MUMBAI: Percept/H, the flagship advertising agency of Percept Limited, has bagged the account of foodpanda, a food ordering platform. The multi-agency pitch was won by Percept/H and is pegged at approximately Rs 1 crore.

The foodpanda account will be handled nationally with supervision of client operations from the Percept/H Delhi office.

The brief given to Percept/H by the foodpanda team prior to the pitch was to encourage the target audience to download the foodpanda app and make it the most popular and accepted way to order food.

Percept/H conceptualised and created a unique idea that ensured a complete repositioning and enhancement from the existent promotional line ‘Your favourite food just a call away’ to the cool ‘Don’t Call, Just Install’ tagline, thereby highlighting the convenience USP of the app.

The six-week long campaign blitzkrieg will encompass commercial advisements, radio spots, mall activations, and corporate events. With mobile apps being the next big thing, foodpanda has definitely attained the first mover advantage by paving the way ahead and breaking through the tiresome process consumers have to undergo of calling a restaurant and ordering vis-a-vis utilizing an app that not only saves time and energy but also serves up a phenomenal range of offers and discounts.

foodpanda CEO (India) and CBO (Global) Saurabh Kochhar said, “Our constant endeavour at foodpanda is to curb the food ordering ruckus in India. Through the TVCs, we aim to capture the value additions that our services bring to the customer via the app. The availability of this app not only scratches down the cumbersome task of searching for phone numbers and ordering, but also offers consumers convenience to choose from a huge number of options.”

The agency plans to take a 360 degree creative and media approach encircling multiple platforms including print, outdoor, television, radio, B-T-L and social media.

Percept/H COO Jiten Bhagat opined, “It is a matter of great pride to be associated with a revolutionary brand like foodpanda. We are glad to have received this opportunity to be a part of their visionary growth journey.”

Percept /H chief creative officer Ryan Menezes stated, “We’re absolutely thrilled with this win and even more excited with the creative opportunity to work for a young, exciting, evolving brand like foodpanda. We’re looking forward to doing some outstanding work with them.”

Percept/ H – Delhi SVP S Suresh added, “foodpanda wanted to reinforce itself as the go-to place for customers primarily for the diverse options they offer and for the convenience of ordering. To achieve it, we created fun commercials through some everyday situations that all foodies can relate to. At a time when we rely on technology for everything, there’s no reason why we should resort to obsolete ways for ordering food, and this messaging has been very effectively portrayed in our creative communication.”

Percept/ H – Delhi executive creative director Siddhartha Bindra commented, “It was great fun to work on foodpanda. It’s a young brand in every sense, led by and targeted at young people. As a client, they appreciate bold ideas and have an infectious enthusiasm in everything they do. We expect to do some great work for foodpanda in the coming year.”
