London Dairy indulges Indians in ‘International Ice Cream Month’

MUMBAI: London Dairy is celebrating International Ice Cream Month all of July. A month that is much revered in the West from erstwhile President Reagan’s time, the celebration comes to India and London Dairy makes sure we all indulge in some delicious ice cream. What more could anyone ask for? One month dedicated to love, laughter, and limitless indulgence of ice creams.

Making the most of this occasion, London Dairy decided to reach out to its consumers through a campaign on social media and on-ground activations. The idea behind this campaign #LondonDairyIceCreamMonth, was to make consumers indulge in the extensive London Dairy range of ice creams and help them relish their special moments. Adding excitement to the campaign, the brand urged the consumers to share their special moments through London Dairy ice creams on social media. This created a huge frenzy twitter as tweeple went crazy sharing their London Dairy special moments with loved ones making the campaign #LDIceCreamDay trend #2 pan India. Tweeple thoroughly enjoyed participating and this was evident from their rampage of sharing fun and candid pictures showcasing their moments of indulgence with loved ones.

As part of the campaign’s on-ground activation, the brand had devised a London Dairy Squad in Mumbai and Delhi, where the Men In Tux from London Dairy barged into the coolest busy offices of the city, asking everyone to freeze and stop their work. The Squad then explained how work can get very monotonous and how one must indulge in things they love the most….in this case Ice Cream. The London Dairy Squad then opened up tubs of London Dairy Ice Creams and surprised the employees with a variety of flavours like Strawberry Cheesecake, Mango Sorbet, Tiramisu and Berries n Cream, to engage them in the merriment as they turned around a boring and monotonous day into an indulgent experience.

London Dairy marketing head Shweta Shrivastava expressed her views saying, “On the occasion of international ice cream day, the London Dairy Squad reached out to young working professionals in an attempt to break the monotony of a regular work day and enthrall them with an indulgent London Dairy experience! Throughout the ice cream month, we had a lot of activities for our consumers, celebrating this theme and indulging our consumers the true London Dairy way.”

London Dairy also engaged with consumers on social media like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook inviting them to join the celebration as they celebrated July 17, 2016 as World Ice Cream Day and became one of the first premium ice cream brands to get this culture here in full swing. The response received on all social media platforms was so over whelming that #LDIceCreamDay was trending #2 in India throughout the day.

Brands share excitement behind partnership with season 6 of ‘Game of Thrones’

MUMBAI: Game of Thrones season 6 has managed to lure viewers and attract advertisers alike with a roster of big brands associating with it. Star World Premiere HD has roped in e-commerce giant Amazon as presenting sponsors, Maruti Suzuki Baleno is a driven by sponsor and London Dairy and Ola Micro are powered by sponsors. Additionally other brands that have come on board are Housing.com, Matrix and Motorola as partners and Essilor, Yamaha, Himalaya and Sunny Lite as associate sponsors. Expedia, Skore and P&G OralCare are some other sponsors that the channel has roped in.

It is safe to say that the demographic tuning into the on-screen adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s spectacular creation may just be close to the total population on the planet! Inspiring new hordes of fans of the fantasy genre each year, Game of Thrones is now a household name right across the globe, attracting critics, literary geniuses, lovers of edge-of-the seat thrills and just like that the commoner who enjoys a truly well-made and well-narrated show.

Here is what brands have to say:

London Dairy head of marketing Shweta Shrivastava said, “Season 6 has been filled with potpourri of emotions and the series stays true to its intriguing twists and turns. Of course, Jon Snow was not going to wake up in the first episode as the teasers indicated, but the short sequence on Sansa, Theon and Brienne brought some sense of relief to a series where audience heartbreak has been the only constant. However, the true form of Melis and retrumped all else in terms of shock value. A character that shows absolutely no self-doubt throughout the series is finally showing fine cracks. What I await to see is what Bran brings to this convoluted series of events. We are proud to partner with Star World Premiere HD in helping get this much awaited series to India and look forward to unravel the series even as our consumers unravel the sheer indulgence of London Dairy ice creams this summer.”

Expedia marketing head Manmeet Ahluwalia voiced, “Once in a while a show comes along that transports you to another world and makes you believe in the magic of television again. Game of Thrones is one such show. It strikes the perfect balance between brooding medieval angst and wonderful fantasy story telling. It sticks loyal to the books and doesn’t “dumb things down” for a wider audience. My favorite character across all seasons is Arya Stark, Tyrion Lannister and Daenerys Targaryen because of their strong personality. I loved the first season; it brilliantly established the universe of George R.R. Martin’s source material. The most memorable scene for me is when Jon Snow gifts Arya ‘Needle’- the sword with a teaching- ‘Stick them with a pointy end.’ I am eagerly waiting to see if Jon snow will be joining Daenerys Targaryen. Though, it’s quite predictable that Jon Snow will join the Khaleesi and prove the prophecy right.”

Skore Condoms marketing head Vishal Vyas added, “My favourite season on the show so far is Season 1 because the introduction of the all main characters was very interestingly done. Moreover, Ned Stark’s beheading was extremely unexpected and that invited a very different twist on the show. I am hooked to Season 6 since the story seems to now start unraveling and I would love to see Tyrion Lannister rule the seven kingdoms. He is also my favorite character on the show because he is funny and probably the smartest guy in the series.”

Procter & Gamble Oral Care assistant brand manager Abhijit Aswath shared, “I am an ardent Game of Thrones fan. I feel every season is packed with qualities that define great story telling – building some key characters, shifting the balance of power and rise and fall of power houses. Season 4 is probably my favorite season of the series since it is extremely action packed with 3 key characters – Jon Snow, Daenerys, Tyrion all pushed to the Wall; literally for Jon Snow and figuratively for Khaleesi & the little man, and how each of them use their best wits, skills and political acumen to come out strong. After Mahabharata, Game of Thrones probably is one such story which has all the complexity and drama you need in a grand tale -tussle of the truth/what’s right/wrong, magic and politics. After Season 5, the stage was set for the story to go to the next level and Season 6 lives up to this expectation so far. My fan theory is that next, Daenerys and the dragons will discover a land of wealth, wit and great science capable of defeating the Dead Men by giving them Moksha – a land called Industeros.”
