‘Sweat It To Get It’, recommends Gatorade

MUMBAI: The iconic sports drink brand has come up with a vending machine that dispenses Gatorade only if you work up a sweat…In line with its international brand positioning, Gatorade India has kicked off its new campaign with ‘Sweat It To Get It’.

Gatorade, PepsiCo’s sports beverage brand which claims to be the world’s no.1 sports drink, has created a vending machine that senses your body heat before dispensing a Gatorade. The machine encourages users to first work up a sweat by doing any physical activity like running or jumping jacks and then stand in front of the machine. If a user is sweating enough, the machine automatically dispenses a Gatorade!

The machine was set up at the Fitness First Gym in New Delhi.

Gatorade, PepsiCo India region manager brand marketing Raghav Mehta says, “The brand promise is simple – Gatorade helps replace what you lose in sweat during exercise. This machine not only helps demonstrate that in a fun yet effective way but also explains how exactly the sports drink works for your body.”

The agency behind the idea Dentsu Webchutney chief creative technologist Gurbaksh Singh says, “The machine draws inspiration from the drink itself. When you exercise, muscles generate heat, increasing your body temperature. That’s precisely when you need Gatorade to restore the lost fluids in the process. We used Thermal Imaging to assess a user’s body heat. When it reached a pre-determined threshold, the machine dispensed a Gatorade. So in a way, it knows when you need a Gatorade!”

“What makes this idea different from other activities is that we have created something that not only explains the simple science behind the product but is fun, relevant and creates real-time human responses. The vending machine just makes you earn your Gatorade with your sweat. Sweat it, get it. Simple,” adds Dentsu Webchutney client services director Ashish Kaushik.

Gatorade’s proven, scientific formula has remained unchanged for more than 40 years and continues to quench thirst, replace fluids and electrolytes, and provide carbohydrate energy to help athletes get the most out of their performance. Gatorade comes in three distinct flavors: Orange, Lemon and Blue Bolt and is available in RTD (Ready to Drink) and Sports Mix (Powder sachet) formats.

Rentomojo hires Dentsu Webchutney digital

MUMBAI: In its rapid path to becoming a platform where you can subscribe to furniture and appliances for a period of your choice, Rentomojo – founded by Geetansh Bamania – has signed Dentsu Webchutney to shape its digital agenda.

Dentsu Webchutney’s Bangalore team will now take this unique approach of ownership to the urban, young, working junta and their mandate includes social media, digital content, video, and acquisition programs. Innovation being at the core for both companies – Rentomojo in its very concept, and for Dentsu Webchutney, through its path-breaking campaigns – this seems to be a formidable match.

“Rentomojo is building a category and in this process, connecting with our audience & engagement is the prime objective,” says Rentomojo founder Geetansh Bamania.

“Rentomojo and the growing rental economy excite us a lot. Consumer behaviour in this category is very counter-intuitive from the typical consumption culture and the concept of owning one’s own. We’re thrilled at the opportunity to helping establish Rentomojo as a key player in the space,” said Dentsu Webchutney Bangalore SVP Gautam Reghunath.

“We have great admiration for Geetansh and his team’s vision and in a space as short-lived as digital, we’re two teams now working as one – ready to roll good, effective ideas when they strike,” Reghunath added.

Dentsu Webchutney, the digital agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, has offices in New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru and manages clients such as Flipkart, Airtel, PAYBACK, Red Bull, and Quikr.
