    Dentsu Webchutney launches #EveryoneOnFlipkart ad campaign

    MUMBAI: Flipkart’s latest series of films bring out human stories from different walks of life, generations, and cultures to highlight the simple ways in which Flipkart has become the common thread connecting the nation and its aspirations. Conceptualized by Dentsu Webchutney, this campaign aims to influence people who’ve been resisting shopping online. It seeds the fact that everyone you love, trusts Flipkart, so you should too.

     
    The first film, Rastogiji On Flipkart, is the story of the ‘gyaani’ of every group guilt tripping his friend for cheating on their neighborhood shopkeeper Rastogiji, by shopping on Flipkart leading to an unexpected and heart touching twist in the end. The other three videos are equally real and are truly inspired by real life characters. From the story of your favorite “know-it-all” Mausi, to that friendly smart-alec watchman to the true-blue Mumbai cop, these films bring out the charm of what makes India, India.
     

    Speaking about the campaign, Flipkart marketing VP Shoumyan Biswas says, “At Flipkart, as the market leader, we believe that driving market development and accelerating adoption across different consumer segments is one of our key focus areas. Born from that belief, #EveryoneOnFlipkart digital campaign brings to us a series of short films that have been inspired from different walks of life, generations and cultures. Using simple and yet powerful, everyday slice of life narratives, these films show how Flipkart has become the common thread connecting the nation and its aspirations. And how it has earned the trust of every Indian and become an integral part of our everyday lives. These films therefore are a tribute to every Flipkart shopper across the country, an invitation to everyone else to start their online shopping journey with usand a reflection of our commitment towards organizing and democratizing retail in India.”
     

    The campaign, slated to run for a couple of weeks, will also have a series of contests to engage audiences. Dentsu Webchutney ACD PG Aditya says, “The idea was to create great content that ‘happens to be an ad.

    The fact that Flipkart has been a brand led by human stories only made that easier. As an agency, we’re extremely proud of these films. And to think they were produced as a digital-first effort only furthers my belief that this unsaid ‘caste-system’ of platforms that’s there in advertising is rapidly breaking loose.”

    What is truly unbelievable is that these films were shot in a stringent two-day schedule. Gajraj Rao, director, (Code Red Films) who is extremely choosy about the projects he takes on, says, “It takes time to tell a compelling story; the fact that I wasn’t restricted by a fixed duration was what excited me to take this up.”

  • NDTV and Diageo launches second season of Road to Safety campaign

    NDTV and Diageo launches second season of Road to Safety campaign

    MUMBAI: After a successful launch, United Spirits-NDTV Road to Safety, a Diageo initiative returns in its second year to address one of the biggest concerns for the Indian government and society today the appalling state of road safety in our country.  Last year, to make India’s roads safer, a 7-point road safety agenda was presented to the government. The agenda covered a lot of aspects ranging from the laws that need amendment to the traffic police force that needs training.

     

    This year too, the campaign attempts to address this issue by encouraging citizens to take a pledge to never drink and drive. As a part of this initiative, in conjunction with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways a special talk show was hosted with the honorable Minister of road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari at the Gateway of India, Mumbai.

     

    Union Minster for Road Transport & Highways, Nitin Gadkari stressed on the importance of making airbags mandatory in every type of car. It is the primary duty of the government to establish measures to protect the life of people irrespective of caste or creed. He further highlighted the significance of having a scientific process of issuing licenses. 30% of driving licenses are bogus. He promised to open 3000 centers in the country for driving and fitness measurement in order to procure those licenses He also requested people to identify accident prone areas on highways and report them on the government website. There are a total of 726 accident and black spots in the country. The government is investing 11,000 crores to improve the condition of these spots and working in the right direction to make Indian roads safer.

     

    In its second season, United Spirits-NDTV Road to Safety, a Diageo Initiative, a social campaign attempts to make our roads safer and reduce the number of ‘preventable accidents’ by encouraging citizens to demonstrate more responsible behavior behind the wheel. While lack of awareness, bad road designs, poor maintenance of roads is definitely a part of the problem, a majority of the accidents are a result of drunken driving too.

     

    This year, the event was attended by some of the country’s leading experts, policy makers, and NGO’s to highlight local issues, agendas and recommendations for the road ahead. 

     

    Speaking about this landmark initiative, United Spirits Ltd. business head luxury vertical and corporate relations Abanti Sankaranarayanan said, “The United Spirits-Diageo ‘Road to Safety’ initiative aims to create the necessary impact to address the abysmal state of road safety in our country. In collaboration with local and national partners – the government, civil society, individuals, families, and the industry; we aim to take Phase-II of the programme to greater heights by encouraging more people to drink responsibly and put safety first.”

  • Water Communications unveils new ad for Marshalls Wallcoverings

    Water Communications unveils new ad for Marshalls Wallcoverings

    MUMBAI: Mumbai based communications agency Water Communications recently unveiled a new campaign for Marshalls Wallcoverings – ‘Design Wala Colour.’

    The campaign reflects that design is indeed an important element in our lives. However, when it comes to our walls, we think only in terms of colours and not designs. The ad stresses on the point that by adding designs to our walls, we can make the world around us even more beautiful.

    Speaking on the new campaign, Water Communications director Vandana Sethhi said, “When we think of renovating our homes or offices, we immediately start thinking different colours for different rooms and walls but for everything else in life, we always think Colurs plus Design. So the idea is instead of thinking mere colour for our walls, we think design wala colour.”

    “Marshalls Wallcoverings has pioneered the concept of wallcoverings in India. With ‘Design Wala Colour’, we once again intend to highlight to our audience the fact that walls, like other elements that are part of the home décor need to be designed and not just coloured. Take for example – windows, they are an extension of our walls and we invest a lot of time and money to get the best patterns and designs for the curtains. Similarly, we need to change our outlook towards our walls as well and go beyond just colours,” added Marshalls Wallcoverings director Mona Menon.

  • Max unveils ‘Khel Fauladi’ themed campaign for Pro Wrestling League

    Max unveils ‘Khel Fauladi’ themed campaign for Pro Wrestling League

    MUMBAI: Multi Screen Media (MSM), which acquired the broadcasting rights of the Pro Wrestling League for five years, has unveiled it’s new blood boiling campaign for the same. Wrestling is a physical sport, which makes the blood boil and the campaign in that sense does justice to it.

     

    The campaign theme in the debut season is Khel Fauladi and has been orchestrated by DDB Mudra. The campaign focuses on skill, strength and endurance as well as centres on putting one’s weaknesses aside, while bringing out the fighter spirit.

     

    Khel Fauladi consists of two TVCs, one targeting the men wrestlers while the other provokes the eves. Two distinct teasers will support the TVCs.

     

    The tournament is scheduled to start from 10 December, 2015 and to generate awareness MSM has already started showcasing the TVCs within its network. “From tomorrow the TVCs will be seen across multiple channels including the kids and news genres. Besides television, we will also promote the league through outdoor and print medium,” Sony Max, Sony Max2 and Sony Mix senior EVP and business head Neeraj Vyas

     

    MSM will broadcast the league on three different channels, which cater to a mix of audience. “Sony Max caters to the HSM (Hindi Speaking Market) while Sony Pal gets the DD Direct audience on board. Sony Six will cater to the urban audience,” informs Vyas.

     

    While Sony Pal and Max will air the Hindi feed, the English feed can be watched on Sony Six. The network is not planning to create any special pre or post show programming. “We will start with the start of the match and our coverage will end as the match ends. Time constraints did not allow us to create any exclusive programming, which is something that we are known for. In the future we might explore opportunities of creating special programming but not this time,” explains Vyas.

     

    In recent times the sports ecosystem has witnessed a lot of collaborative approach between broadcasters and league owners, which spelled success for both. In this scenario too, the two stakeholders are working closely to make things beneficiary in the long run. “It is a partnership and we are working on things together. There will be a few breaks, we have a rough playout ready with us and we will work it out with the league owners. In terms of production and packaging too, we are forging forward with a collaborative effort,” says Vyas.

     

    While cricket continues to be the leader, non-cricket sports which were considered as flying bubbles have started to establish themselves. After Kabaddi’s success it was just a matter of time before another sport was converted to a well packaged “league.” And wrestling grabbed the joint attention of Kartikeya Sharma and Vishal Gurnani’s joint venture ProSportify.

     

    Vyas is of the opinion that two upcoming big budget wrestling based films Sultan and Dangal starring Salman Khan and Aamir Khan respectively will heavily promote wrestling in India. And hence it is one of the best time to start a wrestling league. “Pro Wresting will have all the best wrestlers pitted against each other in both men and women categories. So in terms of quality it will be a sheer experience,” Vyas adds.

     

    The broadcaster is yet to close any sponsorship deals but negotiations are on its last legs with a few brands. Vyas asserted, “The advertisers’ reaction has been very good so far. We have made good progress in such a short span of time and soon we will be in a position to reveal a few names.”

     

    Now it remains to be seen how the new addition to the league business unfolds as the days go by.

     

  • Asian Paints Ezycolour urges people to live in harmony with its new campaign

    Asian Paints Ezycolour urges people to live in harmony with its new campaign

    MUMBAI: Asian Paints Ezycolour Home Solutions unveiled a new campaign to create awareness about its newly launched Green Painting Service (GPS), an eco-friendly water based paints range for all surfaces.

     

     

    The campaign conceived by digital advertising agency FoxyMoron, spreads the message of living in harmony with nature and encourages people to ‘Think Different’.

     

     

    To bring the message to life, the campaign was planned and executed in two phases. In the first phase, three locations in Mumbai with high visibility were shortlisted to create one-of-a-kind murals that had nature as part of the street art.

     

     

    The second leg of the campaign took the offline initiative online with a film that captures the stories of the three artists and why they chose art as a way of life.

     

     

    Speaking more about the campaign, Asian Paints, group brand manager- services Aupam Kumar said, “Asian Paints has been a pioneer in the paint industry in developing better and safer products for consumers. Eco-friendly and water- based paints have long been considered the future of paint technology. The day has come where this future has definitely arrived with the launch of Green Painting Service by Asian Paints Ezycolour Home Solutions.”

     

     

    “For the first time, customers will get the opportunity to have water-based paints applied on all surfaces in their homes. This makes home painting a great experience and helps our customers live in harmony with nature, as well. With an aim to give back to nature, we have taken up an initiative to paint the Mumbai streets green with our products and communicate the message of migrating towards a “Green world” to everyone. This is just the beginning and we would like to do more on this front in the future.”

     

     

    FoxyMoron co-founder Suveer Bajaj said, “Ezycolour Home Solutions treats each home as a piece of art, so we thought why not use that to spread the message of living in harmony with nature! Our idea was to take the message to the streets through murals that evolved and revolved around nature and then further leverage this online through a heartfelt film. The film adds another dimension to the campaign with its captivating storytelling and aesthetics. We hope that the concept of nature and art resonates with the consumers and helps Asian Paints amplify the message that all beauty comes from our planet and what we do to spread this beauty can now be given back to nature.”

  • Best Deal TV seeks out women entrepreneurs with #WeRespect campaign

    Best Deal TV seeks out women entrepreneurs with #WeRespect campaign

    MUMBAI: Known for its celebrity brand endorsements, Best Deal TV was recently lauded for going ‘people first’ with its notable campaign on women empowerment. Best Deal TV now seeks out women entrepreneurs with the #WeRespect campaign Devised to shout out its new policy that offers women consumers to exclusively become its Direct Channel Agents (DCA), the campaign has already garnered a positive response.
    A DCA’s role is simple. “Their job is to book orders for us from our mobile app or paper catalogue. For every successful order best deal pays a commission to the agent. We will also handle the advertising training for the fulfilment of the order,” informs Best Deal TV, CEO Raj Kundra.
    Elaborating on the concept, Kundra says, “The idea was to empower women who were keen to create an income working from home or as a second job for further financial stability.” Given that the channel’s 70 per cent target group are women, the campaign can also surge up the viewership, Kundra feels.

    When asked how being a DCA for the channel would empower women, Kundra explains that the system works on simple commission basis.  “We pay very good commissions on each successful order and a DCA can build her army of sales personnel under her wing, making a commission even on their sales. The idea is with minimum headache to give maximum benefits to the DCA agents to become financially independent selling our exclusive and innovative products,” he adds.
    Having his wife and company shareholder, actress turned entrepreneur Shilpa Shetty Kundra as the face of the campaign also benefits greatly, Kundra admits. “Home shopping as a business runs on trust and credibility so having Someone like Shilpa and Akshay as faces and co-owners in the company makes a huge difference. Cricket and Bollywood are two things that help sell everything in India, and if used properly can be a winning combination, which is the founding thought behind our channel,” says Kundra.
    So far, Best Deal TV has released a TVC starring Shilpa Shetty Kundra titled ‘Women Empowerment’ which has garnered many queries. “The ad was made in house and conceptualised by our channel’s head Manish Dubey and executed by Nazar Abbas.,” Kundra says.

    Further explaining the channel’s marketing strategy, Kundra shares, “We have also done some targeted SMS blasts to our TG and we are using celebrity social media handles to get the message out there. We have allocated a sizeable budget to advertise in the market and create this model.”
    Besides OOH advertising, the channel is also looking at ground activation. “We will look at on ground activation. We have recently ties up with sheroes.in, India’s first female placement agency and have received many leads from them. We do talks at colleges on female empowerment NGO’s,” Kundra elaborates.
    It is interesting to note that while the campaign addresses women, the DCA offer is not restricted to the fairer sex alone. “We are not restricted to just women agents and the idea is to create a battalion of over 10,000 DCA’s across the country. Even if each books one order a day that’s 10,000 orders. My dependency on carriage of my channel is reduced,” Says Kundra further shedding light on his marketing strategy with this new initiative.

    Founded by Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and Raj Kundra, Best Deal TV is an Indian celebrity driven 24/7 Home shopping channel that specialises in the sale of consumer products via innovative and immersive on and off screen experiences. The home shopping channel has multiple platform presence via TV, mobile, online and retail.
