    Orchard creates launch campaign for ISure

    MUMBAI: Leo Burnett‘s Orchard Advertising has conceptulaised and executed the launch campaign for Piramal Healthcare‘s ovulation strips brand ISure. Marking a first in the Indian market, the product helps women know the two days of the month when they are most likely to conceive.

    The agency has created a 30 second television commercial (TVC) to introduce the product by tapping into the anguish of a woman trying to conceive and used it to communicate the promise of the brand.

    The film revolves around an expectant mother, her interaction with her baby bump, her realisation of what tomorrow will brin g, the happiness that will soon follow and her quest of becoming a mother to a beautiful bundle of joy.

    As the viewer is shown an expecting mother‘s excitement, she reaches out for a cushion under her shirt, and straightens up before her husband walks into the room. A voice over informs the viewers that ISure helps women determine the two days in the month where pregnancy is most likely and thus helping them plan better.

    Orchard Advertising Mumbai VP and branch head Partha Sarkar said, “The brief shared with us was a fantastic starting point. The challenge was to showcase I Sure as a means of inferring those two days when the likelihood of the conception is the highest and not fall in the trap of being taken as a remedy for infertility. Hence we thought that it would be a good idea to connect with all women looking to have a child and sharing with them the delight they will soon experience.”

    Orchard Advertising Mumbai ECD Hemant Kumar said, “The idea was to romanticise the joy of pregnancy for the woman. It is the biggest change in her life and we wanted to help her celebrate it. On having spoken to our consumers, we found that there is a sense of completion they feel on having a baby and unfortunately a delay in pregnancy meant a delay in experiencing the greatest happiness in their lives. We wanted to bring this to light.”

    The film has been produced by White Light and directed by Namita and Subir.

    “The task was to design an environment that would allow us to stage this moment, without making the moment cheesy or juvenile. We decided on a simple song to hold and colour this section composed with lyrics by Rekha Nigam, scored by Zubin Balaporia and performed by Mahalaxmi Iyer. We chose to shoot it on film as opposed to digital video,” shared Subir.

    “When a couple is suffering from delayed pregnancy, they get advice from all corners, and are completely confused with all the suggestions and remedies that they come across. Here is a product that will help them put things into perspective and be there for them in the security of their own home, leading to the diffusion of any confusion,” added Sarkar.

  • Marmalade Digital develops media buying platform DSP

    MUMBAI: Digital agency Marmalade Digital has developed a digital platform called Demand Side Platform. This new platform offers transparent automated media buying across multiple sources in real-time.

    Marmalade DSP is designed to be a media buying platform that offers value beyond impressions and clicks to its advertisers, the company said. It is programmed to learn on-the-go as to what performs best for the advertiser to help him earn every relevant impression for least possible cost to maximise performance. Adhering to IAB standards, the platform is built with a system audit that disbars all inventories that has adult content, negative incidences, sensitive topics or related to gambling.

    Marmalade Digital founder and chief executive officer Hemant Kumar said, “Our goal is to be the digital partner, which provides smart media buying insights and optimisation to agencies, enabling them to focus more on client strategy, brand building and less on execution of media plan.”

    Through the platform, the advertiser will now be able to know what exactly in a campaign worked for it and how the performance can be improved as opposed to only knowing whether a campaign performed well or not.
