woman’s life. Not only is it a product she uses every single day, but also an essential experience for her as a woman. She wants to ensure that she is picking a piece that is perfect in every way- be it the perfect fit, the perfect fabric or the perfect style. With the Innovations campaign, we have aimed to address these concerns and all with the objective of allowing women to have the best lingerie experience, so they can be completely free and comfortable to explore and experience their most fabulous self.”

    Mumbai: Swiggy, India’s pioneering on-demand convenience platform has launched its latest Campaign, marking the return of its beloved trio: Gulaab Jamun Uncle, Aunty and legendary commentator Harsha Bhogle.

    The campaign features bite-sized ad films that humorously depict Swiggy’s commitment to on-time delivery, allowing Uncle to enjoy his favourite treats without interruption. In one of the ads, Uncle cleverly navigates his food cravings while Aunty prepares to attend a wedding, highlighting the quick and seamless delivery service. The ads use everyday scenarios to highlight the speed and convenience of Swiggy’s delivery service, resonating with cricket fans across the country.

    These bite-sized ad films, supported by legendary commentator Harsha Bhogle’s popular commentary pieces, showcase the fast-paced nature of Swiggy’s delivery service. The witty comparison to cricket aims to resonate with the massive audience of cricket fans in India. By focusing on a single delivered item, the ad subtly highlights Swiggy’s “no minimum order value” offerings and a special incentive of ₹150 off during the cricket season.

    Talking about Swiggy’s strategy on capitalising on one of its most-favourite campaigns of all time, Swiggy chief growth & marketing officer Ashwath Swaminathan  said, “The series featuring Gulaab Jamun Uncle, Aunty, and Harsha Bhogle is a much-loved one, so we are bringing it back for the continuing cricket season. The campaign highlights how we deliver food right on time to help Uncle enjoy his favorite gulab jamun. We are confident that this campaign will resonate with cricket fans across the country.”

    Indrasish Mukerjee, the director of the film, added, “Swiggy ads were iconic for the language they had set up a while back with the crisp, silent 20-seconders aided only by Harsha Bhogle’s voice. The format’s always challenging, especially with comprehension and one’s ability to land humor. But we were clear from the outset with what we set out to do, which helped, and it was an absolute pleasure to revive this format and bring Gulaab Jamun Uncle alive once again for this series of three films.”

    The Swiggy campaign will run across television, digital platforms, and social media.

  • Mamaearth and Swiggy Instamart unite to #GoGreen this World Environment Day

    Mamaearth and Swiggy Instamart unite to #GoGreen this World Environment Day

    Mumbai: Mamaearth, a brand for toxin-free and natural personal care products, is thrilled to announce its partnership with Swiggy Instamart for a special sampling activity in Delhi NCR in observance of World Environment Day.

    Through this initiative, Mamaearth will include complimentary seed samples with close to 30,000 orders delivered through Swiggy Instamart on World Environment Day. This joint effort represents more than just a campaign; it stands as a testament to both brands’ commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability. The brand believes in the power of small yet impactful actions, aiming to inspire new age consumers to begin their sustainability journey right from the comfort of their homes. Ultimately, it envisions a future where every home nurtures a thriving garden, every individual embraces an eco-conscious and sustainable lifestyle, and together, we co-create a world where harmony between humanity and nature prevails. Mamaearth chose to collaborate with Swiggy Instamart to leverage their extensive reach and engage a wide audience, promoting sustainability and eco-conscious living on a larger scale.

    The brand believes that goodness starts with the small choices we make every day, and this reflects in the choices the brand has made with its products and initiative like plant goodness where every order made on the website results in a tree being planted on behalf of the consumer. This initiative aims to promote afforestation, support farmer livelihoods, and foster sustainable coexistence with nature. The brand has been on a constant endeavour to serve consumers and society and make the world a better place.

    Honasa Consumer Ltd EVP and CMO Anuja Mishra commented, “At Mamaearth, we believe in the power of doing good to drive meaningful change. Through our partnership with Swiggy Instamart on World Environment Day, we are excited to engage with our consumers and encourage them to join us in our mission to plant goodness and make a difference for the planet. Beyond the immediate act of planting seeds, we aspire to ignite a sense of empowerment that these small activities can create for the collective good.”

    Talking about the initiative, Swiggy Instamart VP – category, growth & revenue Anirban Roy said- “We are excited to partner with Mamaearth on this meaningful initiative for World Environment Day. By including complimentary seed samples with 30,000 orders through Swiggy Instamart, we aim to inspire our consumers to take small but impactful steps towards sustainability. This collaboration not only highlights our shared commitment to environmental stewardship but also empowers our customers to contribute to a greener future right from their homes. Together, we believe we can make a significant difference in promoting eco-conscious lifestyles and nurturing a more sustainable planet.”

    The brand launched the plant goodness initiative with an ambition to plant 1M trees by 2025 and has already planted six lakh trees. In collaboration with an NGO and farmers for agroforestry, these trees have been planted in farmlands across Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. The saplings planted are fruit- bearing trees that help farmers increase income opportunities with the produce from these trees. The agroforestry approach doesn’t use the entire agricultural land, and the farmers continue to do their farming along with creating an orchard. This helps in creating carbon sinks in agricultural fields, thus moving towards the target of ‘Net Zero Carbon’. The brand has also created positive environmental changes, including the sequestration of 250,000 tons of carbon and the production of 500,000 tons of oxygen each year, while greening 3,500 acres of land.
