    Cut The Crap launches design unit

    MUMBAI: Cut The Crap, a Mumbai based creative agency, has launched its design unit – Design Sell, which will focus on brand identity, packaging, digital and 3D designs and BTL amongst others. 

    While the unit will work as a part of the agency, it will function independently with a separate team. The new entity Design Sell will be headed by Renuka Desilva.

    Cut The Crap founder and creative head Jagdish Acharya said, “I am excited to announce the launch of Design Sell. Cut The Crap has made its mark as a creative boutique for brand building. Design Sell derives its DNA from Cut The Crap. Design is never without a marketing purpose, the objective of design in the world of brands is to sell and to therefore it is imperative that design be strategic and a part of the brand building ecosystem. Therefore, the name Design Sell. The need was felt to launch the division on its own so it can be nurtured and grown to its true potential.”

    Speaking on the potential, Acharya added, “The demand for strategic design has been growing and not just from one-off clients looking for logos, brand identity and such. We work a lot with start-ups. Some of them need only design inputs first and a full service creative interface later. Then there are those who use only BTL as a medium of brand building and they need it to be managed through strategic inputs similar to ATL.”

    Design Sell creative director and head Renuka Desilva said, “I am looking forward to building Design Sell on the terra firma of strategy and creative foundations of design. It is the understanding of brand and marketing needs that will differentiate us from other design houses. Our aim over the next two – three years will be to build a strong portfolio that showcases our point of difference. Business will only follow.”

  • O&M’s new Fevicol TVC takes bonding to the next level

    O&M’s new Fevicol TVC takes bonding to the next level

    MUMAI: Adhesive brand Fevicol has rolled out a new ‘Govinda’ themed TVC based on ‘dahi-handi’ celebrations to reinforce universal bonding that the brand has come to stand for.

    Conceived and developed by Ogilvy & Mather, the TVC highlights how a strong bond and teamwork are central to forming the several-storey high human pyramid that characterizes ‘dahi-handi’ celebrations. 

    Through the trademark ‘humour’ that Fevicol ads are known for, the TVC reinforces the promise of a strong bond that binds people to their culture, strengthening Fevicol’s positioning of being the ultimate adhesive.

    Ogilvy & Mather – South Asia executive chairman and creative director Piyush Pandey said, “Fevicol has always stood for ultimate bonding. Bonding beyond its physical manifestations, bonding of culture and humanity. The new film takes the festival of Govinda (Lord Krishna’s birthday), which is celebrated across the country by people making human pyramids to climb and break the clay pot, which is symbolic of Lord Krishna stealing buttermilk from the Gopis (or Gopikas which in Sanskrit refers to a person in charge of a herd of cows). Fevicol in its tongue-in-cheek humour has created a hyperbole by making a pyramid that can even move from one location to the other.”

    Pidilite Industries CMO Vivek Sharma added, “Over the years, Fevicol has established itself as an iconic brand that has become synonymous with forging a strong bond. Fevicol has embedded itself in Indian consciousness and culture and is now part of everyday lingo. The new TVC reflects this generational bond and affinity that the people of India have for Fevicol.”
