    OYO releases new summer break campaign

    Mumbai: OYO has launched its latest summer campaign, ‘Don’t let their summer break, break you!’. The campaign will go live across multiple channels including press ads, OOH, radio, digital films, and OYO’s social media channels.

    Similar to OYO’s recent ‘Assi Reach Gaye’ campaign, this campaign takes cues from consumer insights, highlighting children’s typical summer behavior with the only way out — heading for a summer vacation

    The campaign is carried out based on OYO’s internal consumer study. As per OYO’s study, 82 percent of parents said they have a difficult time juggling work and keeping children occupied during summer breaks. Further, the study highlights that over 65 per cent of Indians shared intent to plan vacations with their kids this summer, after two consecutive years of lockdowns during summer breaks. In such a situation, taking a summer vacation is a win-win for both – parents and the kids.

    This consumer insight also became the genesis for OYO’s latest summer campaign – Don’t let their summer break, ‘break you’ which highlights every parents’ dilemma — prioritising work while keeping kids entertained. The campaign brings to life children’s yearning for a summer break through quirky animated characters. The campaign is set to go live across multiple channels such as print ads, outdoor hoardings, radio channels, digital ads, CRM and OYO owned social media channels. Over the month, the campaign will go live across various cities such as Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad.

    OYO SVP & head of global brand Mayur Hola said, “Kids have been stuck at home for the majority of the past two years. Summer vacations are all about playtime for kids. Not so much for parents though. They’re on edge, juggling between zoom calls and impatient children who are dying to head out. That’s why our latest campaign shares a friendly reminder with parents; take a trip as much for yourselves, as for the kids. From Assi Reach Gaye to now, our effort has been to widen the pool of people who consider an OYO, when looking to take a break right next door or in a land far far away. And it’s leading to some super cute output.”

  • Mother’s Day: Mylo’s campaign celebrates role of ‘Mom CEOs’

    Mother’s Day: Mylo’s campaign celebrates role of ‘Mom CEOs’

    Mumbai: Mylo’s has launched its new digital campaign recently to celebrate mother’s role as ceo– chief everything officer.

    Every mom is a CEO, in charge of leading her family and responsible for its efficient functioning that requires juggling multiple functions.

    Motherhood is often portrayed as one joyous ride but in reality, it is a myriad of emotions – lots of joy indeed but also a fair bit of exhaustion, sleep deprivation and a lack of recognition for the efforts it takes in raising a child.

    Through this film, Mylo highlights that motherhood is a full-time job that deserves to be recognized and appreciated. By showing a conversation between a couple who have recently become parents, the campaign addresses the ill-informed opinions about a mother’s role and celebrates her efforts and dedication in helping raise a happy family.

    The film concludes with Mylo reiterating- ‘Iss Mother’s Day, Mylo sabhi Mom CEOs ka dil se aadar karta hai.’

    Mylo’s head-content & community shaveta gupta said, “In the humdrum of life, it’s easy to overlook or take for granted the central role Moms play in every household. Moms are the wheels and the glue that keep a family on track and together. Moms do everything for everyone every day and deserve the CEO title before anyone. They are the real CEOs in life! Mylo invites everyone to both acknowledge and celebrate the role of the mom as the Chief Everything Officer this Mother’s Day.”

    BTDT Media’s founder Arjun Kapadia said, “As I think about it, my company’s name fits perfectly with the concept we have implemented; mothers have ‘Been There, Done That’. I’ve grown up seeing my mother be the CEO of our household and now my wife, so women have already played an important role in my life. I’m honoured to have been a part of such a fantastic project that recognises the importance of mothers and the roles they play in our lives.”

    HDFC Life emphasises need for adequate life insurance in new campaign

    Mumbai: Life insurance provider HDFC Life has launched its latest campaign called #AdhuraNahiPuraInsurance to enable consumers understand the need for adequate life insurance.

    Often individuals purchase life cover that is inadequate and remain underinsured. This could be detrimental to the family’s well-being in case something was to happen to the breadwinner, said the company in a statement. “Through this campaign, HDFC Life aims to encourage individuals to calculate their ideal life cover with the help of the Human Life Value Calculator (HLV) available on the company’s website,” it added.

    The campaign comprises a series of three films featuring actor Pratik Gandhi where the protagonist is present in situations that depict the consequences of inadequate preparation. The cases are relatable, and the scenes are witty, showcasing how incomplete actions will land you in a pickle.

    “India has a large population that is either uninsured or underinsured, leading to a high protection gap. With an increase in the young working population there is a greater need for life insurance to secure the breadwinner in the family. Further, the pandemic has enhanced the need for a financial safety net,” said HDFC Life head of marketing, digital business, and e-commerce Vishal Subharwal.

    “Human Life Value calculation should ideally be the first step while purchasing life insurance. It ensures that the cover is adequate and fulfils the purpose of the policy. Through this campaign, we aim to create greater awareness of the need for adequate life insurance cover,” he added.

    inresto by Dineout urges restaurants to be their own boss in new brand film

    Mumbai: inresto, the B2B arm of Dineout, urges restaurants to be their own boss in its new brand film. The ad film highlights the importance of restaurant-owned websites and pocket-friendly yet effective marketing ways that restaurants can use to upscale their business to reduce the dependency on aggregators thus resulting in avoiding up to 30 per cent commissions and increasing profitability.

    In this satirical take, the film shows two types of restaurateurs, Sid, who is smart and owns his website, and the other, Sud, who is not so hands-on with tech solutions and is still relying on the aggregators for his orders. The unique visual representation supports the comical yet important message that the brand conveys by showcasing the two restaurateurs on a split-screen with coloured and black & white background.

    Conceptualised by the in-house team, the digital film has been released on the brand’s social media platforms on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.


    “Restaurants have started to experience the hustle and bustle of dining out after a long halt. So they need solutions which are in their favour,” stated Dineout co-founder and head of marketing Nikhil Bakshi. “A microsite with a delivery & pickup menu that can be easily modified anytime with appealing visuals and a smooth UI is the need of the hour. Not only that, the restaurant industry is competitive, and to stand out, they need marketing solutions which are targeted and cost-effective.”

    inresto by Dineout is trying to bridge the communication gap between a restaurant and its customers through ROI-driven marketing solutions like targeted social media promotions, search engine optimisation (SEO) for better search results, professional photoshoots, and video shoots, among others. inresto has always taken the industry-first approach by offering a 360-degree solution to the restaurants, said the brand in a statement.

    “In today’s time, one cannot just depend on aggregators for the delivery business. Restaurants need to be independent with tools to run their operations confidently,” said Nutcracker founder Annie Bafna. “Therefore, we took charge of our order taking and delivery system to reduce overhead expenses through inresto’s online ordering solution. We were able to communicate more strategically and give offers and discounts to our customers through target marketing campaigns.”

    Below are excerpts of the inspiration provided by these five women entrepreneurs through video messages:

    1. India Assist co-founder and director Moqierish Tak:

    “We get defined by what we achieve, but before achieving, it’s more about how we survived. Entrepreneurship is all about surviving the challenges and not losing focus on the light at the end of the tunnel and eventually reaching there.”

    2. Findmeashoe.com co-founder Shabari Raje:

    “Women have always been enterprising, but now they are creating global impact beyond imagination. Proud & thrilled to be part of this entrepreneurial tribe.”

    “Entrepreneurship is a journey by choice. But every choice you make in the journey shapes it.”

    4. PickMyWork co-founder and CSO Kajal Malik:

    “Even in the year 2021, there are biases. You will experience them too. Don’t let that stop you!”

    5. Sirohi founder and director Gauri Malik:

    “As women entrepreneurs, we all want to be Wonder Women. But it’s only much later in your entrepreneurial journey do you realize that it’s a mindset.”

  • JBL says #MuteTheWorld in its latest digital campaign

    JBL says #MuteTheWorld in its latest digital campaign

    Mumbai: Global audio equipment company JBL has rolled out its latest digital campaign #MuteTheWorld. The campaign aims to drive awareness around JBL’s active noise cancelling (ANC) category, which allows users to mute the world and focus on things that matter to them.

    Conceptualised and executed by Havas Creative Group India, the ad series focuses on the visual manifestation of female power in a category, that’s otherwise dominated by men. Thereby, highlighting it as the brand of the future, that celebrates gender equality.

    The campaign includes four light-hearted, humorous films that demonstrate the benefits of the ANC mode in different real-life scenarios.


    Commenting on the creative strategy, Havas Group India chairman & chief creative officer Bobby Pawar said, “Many brands have created communication around Noise Cancelling, our challenge was how to do it very differently and in a manner that is ownable to brand. Our idea was to literally personify the technology as a strong, silent person whose mission is to silence sources of noise.”

    “Also, since I feel strongly about breaking stereotypes about how women are portrayed in advertising, we cast a powerful woman to play the role, instead of a man. Advertising plays a role in changing social perceptions, and I am delighted that JBL allowed us to marry the brand message with bold, engaging storytelling,” he further added.

    The campaign encourages consumers to block out their distractions, and not let anything come between you and your vibe. It will be seen on JBL’s social media channels along with other platforms, said the statement.

    Talking about the campaign, Harman India – head of marketing Yogesh Nambiar said, “JBL’s 75 years of audio innovation and creativity has led us to be the preferred sound companion globally, across segments. JBL has always believed in thinking differently, and #MuteTheWorld campaign is something that amalgamates well with our brand, and powerful enough to turn heads, make people sit up and take notice. We are glad to launch an off-beat campaign with HAVAS and debunk the conventional ways to encourage societal change.”
