  • Bajaj Almond Drops ‘Load Mat Lo’

    Bajaj Almond Drops ‘Load Mat Lo’

    MUMBAI: In today’s fast paced world, people have the tendency of taking a lot of unnecessary load in their lives. These range from mundane worries like travelling woes, what to wear, need to be visible on social platforms, etc. to the more worrisome ones like extreme stress at work, health & financial woes etc. All these worries do take a toll on individuals who are often left wanting for a way out.

    This insight was the inspiration for Mullen Lintas Mumbai’s new campaign on Bajaj Almond Drops Hair Oil. Titled “the campaign features leading Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra as the protagonist.

    Bajaj Corp head of marketing Ameya Dangi said: “People don’t like oiling their hair regularly because they find some oils to be extremely sticky. It is like a “load” on their head and they have to put up with it for the sake of nourishment just like they put up with a host of unnecessary worries without a really good reason.”

    The film titled ‘Load Mat Lo’ begins with the protagonist being told by her partner about the hair oil that he has shopped for her. On seeing the bottle, she immediately cautions him that she doesn’t prefer taking the load of coconut oil on her hair. To elucidate her point, she conducts a small experiment on his head by placing a paper-weight on his head and comparing it to a feeling that one gets by applying coconut oil in one’s hair. But, with Bajaj Almond Drops, the feeling is just the opposite.”

    Mullen Lintas EVP Ayyappan Raj said, “The consumer of today is always on the lookout for innovation on a product or brand they endorse. With the hair oil category flooded with multiple players, it was imperative that we play up features of Bajaj that stand out. Thankfully, features like being the lightest in its category and fortified with 300 per cent vitamin E helped.”

    Bajaj Avenger tackles demonetisation in latest campaign

    MUMBAI: Since the demonetisation drive that was announced about a month ago, everyone is busy and caught up trying to find their wealth, namely materialistic wealth, but there is wealth beyond the usual definition that is spread out all around us. The mountains, the streams, the autumn leaves and nature as a whole. This is what the latest Bajaj Avenger film captures.

    Commenting on the need for the film, Bajaj Auto marketing VP Sumeet Narang said: “We, as a brand, understand Avenger riders really enjoy and cherish riding and value experiencing outdoors. They seek treasure on either mountain tops or some sunny beaches. When demonetization took the country by storm, we saw the subject of wealth accumulation from the riders’ perspective.” The film, conceptualised by Mullen Lintas Mumbai, highlights the underlying message of #RideDontHide.

    Commenting on the film, Mullen Lintas Mumbai EVP Ayyappan Raj said, “Bajaj Avenger has been engaging on social media with topical messaging for almost a year now – from IPL to Social Media Day to Brotherhood Day. And it has worked quite well for the brand. This time, there’s a POV that’s very true to the biker’s attitude/outlook and sincere to the brand belief. How does the Avenger rider look at wealth is the perspective that we’ve brought out in the current context. It’s already got a good response and has received positive comments & feedback.”

    Highlighting the creative thought process behind the campaign, Mullen Lintas NCD Shriram Iyer said, “A rider’s wealth is the experiences he collects while riding. Riding brings us closer to the wealth of nature. The current conversation about black money allowed us a powerful context to make this point. Acknowledging the beauty of the world around us will.”

    The video film has been launched on online platforms and has received a favourable response from the viewers in a very short span of time.
