    Fujifilm India launches ‘Never Stop: Innovating For A Healthier World’ campaign films

    Mumbai: Fujifilm India, a pioneer in diagnostic imaging and information systems for healthcare facilities, has rolled out a new campaign titled “Never Stop: Innovating for a Healthier World,” featuring two new videos under it.

    The campaign films premiered on Fujifilm India’s official YouTube channel and will be amplified across digital media platforms, OOH, and television channels in the next few days with the aim of generating awareness about regular health screening.

    Aimed at spreading awareness about the importance of regular medical tests to eliminate the chance of chronic health ailments, the campaign videos focus on the significance of timely health checkups for people of all ages.

    Moreover, the new campaign features the world-class diagnostic facilities provided by the Nura centre in partnership with Fujifilm. Recently, it has roped in fitness ideal Milind Soman as their healthcare and wellness brand ambassador.

    Speaking about the campaign, Fujifilm India managing director Koji Wada said, “We’re pleased to launch the new brand campaign films under our flagship “Never Stop” campaign. As a brand, our efforts have always been to encourage people to look after their health, and therefore, the new videos primarily focus on the significance of regular health check-ups in order to prevent diagnostic delays. India has become the diabetes capital of the world, and we’re also seeing accelerating rates of cancer amongst our young and old, along with other health issues. With this campaign, we want to encourage every individual, irrespective of their age, to understand the importance of timely diagnosis and treatment. Further, with the vision of creating a healthier India, we will continue to innovate in the healthcare space for the betterment of society.”

    The films are based on the concept of a family doctor recommending his friends undergo regular health check-ups in order to avoid diagnostic delays. While emphasising the Nura centre’s innovations which help in early detection and diagnosis, the first film features a family of three—husband, wife, and a child—where the wife is seen complaining of tiredness, fatigue, and low energy levels. She is recommended by their family friend, who is a doctor, to go for a health check-up. After a thorough screening, she is then advised to visit a breast radiologist after early detection.

    In the second film, a doctor calls upon his friend and patient and advises him to give his elderly parents the gift of a health checkup for their healthy future on their wedding anniversary. The parents are shown undergoing the screening, and the doctor advises them to consult an orthopaedic specialist. In both the campaign films, Fujifilm and Nura stress the importance of utilising technological innovations that will help people screen themselves regularly in order to lead a healthy lifestyle. They demonstrate the importance of screening both younger and older adults on a regular basis to detect and treat diseases in their early stages for a healthier future.

    Speaking about the campaign films, Fujifilm India lead of brand communication, public relations and CSR Tribhuwan Joshi added, “We hope to inspire everyone, regardless of age, to recognise the value of prompt diagnosis and treatment with the launch of the new brand campaign film. We aim to strengthen our commitment to delivering sustainable solutions to the masses with the goal of making India healthier and never stop innovating for a healthier world.”

    MUMBAI: After a global launch in May, Fujifilm introduced its latest innovation breakthrough in India, the FUJIFILM GFX100 mirrorless digital camera (“GFX100”) and its ‘Premista’ series of lenses. The camera incorporates an image sensor with the world's highest 102 million pixels resolution and unique colour reproduction technology to achieve the world-leading image quality.

    Fujifilm India head of image capturing SM Ramprasad told indiantelevision.com that the prime target consumers for this camera are professional photographers working in commercial industries like fashion and advertising. “This is for all the people who want more details on their images; the images which are meant not to just stay on the monitor but go beyond that. This camera is going to deliver for them.”

    He also talked about the newly launched ‘Premista’ series of the lenses which is being targeted at DOPs working in Bollywood as well as the Indian television industry.

    Ramprasad said, “We want to establish these lenses as one of the key players in the industry with high-end professional cameras. They have seen how these lenses work on cameras from our X series as a reference mark and over a period of time, these users are going to mature and use the GFX series. So, we are hoping that these lenses will help us in selling both the high-end as well the mid-and lower-end cameras.”

    Fujifilm India Pvt Ltd managing director Haruto Iwata added that the cameras are not necessarily meant for the high-end professional users but also for photography enthusiasts even if they are at the amateur level. He noted that Fujifilm is using e-commerce channels like Amazon and Flipkart to make these products accessible to all sorts of consumers who want to give a professional touch to their work.

    Speaking about the marketing plan for the products, Ramprasad shared that the primary plan is B2B marketing but it is going to be a mix of B2B and B2C. “For B2C we are planning to use conventional modes like print as well as social media. For B2B, we are focusing on events and workshops,” he said.

    Ramprasad further added, “We did a lot of workshops last year as well and this year we are planning to expand further. We have already engaged 15 X-series photographers, who are our influencers. Apart from them, we have enrolled 25 X-mentors who will not only share their knowledge but will also help our customers in understanding how our products can be used to enhance their professional work experience.”

    He shared that in the coming few weeks, the company is planning to roll out a number of promotional activities for not just e-shoppers but also patrons of their retail stores as well.

    The products were launched on 16 July in Mumbai.  Fujifilm general manager for the imaging product division Toshi Iida told Indiantelevision.com that he was surprised to see the number of pre-orders the product was getting despite its high price point and it was exciting for him to launch the camera in India.

    Haruto Iwata said in a press statement, “This is indeed a gratifying moment for us and we are excited to announce the launch of the world's highest 102 million pixels mirrorless camera – GFX100 in India. At Fujifilm India, our endeavour has always been to bind innovation together with service that enhances customer delight. With the launch of GFX100, we have achieved a great milestone in our digital camera business. I am optimistic that the launch will further enhance our presence in India and we will continue introducing cameras that deliver an unparalleled standard of optical brilliance that is sure to delight a photographer’s fantasy.”

    Influencers' fashion photographer Dabboo Ratnani and cinematographer Palash Das were also present at the launch.

    Dabboo Ratnani said, “It is a matter of great pride for me to be associated with a cult brand like Fujifilm. The new GFX100 camera embodies a new standard of optical excellence with technological brilliance in new mount and optics; retaining Fujifilm’s renowned legacy. Packed with powerful features, the camera displays Fujifilm’s legendary artistry that will empower users to expand the realm of photographic capabilities. With this association, we look forward to an advanced mirrorless camera experience and witness a shift in the existing imaging industry to newer heights.”

    Palash Das said, “I was recently honoured to shoot on the Premista 28-100mm large format zoom lens. The lens is indeed a breakthrough with crisper images and proper focal length coverage throughout the zoom range. It has a beautiful flare to it and the bokeh effect is also quite wonderful. My overall experience with the lens is nothing but fantastic and I will encourage more DOPs to use this zoom lens in Bollywood and across the world.”

  • Fujifilm ropes in Minissha Lamba as brand ambassador

    Fujifilm ropes in Minissha Lamba as brand ambassador

    NEW DELHI: Actor Minissha Lamba is the first Indian ambassador for Fujifilm to promote their new range of digital cameras, because the company feels she is very choosy about whatever she buys or does, and has carved a niche for herself in the films she has acted in.

    Fujifilm national marketing manager Sriwant Wariz told indiantelevision.com that the company had decided to take on a brand ambassador after four years of launching its camera in India because it now felt it was ready with state-of-the-art cameras that were better than any others in the market.

    He said the marketing budget had been increased during 2011-12 from Rs 450 million to Rs 650 million. Of this, he said 50 per cent will be ‘above the line‘, and he expected the first television commercials to be on air in the second quarter of the year.

    He admitted that the company had for some time suffered in India last year because of the devastation by floods in Japan because of which shipping of cameras to India was affected and the expected share of nine per cent had come down to 7.1 per cent. The company which was at number three in India expected to take this share to ten per cent in the next year and to the top within three years.

    He said the marketing would be aggressive, with strong consumer protection, brand visibility, and a zero per cent EMI scheme. Fujifilm had five main centres and around 500 showrooms around the country which will go up to 4,000.

    It was already on YouTube and on Facebook where it had 20,000 fans and was aggressively shifting to digital marketing.

    The diverse line-up of the cameras from the compact to the more professional X series also gave a lot of variety to the consumer.

    Wariz said, “Apart from an instant recognition, the right brand ambassador who matches the brand personality can create lot of trust and aura around the brand. Fujifilm as a company is extremely quality conscious, is young (in Indian digital camera business) and with diverse offerings, is trying to carve a niche for itself. We found Minissha with similar value system and hence decided on her as our brand ambassador. Minissha Lamba is a fine actress of new generation who in a short span of time has created a reputation for being very quality conscious and professional, evident from her choice of meaningful movies. Beside this she is a very popular face today and we are sure this association will help us enhance our brand equity greatly.”

    Lamba said she had been using Fujifilm from her childhood and, therefore, her acceptance came very naturally. “I am very passionate about photography. It‘s great to see the wonderful new cameras of Fujifilm with great features and cool looks. I am eagerly looking forward to using my new Fujifilm JZ100,” she added.

    According to Fujifilm India MD K Tanaka, a sum of Rs 2 billion had been put into research and development and Fujifilm digital cameras were the lightest because they did not use mirrors which made other cameras heavy.

    He said that the smart phone had affected the business only to a small extent since the consumer today was more concerned about the lenses than about megapixels. The latest 16 digital cameras being introduced in the Indian market had introducing Interchangeable technology. “At Fujifilm, our effort is always to bring the latest and innovative technology in our product with the support of R&D team.With our latest addition X-Pro1 we are entering into the Professional and semi-professional camera market,” he added.

    Ranging from hi-tech pro-level models to fashionable point-and-shoot compacts, the spring collection has a series of models. The collection includes following cameras: HS25EXR, F660EXR (EXR Series), T350 (T series), JX500, JZ100 (J series), AX550 (A series), SL260, S4200, S2980 (S series), L30 (L series) and C25 (C series).
