  • Vodafone India modernises for IoT-ready future

    Vodafone India modernises for IoT-ready future

    MUMBAI: Internet of Things (IoT), the technology that connects any digital device to your phone, is one of the hottest buzzwords in the technology industry this year. Telecom operator Vodafone India has marked itself as the first brand to undergo this evolution in India by asking consumers to be future ready.

    Vodafone has repositioned itself as a modern, contemporary, inspiring and future-fit brand with its new tagline, “The future is exciting, Ready?’’. It is a significant metamorphosis for one of India’s most iconic and loved brands from its earlier ‘Power to you’ tagline, which was introduced in 2009. This new positioning, part of Vodafone’s global rebranding exercise across 36 countries, is designed to underline Vodafone’s belief in new technologies and digital services playing a positive role in transforming society.

    Although the repositioning is a part of its global campaign, Vodafone wants Indian consumers to understand technology by showcasing Indian characters and Indian scenarios in its campaigns. The new visual identity will place greater emphasis on Vodafone’s iconic ‘speech mark’ logo that will now appear as the central graphical focus overlaid on all marketing and marketing communications collateral in a new 2D design in place of a skeuomorphic 3D approach.

    Vodafone India managing director and chief executive officer Sunil Sood said that the telco has marked a 180 per cent growth in SIM cards used for IoT devices in India. Although the numbers are small, the market is still emerging and with government’s smart cities initiative, a lot of IoT solutions would be used, making it an exciting time to reposition itself. Globally, 60 million SIM cards have been sold for IoT solutions.

    “India is entering a new exciting era of digital, convergence, big data, IoT, cloud, augmented realities, robotics and AI. The real and virtual worlds are converging at an unprecedented pace to create a bold new future. Our new brand positioning emphasises Vodafone’s mission and purpose to help customers and communities adapt, navigate and prosper from the remarkable new trends reshaping the world,” he adds.

    The company recently tied up with various smartphone makers like Intex, Micromax, Lava and Nokia to encourage current non-users of 4G to upgrade and use internet. Vodafone India chief operating officer Balesh Sharma mentioned that the company has a well distributed network in India and now wants to make feature phones more affordable in rural India.

    The telecom corporation will invest only selectively in print media but its digital spends will increase. “Our media spends will evolve over the next few years and we will invest heavily in digital and social media as that is where the opportunity lies,” he adds.

    It remains to be seen whether Vodafone can replicate its success of earlier campaigns, such as its evergreen Zoozoos, into the unknown territory of IoT.

  • Vivo wins IPL title rights for Rs 21.9 bn

    MUMBAI: Vivo has won the title rights bid for IPL for 2018-2022 for Rs 21.9 billion — which is a 554 per cent hike over the previous contract. Oppo, with Rs 14.3 bn-bid, Motorola, Xaiomi, and Intex were the other bidders.

    21 June was the last day for interested companies to pick up the bid document, which was available from 31 May.

    The IPL’s title sponsorship has been held by three brands since the tournament’s launch in 2008. For the first five years, DLF held the rights while, in 2013, Pepsi came on board.

    However, after the BCCI found itself in a mess with the betting and spot-fixing scam, the beverage giant discontinued its deal in late 2015. This made way for Vivo to pick up the rights for the last two years of Pepsi’s contract tenure.

  • Intex TVC by Publicis shows prevention from ‘bill shock’

    MUMBAI: Intex Technologies, a leading consumer electronics major, which had recently announced its first ever range of air-conditioners to complete its bouquet of consumer durables offerings, has come out with its maiden ad campaign for the range today. The ad conceptualized by Publicis India depicts the situation of a typical middle-class Indian household using air-conditioners guzzling electricity and in turn grappling with the after-affects of high electricity bills.

    ACs consume a lot of electricity when used regularly for long hours during summers. This often results in very high electricity bills that is quite shocking for a common man. The advertisement draws a comparison between this extreme shock or ‘Dill ka Daura’ with the creative expression of ‘Bill Ka Daura.’ The campaign stresses that with the installation of Intex Super Saver Inverter ACs in the house, a middle-class family saves 30% electricity, gets 15% faster cooling and thereby prevents itself from having a ‘Bill Ka Daura’.

    Speaking about the first AC campaign, Nidhi Markanday, Director & Business Head, Intex Technologies said, “The TVC is aimed at eliminating the fear in the minds of common people that in summers switching ON air-conditioners means incurring high electricity bills. With Intex ACs, we have made sure that every household can now freely use their ACs to enjoy the cool atmosphere without thinking of power consumption. Intex has always striven to change people’s lives through affordable and quality products. Our power packed range of air conditioners complete our consumer durables product portfolio and strengthen our positioning in the Indian market.”

    The campaign is set in a house with family members and a doctor where the man has suffered from an extreme shock which has been caused due to the high electricity bill. Intex Super Saver Inverter AC comes out as a solution for this ‘Bill Ka Daura’ in a humorous and entertaining manner.

    The superior technology of Intex ACs acts as an enabler by appealing to the ‘cost consciousness’ of the Indian family and so is assured that they can go ahead and switch ON the AC whenever they want. The Air Conditioners boast of E3 Chill proposition – Efficient, Effective and Economical.
