    Good Vibes ropes in Yami Gautam as its brand ambassador

    Mumbai: Good Vibes, a Purplle-owned skincare brand, has announced Yami Gautam as its brand ambassador. The Bollywood actor will feature in the brand’s first full-scale campaign introducing Good Vibes and its signature Rosehip range.

    As a brand ambassador, Gautam will accelerate the brand’s mission to deliver ingredient-led skincare to women across the country. “In the recent past, she has emerged as a strong influence for embracing her natural self and has inspired women to explore their natural beauty. This has strong synergy with the brand’s belief of using natural beauty ingredients while staying away from harmful chemical ingredients,” said the brand in a statement.

    In keeping with the same spirit, Good Vibes and Yami join hands to launch the first-ever brand campaign #GlowKaMissingPiece. The campaign will be a series of two films and multiple shorties with 200+ influencers amplifying the campaign across social and digital channels. The film sees Gautam imagining, in a fun playful manner, how marriage would feel if critical elements at different ceremonies were missing. 

    “My perception of beauty has always been to be your natural self in what makes you comfortable, and it feels great to work with a brand that echoes the same values,” said Gautam. “Good Vibes is truly a brand that demonstrates the purity of nature in its products and has over time become a confidante for all my beauty needs.”

    Good Vibes offers an array of skincare and haircare solutions, including, face wash, serum, facemask, shampoo, shower gel, and facial oils, all inspired by nature’s goodness. “The brand was born out of the consumers’ need for accessible, ingredient-led natural skincare products,” stated Purplle.com chief business officer Nippun Aneja. “Yami, with her charm, confidence, and authenticity, exuberates beauty for all. With her strong connect with the Indian audience, we envision Good Vibes reaching every household across the country.

    “As we kick-start our first campaign, #GlowKaMissingPiece, we will continue to create magic with Yami, inspiring women to be their best selves,” Aneja added.

    “In a cluttered beauty space of sameness, with #GlowKaMissingPiece we found the right balance for a light hearted story told through Yami Gautam. A striking visual that also communicates the larger product benefit of a healthy natural glow,” said Ideas Farm director – brand services Priyanka Dey.

    Flamingo renews collaboration with Hrithik Roshan as brand partner

    Mumbai: Flamingo, a flagship consumer healthcare brand of Ascent Meditech Ltd, has renewed its brand partnership with Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan.

    With the continued collaboration with the star, Flamingo aims to sustain and magnify their vision of ‘Making the World Pain Free.’ Over the years Hrithik has epitomised fitness, trust and quality, fundamentals that resonate with the brand’s aesthetics, functionality and product portfolio, said the company in a statement.

    Talking about the collaboration, Hrithik Roshan said, “My association with Flamingo comes from my history of dealing with aches and pains through my journey as an actor, where I’ve had to put pressure on my body for various requirements like performing action or a difficult dance step. From a disturbed nights sleep to hindering the most basic daily tasks, pains lead to unrest in the mind and body.”

    “The products offered by Flamingo serve as pain relief solutions to various types of injuries. With over 30 years of being in the market, Flamingo has observed the physical struggles of the public and developed aids to live pain-free. I’m happy to be associating with a brand that works wonders for me personally,” added the actor.

    The renewed collaboration will kick start a 360-degree brand campaign that will engage the existing and potential brand audience through diverse media interfaces such as television, print, digital, BTL and DTH network, said the brand.

    Ascent Meditech Ltd founder and MD Rajiv Mistry said, “Our partnership with Hrithik has been going very strong and our flagship brand Flamingo, has now emerged as one of the Most Trusted Brands in India. Through our earlier campaigns, brand Flamingo has been able to cement its space in the consumer’s mind as a ‘Trusted Partner in Pain’ offering ‘An Aid for a New Life’. Hence, when the question of renewal of association came, it was a no-brainer, for myself and my team.”

    “During the initial years of the association, Flamingo with its 350+ products had focused its efforts towards corporate umbrella branding with the objective of garnering awareness among the targeted audience. This renewed association would see brand Flamingo unfurl a campaign where our Brand Ambassador is seen using Flamingo products to combat pain and partaking in everyday activities,” Ascent Meditech Limited VP Sales & Marketing Rakesh Kumar said.

  • Fino Payments Bank ropes in Pankaj Tripathi as brand ambassador

    Fino Payments Bank ropes in Pankaj Tripathi as brand ambassador

    Mumbai: Fino Payments Bank Ltd (FPBL) has brought on board actor Pankaj Tripathi as brand ambassador.

    During the two-year engagement effective 1 September, Tripathi will be the face of FPBL’s marketing campaigns across various platforms. He will work with the brand in promoting its products and services, said the statement.
    “This is Fino’s first-ever opportunity to have a brand ambassador, a milestone in itself,” said FPBL MD and CEO Rishi Gupta. “Pankaj’s personality resonates our brand values and we believe the association will go a long way in not only achieving the desired top-of-the-mind brand recall but also in bringing about a paradigm shift in consumer behaviour towards the adoption of digital banking.”     
    FPBL’s target segment, the emerging Indian customer is someone who has low levels of financial literacy, technology use, lacks financial inclusion and typically does not have access to basic banking services. On this front, the actor’s rich repertoire of rustic, familiar, and relatable characters across Hindi and regional films ring a bell, said the company in a statement.

    “The most important step on who would personify the brand, is the match between the brand’s attributes and those of the celebrity,” stated FPBL CMO Anand Bhatia. “Tripathi brings to the table a pan India connect and an appeal that is in sync with Fino Payments Bank’s values of being grounded, real, sincere, honest, competent, and hardworking. He is a self-made man, just like our self-made bank.”

    “When I heard about Fino’s ‘Fikar Not’ approach I was instantly connected to it as that is how I have lived my life,” said Pankaj Tripathi. “I owe my success perhaps to this way of thinking and that’s why I immediately agreed to associate with the brand.”
