  • RuPay kicks-off IPL innings with new campaign featuring Ishant Sharma

    RuPay kicks-off IPL innings with new campaign featuring Ishant Sharma

    Mumbai: National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) has floated its first Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign ‘RuPay. Be On-The-Go.’ Featuring Indian fast-bowler Ishant Sharma, the campaign highlights the many benefits of RuPay On-The-Go on cards and other convenient form factors such as smartwatches, keychains, mobile stickers, and wristbands.

    As part of the high decibel campaign, five advertisement films are released on television, OTT, digital, and social media platforms. The brand has also roped in popular cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle and former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag to endorse the campaign on Twitter.

    The film revolves around the banter between three characters- an umpire struggling with payments, a batsman who knows how incredible RuPay is, and who takes it upon himself to educate our umpire on it, and fierce pacer Ishant Sharma. The umpire gets so distracted by the amazing and innovative RuPay offerings that the batsman is sharing with him, he doesn’t even notice that Ishant Sharma has bowled, rapped the opener on the pads, and is now screaming ‘Howzzaaaatt!,’ waiting for an ‘Out’ from him. What follows is a ‘match freeze’ where the entire match pauses, as we see Ishant now doing his best to catch the Umpire’s attention by shouting ‘Howzzatt’ in hilarious ways. With RuPay on Umpire’s mind and his conversation with the non-striker still on, he registers Ishant’s appeal and starts to raise his finger finally shouting ‘Out-standing’ for RuPay.

    Conceptualised by DDB Mudra, the new campaign has beautifully and humorously captured Ishant’s dynamic action of ‘Howzat’ to weave together the films. The campaign also features four short films which reinforce the concept in various situations involving payments for international use, for the convenience of paying using RuPay On-The-Go enabled watch(at a grocery store) and keychain (at a drive-thru), and for bus/metro travel. The films not only create awareness about RuPay On-The-Go but also show how payments can be quick, safe, easy, and hassle-free for customers.

    The films underscore the availability and accessibility of the RuPay cards. The advertisements highlight that every bank in India is issuing RuPay Debit cards and a large number of banks and prepaid/credit card players are also issuing RuPay prepaid and credit cards.

    Furthermore, the films also create awareness amongst customers to ensure activating their cards for contactless, e-commerce, and international transactions per the regulatory requirements in India.

    TenderCuts promises ‘freshest meats’ in new marketing campaign

    Mumbai: TenderCuts, the meat and seafood omnichannel company has launched its new ‘Good meat. Genuine meat. Always.’ proposition in a multi-film campaign conceived by Lowe Lintas Bangalore.  The key objective of the campaign is to increase brand awareness and consideration to drive trials by consumers. 

    Consumers today are increasingly wary of the quality of products available in the market – especially meats and seafood. Most people still prefer to physically purchase the products to ensure that they are not compromising on the quality. Lowe Lintas has used this insight to showcase the various elements of TenderCuts communicating that the brand offerings are best in quality, said the statement.

    TenderCuts integrated creative will be live across TV, digital, print, and OOH in multiple markets, especially in Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore where the brand has a strong foothold currently, it added.

    The campaign consists of three films highlighting different messages by the brand – the first one showcases the best quality meat products at the most honest prices, the second one features the ready-to-cook range by TenderCuts which consists of the freshest meat that is freshly marinated, and the third film focuses on the fact that all products are freshly cut only after an order is placed. The ads feature well-known South actor Prakash Raj.

    “Prakash Raj is truly a fabulous actor and brings the campaign alive with his engaging humour and seasoned acting skills. Through our omnichannel presence we endeavour to offer the best quality, genuine meat always,” said TenderCuts founder and CEO Nishanth Chandran. “Our customers can now see our proposition of freshly cut after you order come alive through our efficient Tech based QR code, by which customers can know when, where and by whom the meat was cut.”

    “We are really excited about the campaign & through this we want our customers to become aware of the Tender promise,” stated TenderCuts CMO Aruna Jathar. “At TenderCuts we believe in doing things that are right for the customer and that is table stakes. We highlight this undeniable fact through our new & remarkable campaign which is spun around the promise of Good Meat, Genuine Meat, Always!”

    “TenderCuts is all about honesty. Be it their prices, their quality or even their practices,” remarked Lowe Lintas executive director and branch head  Sonali Khanna. “Most of the time this is experienced first-hand by those who visit their stores. We wanted to achieve the same emotion. By roping in a celebrity like Prakash Raj, we felt it would be nice to let him experience this honesty first-hand. Hence the idea of a shoot within a shoot.”
