    GoMechanic ropes in Sharman Joshi for its out new digital campaign

    Mumbai: GoMechanic has launched a new campaign and roped in Bollywood actor Sharman Joshi as the brand ambassador. The digital marketing campaign #ShaantSharmanShaant is inspired by the everyday anxiety of cars meeting with an accident or being totaled.

    The #ShaantSharmanShaant campaign was conceptualised by GoMechanic’s in-house creative team, with the help of production house Bambai Dreams Entertainment.

    The ad film highlights various value propositions of GoMechanic, primarily convenience and ease of use, further showcasing its transparent pricing and expert services.

    The advertisement begins with Sharman Joshi’s car getting rear-ended and the actor stepping out of the vehicle looking furious. He then asks the person to dance, but the ad film concludes with Sharman dancing with the simpleton and asking him not to stress about these things as it tends to happen all the time. The ad film concludes with the message that GoMechanic offers over 150 expert car services with transparent pricing, thus solving most customers’ anxiety.

    GoMechanic brand strategy head Adhiraj Saksena said, “With our efficient and at-your-door services, GoMechanic has aimed to encourage hassle-free car ownership. However, we recognise and understand how any issue in your car is enough to give you anxiety. Therefore,  we believe that brands today should communicate relevant solutions to consumers while highlighting the challenges in a compelling story. This advertisement was inspired by regular road rage when people get into unnecessary fights. Through this campaign, we hope to spread the idea that anything and everything, including your car, can be fixed, so a sense of camaraderie could foster harmony.”

    Mumbai: AirAsia India has launched a 360-degree marketing campaign inviting flyers to become ‘Aviators’ and make the most of the benefits of the NeuPass rewards program by Tata Neu. The campaign is based on the insight that being a part of a family is a rewarding experience.

    Conceptualised by  AirAsia India’s creative agency, Wunderman Thompson India, the campaign features three distinct films with quirky and heart-warming human stories that bring alive the joy of being part of a family.

    Speaking on the launch of the campaign, AirAsia India chief marketing officer Siddhartha Butalia said, “The NeuPass rewards program affords us the unique opportunity to redefine loyalty from the commoditised and transactional nature of traditional frequent flyer programs where individuals are defined by numbers, to a seamless and fulfilling experience of recognition and reward in every interaction. The campaign resonates the essence of what being part of a family is meant to be – a relationship of understanding, a feeling of fulfillment and an experience that is truly rewarding.”

    Speaking of this association, Wunderman Thompson senior national creative director Priya Shivakumar commented, “We saw the launch of this unique rewards program and the wonderful benefits of becoming an Aviator with AirAsia India as an opportunity to communicate simple and endearing human stories with a touch of humour that bring alive the fact that close friends and family are the ones you can always count on. The campaign ties back seamlessly to the thought of ‘redeeming rewards from each member of the family’ which was the idea we set out to deliver. By doing this, we not only elevated the conversation, but also made it as personal and fulfilling as the rewards.”

  • Ozone, Dentsu Impact launch latest campaign ‘Hum Sab Sambhal Lenge’

    Ozone, Dentsu Impact launch latest campaign ‘Hum Sab Sambhal Lenge’

    Mumbai: Ozone, in partnership with Dentsu Impact has launched its latest campaign called ‘Hum Sab Sambhal Lenge.’ While most German kitchen hardware brands want us to dream of kitchens like five-star lobbies, through this campaign, Ozone takes a more pragmatic and honest look at what a real Indian kitchen is.

    Conceptualised and executed by Dentsu Impact, a dentsuMB Company and the creative agency from the house of dentsu Creative India, the series of five quirky and honest films are individual stories of people in the kitchen in a microformat. They remind us of how our kitchens are a different ball game altogether from the dreamy advertisements we are fed. 

    The films beautifully capture these slices of life, emphasising that the brand understands the consumer efficiently. They showcase kitchens witnessing pots and pans flying in moments of passion and where the in-house brat pulls out the drawer to play the harmonium. With this, the brand underlines the stringent testing that the products undergo, which gives it the confidence to promise that no matter what happens ‘Hum Sab Sambhaal Lenge.’ 

    “Our products are designed for long-lasting use. They are durable, and elegant and are tested stringently to work in demanding kitchens. Much like the conditions the films capture,” commented Ozone Overseas president Abhishek Aggarwal. “We usher in world-class quality and support to a market that today is ready and is discerning. We want them to know that we understand them like no other.”

    “The expression ‘Hum Sab Sambhal Lenge’ gives confidence to the TG that no matter what kind of pressure they put on the kitchen hardware, Ozone will handle all of it since it understands Indian kitchen and usage,” said Dentsu Impact executive VP Ujjwal Anand, adding that, “In a market that is driven by a retailer’s recommendation and push, ‘Hum Sab Sambhaal Lenge’ is equivalent to ‘Arre sir! Main baitha hoon yahan’ ‘Main keh raha hoon na sir’ ‘Aankh band kar ke le jao’. The articulation gives the assurance to the consumers of the quality and at the same time helps retailers with a whole new pitch.”

    “Unlike German kitchens, a plank most of the leading players use, the Indian kitchen with large extended families is accessed by everyone – kids, grandparents, maids and cooks. From Chintu the brat to Pinki the angry teen. Also, everyone has their own style of operating the kitchen, which entails quite a bit of careless and rough usage. In many families, kitchens never stop functioning,” remarked  Dentsu Impact executive creative director Mayank Khattar. “Imagine then the load on it; and to depict that, we carefully picked up a family setting with each of its members accessing the kitchen in their signature way and for their own needs. The films are all about these people subjecting the kitchen to any treatment they deem fit.”
