    Havas Media wins gold at 8th India Digital Awards

    MUMBAI: Havas Media has won gold for Philips Lighting’s Meet Hue campaign in the digital integrated campaign category at the 8th India digital awards by The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) held on 18 January 2018.

    Havas Media Group CEO – India & South Asia Anita Nayyar said, “Being recognised by an industry body such as IAMAI is not only a matter of pride for the agency and the client but also boosts the morale of the teams and young talents involved in every stage. It gives me immense pleasure to see our teams work together seamlessly through a client, consumer-centric approach and being empowered.”

    The campaign’s objective was to introduce smart living via smart lighting. Meet Hue by Philips is a ‘smart’ lighting system for your home that gives you full control over every aspect of your lighting. A product that helps you creates just the right setting, mood or ambiance for every moment. With the Hue system one can set the lights to turn on when you arrive home and turn off when you leave. Or better yet, set it to switch on and off at specific times so that it looks like someone is home even when you are out, hopefully a deterrent for a would-be thief, as smart home stuff don’t come cheap. With the objective of driving awareness and education amongst a mostly banner-blind audience, a variety of media vehicles across domains were deployed leading to a 200 per cent increase in registrations for home demo.

    Philips Lighting India CMO Rothin Bhattacharyya said, “It’s a great endorsement of our efforts towards creating awareness about nascent category like connected lighting. The campaign has significantly enhanced awareness and adoption of the product and is a testimony of the fantastic results that can be achieved with a close client-agency engagement.”
