  • Digi Osmosis unique campaign for ‘Ki & Ka’

    Digi Osmosis unique campaign for ‘Ki & Ka’

    MUMBAI: Digi Osmosis has crafted a unique campaign for R Balki’s latest production Ki &Ka from the T-Series Films stable by creating a special app for the Ki & Ka facebook page. Once the viewer has watched the trailer on Facebook, a question pops up asking the viewer ‘Who are you in your life, Ki or Ka?’. It further asks  viewers if they are the independent, career-oriented, outspoken Ki or the homely, loving and caring Ka. 

    After the viewer answers and clicks the share button, the trailer is shared on the user’s timeline on Facebook with another caption – ‘I’m Ka in real life but you know, ??????ling (Feminine) and ???ling (Masculine) means the same thing!’

    Commenting on the campaign Digi Osmosis founder Manish Kumar said, “For this trailer, the strategy was simple; there are thousands of people who identify with Ki&Ka on a very personal level. They will find it to be a very interesting activity and in turn share it with their friends. Their friends in turn, find it a quirky and engage with the trailer, repeating the process. This encourages share-ability, a factor crucial for social media and creates a simple viral chain garnering the reactions required. ”

    Ki & Ka director and producer R Balki mentioned that “It has been a terrific learning experience for me working with the Digi Osmosis team. I gave them the trailer of Ki & Ka and they just had a few hours to convert it into an active engagement piece rather than a passive experience. They developed an app embedded in the trailer to make the viewer see herself/ himself as the characters in the story and respond. Simple. Innovative. And really on the ball.”

  • Reebok India new brand ambassador Kangana Ranaut salutes #FitToFight women

    Reebok India new brand ambassador Kangana Ranaut salutes #FitToFight women

    MUMBAI: Continuing its global mission to change how people perceive and experience fitness, Reebok India just ‘raised the game’ with its new #BeMoreHuman campaign, featuring its newly appointed brand ambassador Kangana Ranaut. The fully integrated marketing campaign, releasing today on International Women’s Day, aims to inspire women. It is a tribute to the modern day Indian woman, telling her that she is fit to rise above stereotypes and carve out her own destiny.

    The pan-India campaign centres on a TV commercial that will unveil Ranaut’s inspiring life story through the lens of fitness. In the new campaign, Ranaut will be seen challenging herself with various fitness activities including functional training, dance, yoga, kick-boxing and others, thereby communicating the overarching brand message – ‘how fit you are defines how far you go’. Her call is an encouragement for all women, asking them to raise their game in the face of challenges while being calm and composed when a storm hits.

    Commenting on this launch, Reebok and Adidas India MD Dave Thomas said “Reebok in India is strategically focused on winning in fitness in 2016 and beyond. This inspiring campaign helps to cement Reebok as the leading fitness brand in the women’s category and we are delighted to partner with Kangana Ranaut, who is not just a Bollywood superstar but an achiever in every sense of the word. Being as rebellious as she is, Kangana has broken all stereotypes and has never been overwhelmed with the many challenges that have been thrown at her. We salute her spirit and the spirit of all women who have faced obstacles and continue to challenge themselves daily in search of greater rewards. Digital activation #FitToFight is at the centre of this campaign and we are confident that consumers will relate to this strongly. We are certain that Kangana’s powerful personal story and fitness journey will inspire many – women and men – to embark on their own fitness journey and become better version of themselves.”

    Sharing her excitement about the association, Ranaut said, “I have always been a Reebok fan. Their products and campaigns have always inspired me. When they came to me, it was a natural fit and I was extremely excited to be associated with them. I feel that anything in life can be accomplished if we believe in ourselves. Today’s women should stay fit in all aspects, be it physically, socially or mentally. This ideology echoes with Reebok’s overall positioning and I am delighted to be the face of the brand, helping them push this message further. I look forward to encouraging millions of other women to take a plunge with me and not just become fitter, but stronger and better versions of themselves. I hope this campaign will be able to inspire not just women but also men.”

    The ad campaign will be supported by an extensive 360 degree marketing approach including TV, Digital, Print, Radio, OOH & Retail. In addition, the creative visuals featuring Ranaut will be in the primary windows at 184 Reebok stores across India. The new collection is available at Reebok stores, shop4reebok.com, Myntra, Jabong and Amazon. The advertisements will be aired nationwide starting 8 March 2016.
