  • SBI & FCB Kinnect make loans a source of festive joy

    SBI & FCB Kinnect make loans a source of festive joy

    Mumbai: While consumers often enjoy making lifestyle upgrades during the festive season, the idea of taking a loan can be daunting. To change this perception, SBI, India’s largest public sector bank, has launched the ‘Celebrations Unlimited’ campaign, celebrating Indian consumers making significant purchases during the festivities.

    Conceptualized by FCB Kinnect, the campaign highlights SBI’s multi-loan offerings — car loan, gold loan, personal loan, and loan against Mutual Funds—that can enhance celebrations. Instead of a serious finance message, the campaign uses humor to show that taking a loan can be a cause for celebration, connecting with potential customers and positioning SBI as a preferred choice for festive loans.

    SBI DMD (retail – PB & RE) G. S. Rana said, “We’re not just offering loans, we’re empowering people to achieve their dreams. Festivities make even the smallest celebrations more joyful, and with the offerings we have, there’s no reason why loans can’t be celebrated as well.”

    FCB Kinnect & FCB/SIX India CCO Neville Shah added, “This is the time where you bring new joy into your life. Why let anything stand in the way, especially when the product is here to make it happen? So why not celebrate it? That’s exactly what we did.”

    FCB Kinnect & FCB/SIX India CEO Rohan Mehta said, “Relatability fosters a sense of connection and draws people closer to the brand. Many individuals share similar feelings about taking out a loan. FCB Kinnect has once again demonstrated how a simple insight can transform into a powerful creative idea that truly resonates.”

    PayU unveils ‘One PayU’ brand ad film

    Mumbai: Following its recent brand refresh, PayU, a digital financial services provider, has launched the ‘One PayU’ brand ad film. This initiative aims to increase brand awareness and position PayU as a unified digital financial platform, highlighting its role in enabling digital payments, credit solutions (LazyPay and PaySense), and PayTech as a service (PaaS) through Wibmo.

    The film addresses a key challenge: while consumers interact with PayU’s products and services, they may not recognise PayU as the force behind them. Whether making payments, applying for credit, or using financial services, PayU is integral to the digital commerce ecosystem, though often unnoticed by users.

    PayU chief investment and transformation officer, Vijay Agicha said, “The ‘One PayU’ film highlights our commitment to creating a seamless digital financial services platform for our customers. This film is designed to raise awareness about PayU’s role as the engine behind 90 per cent of digital transactions in India. While PayU operates with quiet efficiency, powering a vast range of digital payments, this campaign creatively brings our vital role to the forefront. Our refreshed brand identity marks the next phase of growth as we unify our offerings across payments, credit, and financial services, continuing to deliver innovative, integrated solutions for all our stakeholders- businesses, consumers, and financial institutions.”

    The ad film by Sideways Consulting opens with a young boy making an online purchase and thanking a PayU character for enabling the transaction. PayU is portrayed as a key enabler of digital financial activities, from loan approvals to payments, with users showing gratitude as the PayU character navigates everyday scenarios. This emphasises PayU’s role in supporting digital commerce across India.

    The six-week ‘One PayU’ campaign will target a 3.5 crore audience and aim to raise awareness among five crore more consumers. While digital platforms lead the campaign, there will also be traditional media and OOH components. PayU will use programmatic and data-driven marketing, with connected TV (CTV) playing a significant role. Initially focused on eight metros, the campaign will expand to tier two and three cities, telling PayU’s story to users of its products.

    As PayU expands in India’s digital financial services, the company is committed to serving all stakeholders through a unified suite of services, reflecting its core values of ‘customer Centricity,’ ‘Trust,’ and ‘Innovation.’ This marks a new phase in PayU’s mission to build a comprehensive financial services platform for businesses, institutions, and consumers.

    Mumbai: BN Group’s flagship brand Simply Fresh has launched the #DiwaliKeBaadKiSafai campaign, encouraging people to extend cleanup efforts beyond pre-Diwali preparations, focusing on maintaining cleanliness after the festival in both homes and surroundings.

    In India, it is a tradition to clean houses before Diwali to welcome prosperity, but neighborhoods often remain cluttered after Diwali. The campaign promotes continuing the festive spirit by keeping communities clean. It features a grandmother teaching her grandchild that Diwali isn’t complete until both the house and neighborhood are clean, emphasizing community responsibility after the celebrations.

    BN Group CMO Kiran Giradkar said, “Diwali is a time for joy, togetherness, and tradition. While pre-Diwali cleaning is common in every household, the real challenge lies in maintaining that cleanliness after the celebrations. With #DiwaliKeBaadKiSafai, we want to inspire people to take collective responsibility for keeping not just their homes but their surroundings clean. At BN Group, we consistently focus on the bigger picture, crafting campaigns that go beyond business to make a positive impact on society. Whether it’s our Ganpati or Durga Puja campaigns, our aim remains the same: to stay grounded with good intentions, contributing in meaningful ways to make the world a better place.”

    The campaign will be rolled out across multiple platforms, where Simply Fresh invites everyone to share their post-Diwali cleanup stories using #DiwaliKeBaadKiSafai.

    This campaign follows the success of Simply Fresh’s recent initiatives, such as the #BappaHiBatayenge campaign during Ganesh Chaturthi, which highlighted the cultural connection between families and traditions, and the #HarLadkiDurga campaign during Durga Puja, which emphasised the warmth and significance of family gatherings. Simply Fresh continues to support fresh ideas that not only resonate with people’s hearts but also promote positive social change.
