    Lowe Lintas and LinTeractive unveil inaugural digital campaign for HouseFull

    NEW DELHI: Upcoming furniture and furnishing destination Housefull.com has launched its first brand campaign exclusively on digital platforms, highlighting the durable furniture, by encouraging people to be ‘un-careful’ with their furniture.

    The creative expression, ‘No Rok Tok’ emphasizes durability, while touching upon HouseFull’s wide range of unique colours, design combinations and utility-driven shapes that fit both traditional and modern homes.

    The campaign has been conceptualized and executed by the Delhi offices of Lowe Lintas and LinTeractive, the creative and digital agencies (respectively) of MullenLowe Lintas Group. It comprises a series of short videos and a host of interactive content in the form of quizzes and animated gifs that lead to the core proposition of ‘No Rok Tok’.

    Housefull.com CEO Akshay Chaturvedi said: “Lowe Lintas & LinTeractive have done a great job in conceptualizing this campaign, which clearly conveys our strength to the consumers. It’s a different and unique take on the whole idea of furniture. It just doesn’t talk about design but also focusses on one of the most important factors that the Indian consumer considers while buying furniture – durability. This is our very first digital campaign and we are excited about it.”

    The campaign video explores the emotional bond between a mother and her son in a rather unusual way. The child is shown jumping on the bed out of sheer excitement which brings a certain joy to his face. Using furniture as the premise, the film captures the love that lies beneath a mother’s tough external garb as she encourages the child to carry on expressing himself freely without worrying about the outcome. This is also the ethos that HouseFull seeks to employ so that their customers enjoy a ‘No Rok Tok’ experience when it comes to celebrating special moments.

    “There is always somebody in the house who stops us from being completely free and comfortable. Whether it is not to put our feet on the table or not to jump on the bed in joy…there are always self-imposed restrictions, even at home. It is this very behaviour we wanted to change through our communication, riding on the fact that the quality of wood used in HouseFull furniture is very durable and solid. That’s where the germ of the idea of ‘No Rok Tok’ came from. The communication across digital platforms takes a stand against putting restrictions and self-imposed rules, and instead encourages people to be free and feel free to express themselves,” added Lowe Lintas Delhi Oresident Naveen Gaur.

    LinTeractive Executive Vice President Sumanta Ganguly said: “While digital (and more so e-commerce) has become a business of discount-led acquisitions; we believe that bringing the conversation back to product quality is an important and bold move that will help build the right kind of conversations around the brand. It’s no longer about producing the content to deliver reach but rather ensuring one uses it to generate relevant conversations around the brand.”

    Housefull.com is an online furniture and furnishings market place. It provides the best-in-class furniture solutions with quick delivery and after- sales service. Equipped with an in-house R&D team, the products are exclusively designed to best match the preferences and expectations of different buyers.

  • LinTeractive launches Deep Digitisation

    LinTeractive launches Deep Digitisation

    MUMBAI: LinTeractive, the digital arm of MullenLowe Lintas Group, unveiled a proprietary framework named Deep Digitisation at a major regional industry event today, in Singapore.

    Digital Transformation is a subject gaining currency, both as an opportunity and a cause-of-concern, across the industry over the past year. LinTeractive’s framework, Deep Digitisation, looks at re-imagining organizations for a digitized environment, leading to transformation as the outcome.

    Eight months ago, the agency set up a task-force of technologists, designers, analysts and strategists, to develop approaches that could help large organisations evolve for a digitised environment. The team, led by LinTeractive EVP Sumanta Ganguly came up with several hypotheses and some prototypes that eventually led to the Deep Digitisation framework. The agency claims to have tested alpha versions of it with some of its existing clients to establish applicability and robustness.

    MullenLowe Lintas Group — marketing services Group CMO and President Vikas Mehta said, “We’ve been in several conversations with clients about Digital Transformation over the past months. A pattern seems to be emerging, where a discussion with CMOs quickly evolves to include the CTOs and the CEOs as crucial players who need to come together to drive digitisation. While there are several offerings in the market that promise digital transformation, they come from either consulting or technology firms. Each has its own strengths, but almost all of them fall short of building an ecosystem around every company’s most important asset, its customers. This observation led us to start working on a model that could put users (including consumers), at the heart of an organisation’s digital ecosystem.”

    Speaking of the launch, Ganguly said, “Most of today’s successful companies were born in an era of competition. They are organised around competencies and structured to create competitive advantage. Their digital pursuits are reflective of this reality where every department is driving multiple digital efforts simultaneously. But when you add them all up, it ends up with common gaps, as well as duplicated efforts. In an era of collaboration, the whole company needs to come together as one, and create a seamless experience for every user group. We’ve attempted to achieve that through Deep Digitisation. The framework helps companies reorganize around their existing structures and yet, have a unified approach to digital transformation.”

    As per the Deep Digitisation framework – digital transformation is the outcome of an ecosystem of platform play that sets the stage for consistent innovation.

    Applied to organisations, the approach is semi-structured and leads to a customised solution in each instance. As Ganguly puts it, “What we’ve seen with most use-cases so far, it’s about two-thirds constant where the modules are plug-and-play, and one-third bespoke. The customization varies depending on the scale, complexity and ambition of the company.”
