    Legrand India salutes electricians this festive season

    MUMBAI: This festive season, Legrand India, the global specialist in electrical and digital building infrastructure honours and celebrates electricians-the unsung heroes of Diwali.

    The company, as a part of its flagship ComeHomeToCelebrations campaign, announced its newest Diwali campaign where it salutes the hard-work of the electricians and surprises them and their family members.

    As a part of this campaign, the company plans to reach out to electricians from across 15 cities on ground and light up their homes while the electricians themselves are busy lighting our homes.

    Electricians are the busiest lot during festivities, especially Diwali. These heroes don’t get time to decorate their homes, celebrate with their families and it's because of them that any festival comes to life. Legrand captures this beautifully through a short digital film. The company will also associate with popular online influencers to maximise viewership for this film. The festive fervour will be brewing on the company’s social media channels on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube.

    Legrand India vice president marketing Sameer Saxena says, “Electricians are the backbone of the trade that Legrand is in and we wanted to do this for a very long time. This campaign captures the importance of electricians in our day to day lives and depicts how we are so busy in our lives that we sometimes don’t pay attention to people who help us make our lives simpler. This campaign is our way of paying tribute to all our electrician partners and we are emotionally invested in this campaign.”

    Commenting on the business objective behind the campaign, Saxena said, “The essence of #ComeHomeToCelebrations is celebrating family bonds, celebrating joy, love and sharing it with people around us. This campaign also derives from the same theme. Legrand India over the past few years has ramped up its digital presence through video based content and we want to present this film to our consumers so that they recognise and celebrate these heroes with us.”

    The company also wishes to strengthen its connect with its electricians and build greater affinity for the brand.

    The group has manufacturing facilities in 90 countries and its products are sold in over 180 countries.

  • Brand Factory takes a quirky take on how things go overboard during Diwali

    Brand Factory takes a quirky take on how things go overboard during Diwali

    MUMBAI:  Diwali known as the festival of lights, brings with itself a gigantic festive fervour that's filled with fun, happiness, love, family bonding, and not to forget — the gifting and shopping frenzy. And no brand wants to miss out the opportunity to connect with its audience through a heart-touching and emotional content.

    Brand Factory, breaking this clutter, has launched a digital film – #Diwali365Days, which shows there is every day Diwali at Brand Factory because of amazing discounts 365 days on 200+ fashion brands.

    The film captures the essence of how Diwali also means dramatisation of everything. There are countless greetings from random numbers to mandatory office celebrations to never-ending selfie sessions. It is something we don’t opt, but our celebrations are incomplete without it. Through a quirky narrative, the digital film showcases such instances which do get overwhelming. 

    The film was a big hit among millennials and garnered over 2 million views and 200+ shares in just 5 days.

    Brand Factory chief marketing officer Roch D’Souza says, “During Diwali, brands usually take an emotional or social hook to convey a message. But at Brand Factory, we decided to take insights from things that usually happen during Diwali and give a quirky spin to it. So, we decided to have a digital film which will resonate with our audience. At the same time, we ensured to enhance the brand proposition of discounts 365 days which the film does it aptly.”

    Brand Factory, a Future Group concept, is India’s leading chain of fashion discount stores with 72 outlets across 30 cities in India.

  • This Diwali Vodafone says, #LookUp

    This Diwali Vodafone says, #LookUp

    MUMBAI: From meeting family members, shopping for colourful lanterns and new clothes, enjoying homemade sweets, to shopping online, exchanging greetings on mobile, share update on social media, get gifts delivered on our doorsteps – Diwali celebrations have changed over the years, losing some of its familial togetherness to the easy lure of the digital world. Identifying the need for people to connect and have real conversations, Vodafone is again encouraging us to #LookUp and this time around, celebrate Diwali with our families, by keeping down our devices.

    Vodafone has launched a heart-warming video under its successful #LookUp campaign, urging viewers to celebrate Diwali with each other rather than with devices.

    The film brings out the changing nature of Diwali celebrations seen through the eyes of a kid. It shows the contrast between how Diwali was celebrated traditionally by the child’s father with lots of love and warmth and how it is perhaps celebrated presently. With its stark difference, the film shows how technology sometimes takes over and people lose out on the connections that really matter.

    Vodafone India EVP marketing Siddharth Banerjee says, “In the hyper-connected world, Vodafone again reiterates the need for real conversations, especially on occasions and festivals. Our #LookUp campaign has resonated well with our audience-generating online and offline talkability and driving up brand preference for Vodafone. Hence, after delighting our audiences on Valentine’s Day / Father’s Day and Friendship Day with #LookUp messages, this time around, we are extending our #LookUp philosophy to Diwali encouraging viewers to celebrate with family and friends in essence, the connections that really matter.”

    Ogilvy executive creative director Kiran Anthony adds, “In this film we see a modern family through the eyes of a child who while excited to read his dad’s essay on Diwali, sees the family around him in complete contrast. Our endeavour is to remind people that while phones do play an integral part in our daily lives, it is perfectly fine to put them aside during those special occasions & celebrate with your loved ones.”

  • Ghadi detergent launches new campaign for Diwali

    Ghadi detergent launches new campaign for Diwali

    MUMBAI: Ghadi has always believed in provoking its consumers to be more socially conscious and aware.

    Its campaign, #SaareMaelDhoDaalo has become synonymous with cleaning which goes beyond clothes. The campaign has not only made its way into the hearts of people, but the efforts towards initiating a social change also resulted in the campaign winning the Effie Awards 2017 amongst many others.

    In the past 2 years, Ghadi identified 3 key festivals of India and decided to propagate its philosophy of #SaareMaelDhoDaalo. It urged people to cleanse their minds of this deep-seated filth. Every single time, it identified and addressed a new notion of the mind and showed a mirror to the society.

    Continuing with the idea, the new campaign around Diwali tackles another kind of ‘mael’. This time, Ghadi urges its consumers to give each profession its due respect and not to belittle people for what they do.

    The TVC takes place inside every proverbial Indian household, where the domestic help is taken for granted. Their efforts and sacrifices go unnoticed. Often, their work is considered as “menial”. The TVC advocates the cleansing of this ‘mael’ through the story of a teenager. We see him constantly admonishing the maid’s efforts, until his mother asks him to step into her shoes. The lesson he learns is a lesson for us all. The campaign requests us to realise that no work is small. It urges people to realise the worth of every work that comes their way and understand the importance of people in their lives.

    ADK Fortune National Creative Director Akashneel Dasgupta says, “In continuation with our campaign, this is yet another aspect that we are trying to address. To restore dignity of work, whatever be the nature of it. This, we hope, will further strengthen Ghadi’s cleansing credentials in the minds of people.”

    The film has been conceptualised by ADK Fortune and executed by Full Circle Films.

  • Netmeds launches new TVC with MS Dhoni

    Netmeds launches new TVC with MS Dhoni

    MUMBAI: Netmeds.com continues to maximise its relationship with the icon who is, arguably, India’s most beloved celebrity, athlete and role model, MS Dhoni.

    Its first TVC release, The Gamechanger, set in the board room as the “selection committee” sets out to find the next great player, garnered millions of views as well as new customers, and its newest iteration promises to be just as entertaining.

    This time, Netmeds has moved from the board room to the locker room, with a surprise twist. Putting the company’s brand ambassador Dhoni in the locker room, and reprising his real-life role as a team leader, gives him an opportunity to exhort his teammates to “be fast, to be strong, because the country is depending on you,” words similar to those that he has spoken many times to his teammates. But when the camera pans out, the big “reveal” shows that the “team” is comprised not of Indian cricketers, but of the Netmeds’ young and eager delivery team – a smart way of tying Dhoni’s leadership skills to the dedication and work ethic of the Netmeds team.

    The TVC follows up on the previous message that established the brand as the “Gamechanger” in the online pharma space and emphasises the importance and the USP of fast and dependable delivery

    netmeds.com founder and CEO Pradeep Dadha says, “We’ve become the online pharmacy market leader by realising the need for intelligent, far-reaching and quick healthcare solutions in urban and rural areas, and fulfilling that need. A nation battling an annual rise in chronic diseases and faced with a shortage of doctors and limited access to medicine in 3rd and 4th tier cities and towns, needed a Gamechanger. That’s how we see our role and the public is telling us they agree.”

    MS Dhoni adds on his role in the new TVC, “It was a fun and easy to work in a setting where I’m so comfortable. I do believe Netmeds is a game-changer and I’m glad to support any effort that will make the country healthier.”
