    Jabong launches ‘out-of-the-world’ ad for upcoming Big Brand Sale

    MUMBAI: Jabong, India’s leading online fashion brand, has launched its new marketing campaign to promote the fourth edition of its biggest sale of the year- the Jabong Big Brand Sale- which will be held from 27 to 30 July.

    Big Brand Sale (BBS) is Jabong’s marquee bi-annual property that is held in January and July to mark the end of the ongoing season.

    As a part of its 360 degree campaign, Jabong released an #OutOfTheWorld themed 30 sec TVC, which is set in a parallel universe and captures the essence of BBS where the World’s Biggest Brands are available at discounts. During BBS, Jabong is offering four lakh styles from premium, international and Indian brands at 55-80 per cent discount, out of which over one lac styles are for the first time on 50 per cent + discounts and more than 15,000 styles are available at above 80 per cent discount.

    The TVC highlights the Jabong consumers who are free from worldly notions of fashion and have their own unique style and identity, staying true to Jabong’s brand philosophy- Be You. Set against a vast, celestial backdrop and a flickering panorama of space, the TVC beautifully uses spatial objects like stars, satellites and shooting stars to creatively bring alive the ‘out-of-the-world’ experience that the Big Brand Sale promises, in terms of, both, products and discounts.

    Conceptualised and scripted by Happy Mcgarrybowen, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, the TV commercial will be aired across leading channels, GEC, English and Hindi movies, English entertainment, news, lifestyle and music genres. The television commercials will also run in five-second stings across select channels to drive frequency and reach. In addition, the campaign also covers print, radio, outdoor, DTH (Tata Sky) and digital-YouTube, Facebook, Wynk and Truecaller, with OOH across eight cities. Jabong is also collaborating with popular content creators like SIT and leading fashion influencers to amplify the campaign’s consumer reach.

    Jabong head Gunjan Soni says, “The fourth edition of BBS is going to be bigger and better than ever before with innovations like 100 per cent cash back, VIP slots, and lightening deals. The TVC attempts to capture this magic in a uniquely Jabong way. The campaign theme is based on the very essence of BBS which promises an extraordinary experience for our customers by making the biggest global and Indian brands available at out of the world discounts. The TVC beautifully captures this Jabong world where fashion is the way of life.”

    Jabong head of brand Gaurav Kackar adds, “The campaign communication is based on a simple consumer insight that when you dress well, you feel on top of the world. The TVC, set in a spatial backdrop, depicts the Jabong promise to offer an out of the world shopping experience to its customers this BBS. It’s a first-of-its-kind approach to creatively capture the brand essence and highlight the key sale callouts, which we believe will resonate very strongly with our consumers.”

    Happy mcgarrybowen CEO Kartik Iyer mentions, “In a typical situation this would be another opportunity to do another sale ad. But this is Jabong and the team seems to just push the experience of every piece of communication, every single time. A fresh take on what to expect and the excitement around it makes up the experience to be totally out of this world. All credit to the collaboration between client agency and director.”

    Jabong will allot exclusive slots to select shoppers on 26 July to make purchases via wishlisting, coupled with lightening and mystery deals throughout the four days for enhanced consumer engagement. Customers can also earn slots by playing fun games on the Jabong app to buy their favourite products before they go out of stock.

Every aspect of our campaign comes from a simple insight that being #FashionGuilty is something you wear on your sleeve proudly.

It encapsulates the essence of the brand, as a curator of best in class labels and high-end fashion.”

    Happy Mcgarrybowen CEO Kartik Iyer adds, “The thing about those who fiercely love fashion is that they don’t care about what others think. Some people have a certain boldness about them. The Showstopper Festival is for such people. The film brings this thought alive with the showstoppers celebrating their uniqueness, even if they are being judged for who they are.”

  • Zoom partners Myntra, expects 40% top line growth in 2018

    Zoom partners Myntra, expects 40% top line growth in 2018

    MUMBAI: Zoom, the entertainment channel from the Times stable, is bridging the gap between the television and online mediums. In order to maximise its reach using three staple diets of Indians- fashion, Bollywood and entertainment-it has partnered online fashion and lifestyle company, Myntra, to form a new revamped identity. Zoom will no longer be called just ‘Zoom’ but rather ‘Zoom styled by Myntra’.

    The “reimaged” (as the company prefers to call it) identity went live last night-19 April 2018 at 9 pm IST. Times Network president Nikhil Gandhi affirmed, “Zoom is not a TV channel, but it is an omnipresent brand and Bollywood in India is like a meta-state. With our focus on original content, we will be targeting the sweet spot of 15-to 24-year olds.”

    Zoom aims to leverage Myntra’s style quotient for a new look and feel, new shows, new web-series, short formats and exclusive experiences. The new logo and packaging reflect style, vibrancy and happiness that are symbolic of the channel’s target audience.

    With ‘Zoom styled by Myntra’, viewers will see fresh new faces, stylised looks and latest trends from Myntra, rising stars, the best of Bollywood and popular music. Moreover, the clothing/apparel that will be worn by the celebs/actors/anchors would be shoppable via a Zoom store on Myntra. Through this partnership, Myntra aims to make #SeeItToBuyIt a reality, wherein what the consumer sees on screen can be easily accessed on Myntra.

    Myntra is using the association to strengthen its position in the fashion space. The deal between Zoom and Myntra is a monetised partnership that Gandhi is optimistic will travel beyond at least three years.

    Myntra head of research and insights Priyanka Bhargav said, “This partnership will help us reach viewers of the channel across the country who are ardent followers. Moreover, core propositions such as styles, looks and brands will get a huge push through celebrity-driven content that the TG looks up to.”

    Times Network MD and CEO MK Anand was of the opinion that Zoom had changed the rules of stereotype partnership deals in the industry with its association with Myntra and the refreshed identity reflects the kind of real, conversational and multi-lingual entertainment that viewers in India are looking for.

    Considering that companies today are in a hurry to jump from offline to online, the reverse done by Myntra may be considered as a major move. Bhargav said, “Television has always been one of the most popular mediums for consumption of content, alongside social and digital mediums that are extremely popular. Television, in this association, will act as a catalyst for greater penetration and overall visibility for both brands.”

    Myntra and Jabong CEO Ananth Narayanan said that by 2020, 75 per cent of the content consumed would be video content and made for India original content would grow substantially. “Fashion as a category lends itself well to the video format, much more than any other category. Each show will be styled by Myntra and you can easily get similar looks on Myntra,” he added.

    “Zoom has good affinity in the Myntra demographic TG, especially millennials and Gen-Z. Zoom has very good reach, not only in metros but also tier 2 and 3 cities and towns, where Bollywood inspires style and people have strong aspirations. Online fashion shoppers are highly indexed on Bollywood, movies and music and one in four Zoom viewers has a strong affinity towards online shopping for fashion,” Bhargava pointed out.

    According to Gandhi, Zoom is being distributed to 60 countries out of which Mauritius is its biggest market.

    Last year was a difficult year for broadcasters as they grappled with the challenges of both GST and demonetisation. “At the top-line level, Zoom has grown nine to 10 per cent last year, which was muted growth across the industry. But this year is going to be phenomenal and we are going to grow by 40 per cent at the top line,” Gandhi said.

    Amidst rumours that the channel may launch an over-the-top (OTT) platform, Gandhi said that there were no such plans for now but content syndication was surely on the cards. To engage viewers, the channel decided not to spend millions of dollars on creating originals but focus on the ‘feel’ of the shows. “The cost in which we had executed our web-series is unimaginable against what the OTT players are paying per episode. Our cost is very less compared to OTT players in the market,” says Gandhi.

    The ‘Zoom styled by Myntra’ marketing campaign will enjoy visibility across channels via advertisements and promotions on the Times network will amplify the announcement to the larger audiences in addition to a few print ads and hoardings to keep the communication at the forefront in the traditional format.

    Zoom Originals aims to create experiences beyond screens that will be warm, stylish and relatable, reflecting today’s coming-of-age stories, and viewers’ own lives and relationships. These shows will be shown on the channel as well as on YouTube as web series.

    The channel’s flagship property, Planet Bollywood, will also get a makeover. The anchors will now drive the conversation to reveal the real “story behind the news”. The show will also drive discussions to engage viewers on Zoom’s digital platforms and social media handles.

    Happy Mcgarrybowen creates ‘Game of Swag’ for Jabong’s The Big Brand Sale

    MUMBAI: Jabong has launched its multi-media advertising campaign for the third edition of its ‘Big Brand Sale,’ which is from January 25 to 28, 2018. The 360 degree marketing campaign has been designed to drive communication around the brand’s flagship sale that brings the biggest international and Indian brands at unimaginable prices.

    As part of the campaign, Jabong has launched a 30-second television commercial, where the ‘Big Brand Sale’ is depicted in a medley of fashion montages with a rap song, providing the beat for ‘Ho Tayar for the BIG BRAND SALE’ (Are you ready for the Big Brand Sale?). Stringing together the global brands that would be on sale, the film, titled, ‘Swag Ka Ye Khel’ (Game of Swag), underscores Jabong’s stature as India’s swag stop. The visualization is powerful, trendy, global and young; taking into account customers of premium international brands.

    Conceptualized and scripted by Happy Mcgarrybowen, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network, the TV commercial will be aired across leading channels, covering GEC, lifestyle, music, entertainment, English and Hindi movies. The television commercials will also run in 5 and 10 second stings across select channels to drive frequency and reach. In addition, the campaign also covers print, radio, outdoor DTH (Airtel & Tata Sky) and digital, with OOH across eight cities.

    Jabong head Gunjan Soni said, “Jabong’s Big Brand Sale is all about the celebration of style or swag. The campaign strongly captures the essence of Jabong as the curator of high fashion with its portfolio of top Indian and Global brands, besides emphasizing on the upcoming Big Brand Sale and its offers. Jabong has always been associated with Bold Fashion and Global Brands. Fashion that is an expression and extension of your inner self. The campaign beautifully communicates the theme.”

    “Jabong is one of the coolest brands as a fashion retailer in the online space. It is always a pleasure to create visuals that communicate the unique offering from Jabong. We were clear we didn’t want the communication to just be a retail announcement. The game of swag is a personal game played by everyone who loves fashion. The idea was to celebrate self-expression from a choice of the best fashion brands. Each sequence was carefully crafted to deliver a unique visual experience. The film was shot in the charming backdrops of Calcutta. The track was specially created in collaboration with rap artist DeeMC. Not to mention, the beautifully crafted film was created by Raznish ‘Razy’ Ghai from Asylum films,” said Happy Mcgarrybowen CEO Kartik Iyer.

    Jabong is offering 3.8 lakh styles from 3000 international and Indian brands at 51 to 80 per cent off during the sale.

  • Mairu Gupta and the art of building the NBA in India

    Mairu Gupta and the art of building the NBA in India

    MUMBAI: For basketball fans worldwide, the US National Basketball Association (NBA) represents the mecca of the sport. But in India, the NBA has had its task cut out, what with cricket presenting a near impenetrable line of defence as far as Indian audiences are concerned. However, the NBA has been making steady breaks over the past five years and has forged partnerships with the likes of broadcast network Sony Pictures Network India, schools where it has set up basketball training centres, and introduced a fantasy game.

    It has set an ambitious goal to make it the number two sport in the country, a goal which even it knows is not going to be a cakewalk as the investment required is huge. “The NBA is more popular in India than ever before and basketball has become one of the fastest growing sports in India among both boys and girls. Last season (2016-17), we reached a record number of 125 million fans for NBA programming on TV across India,” says NBA India senior director global media distribution Mairu Gupta.

    The association has been upping the hours of programming it puts out on Sony Pictures Network India – its broadcast network partner. 14 live games a week with English commentary have been aired on Sony Six and Sony Six HD throughout this season, and more than 80 games with two games every weekend with Hindi in-game commentary have started getting airtime on Sony Ten 3 and Sony Ten 3 HD from this season.

    Then the sport has been getting a lot of traction on buzzing outlets such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Says Gupta: “The digital footprint is an important part of the fan acquisition and engagement strategy in the market and we have clocked a billion impressions on social media platforms. Digital remains a priority as we understand that many of our fans are mobile-first and consuming the content through new media. . Our fan base has doubled across social media assets last season and we have had over 160 million video views through last season.”

    NBA live streamed a game via Facebook live for the first time on 8 January last season between the Sacramento Kings and Golden State Warriors. The game reached two million unique fans on TV and attracted over 0.3 million views on Facebook as per the data provided by NBA.

    It is also apparently attracting north Indian viewers. The tournament was simulcast on Sony Ten 1 and Sony Six which drew 9 million all-India viewers and delivered a HSM (Hindi speaking market) contribution of close to 50 per cent.

    China is one of the NBA’s biggest markets outside the US. Its aim is to make India edge up to the former’s levels. The association has taken leaps in hooking Indians to this game. Right from setting up centres in schools to introducing a fantasy game, it has progressed since it launched here five years ago. NBA officially announced the opening of India’s first academy on the outskirts of Delhi on 9 May 2017.

    “Basketball is a niche sport in India, hence needs a lot of marketing and promotional muscle to be put behind it. Then there is the need to have as many courts as possible so that young people can join in and take a shot at basketball just like cricket can be played anywhere,” says a media observer.

    It is hoping to catch them young and make them learn about the sport, its stars and interact with it a lot more. For this purpose, it has partnered with
    Indian fantasy gaming company Dream11 to launch a free-to-play NBA fantasy game.

    Globally, basketball is the second most followed sport on Facebook, ranked by the number of people who follow at least one page connected to the sport, with cricket in fourth place. According to Meltwater, an online media intelligence company, football was the subject of 8.5 million new articles from 21 February 2016 to 21 February 2017, a third of the total number of all sports. Basketball was second, with 4.25 million, while cricket had 1.6 million – 6 per cent of the total, which was below baseball, tennis and rugby.

    Looking at the numbers on Facebook Live for the NBA in India, Mairu has rolled out a special NBA India mobile app. Says he: “Starting this season, we’ve launched an enhanced mobile app for fans in India providing lighter and faster access. The app provides fans in India with localised content, an enhanced user experience and reduced size. It supports low-bandwidth options to help users minimise their data consumption.”

    Amongst the customised shows figures the weekly highlight show – NBA Weekly, which focuses on the lifestyle and culture of basketball; NBA Hangout for which it has partnered with TVF and Sony Six. It airs the daily 30-minute game recaps which have been broadcast during prime time during the season.

    Says Gupta: “India is a priority market for the NBA and we are committed to growing the game and our fan base. We work with partners across programmes to ensure maximum amplification around our initiatives- be it with Reliance Foundation, India on Track, Jabong, Jack & Jones or Gatorade.”

    Diehard hoopsters would surely approve.

  • Roadster rides a new campaign, to stimulate passion

    Roadster rides a new campaign, to stimulate passion

    MUMBAI: Roadster, a casual outdoorsy lifestyle brand in India, launched a brand campaign – The Road is Waiting.

    The integrated campaign reinforces the brand’s promise as a trusted highway companion for the young and restless. The commercial, created for TV and digital, is a rallying cry to explore the road and it’s multitude of experiences, drawing straight from the brand’s signature state of constant transit.

    The commercial introduces viewers to “the gap in the world”, a special place in the world outside that waits to be claimed by you and me – those guilty of being caught up in the hustle of everyday life. This space is full of stories and experiences that is forever reserved for its intended owner. The underlying brand message is simple; that the highway life is incomplete without those who live through it and with this campaign; Roadster looks to call out to the viewer, egging them to find this gap and fill it.

    The film treatment feeds into the spirit of an open invitation – from the different, youthful voices in the narrative, to the protagonists breaking the fourth wall to acknowledge the viewer as they consume the experiences on screen and not in person. The messaging speaks of Roadsters making experiences happen for them, as against simply being at the right places at the right time.

    It’s worth noting that the film was shot entirely in India – a call the brand has taken thus far for every campaign, so that the depicted experiences are within easy reach for the Indian viewer. This sentiment of accessibility has always been close to the brand’s heart and reflected in the campaign’s social media legs.

    The previously male-centric and individualistic brand persona has also grown to include those who identify better with group experiences, not to mention a growing focus on female roadsters that has made Roadster, the largest selling brand on Myntra.

    Myntra CMO and Jabong head Gunjan Soni said, “Roadster has created a unique positioning in its own right and emerged a winner. This campaign, while focusing on the brand story, also focuses on the brand’s product offerings.”

    Myntra Fashion Brands chief Manohar Kamath said, “The new campaign beckons the viewers hoping to entice them and make them enthusiastic to go on a journey themselves. We have strategically looked at ensuring the brand message and its product offering comes through effectively by using diverse set of mediums including TVC, OOH and Digital.”

    Roadster is known for its innovative campaigns from the past such as the GTFO (Get The F*** Out) campaign with actor Ranveer Singh and the ‘PocketMan’ campaign – a live human experiment to interactively demonstrate how a person could live entirely out of their jeans for 48 hours.

  • Myntra signs on Chemistry & AKS, targets 10x growth & $1 bn valuation

AKS is an ethnic wear brand for the modern day Indian women. The brand’s strong product value proposition has helped it scale to a $6 million annual GMV in three years. Under Accelerator, it is expected to witness a growth of 10X over the next three years.

    Myntra-Jabong CEO Ananth Narayanan said, “We believe that the next 3-5 years will see the emergence of many new national brands. As leaders, Myntra and Jabong are well positioned to work closely with some of these emerging brands to propel them to the national stage.”

    The brands will be able to leverage our core strengths – largest mass premium customer base and data driven insights on consumer, while also getting operational support. We are looking at creating about $ 1 billion incremental valuation for the Myntra Accelerator brands over the next three years.

    CEO Chemistry Sunil Jhangiani said, “Being an offline brand with a strong foundation, our association with Myntra opens up a new world of opportunities for us in terms of reach, visibility and volumes through the online channel. Myntra’s expertise in building successful online brands over the years, backed by strong technological support will aid us in shaping the future of Chemistry and establishing it as one of the foremost fashion brands in the country. We expect the online sales to become 50% of the brand sales in 3-5 years.”

    AKS founder Nidhi Yadav added, “As an online-first brand, we started small with a passion for design and identity. By associating with Myntra, we are taking the first major step towards creating a national brand. Myntra’s ability to build brands through digital marketing, capture and provide insights on customer behavior and enable reach to eight million+ women shoppers will be a game changer for our brand.”

    With successful in-house brands such as Roadster and HRX, Myntra has the know-how of creating brands that have the potential to be category leaders. An online-first approach ensures that brands scale much faster and at better economies compared to an offline model. Through this program Myntra will help partners to build their brand online through Myntra and Jabong and also leverage data from the 18 million monthly active users to get insights on customer behavior and product assortments.
