    Shaadi.com stirs up Lucknow with giant kadhai ad

    MUMBAI: Who knew a humble kitchen kadhai could cook up such a storm? Shaadi.com’s latest outdoor campaign in Lucknow has done just that, turning a beloved North Indian superstition into a citywide spectacle.

    Partnering with Moms, the outdoor specialist from Madison World, the matchmaking platform unveiled a giant kadhai installation that instantly caught eyes and sparked conversations both on the streets and online. The campaign draws from the cheeky local saying, “Kadhai se kha liye? Shaadi mein baarish pakki!,” a superstition as familiar as it is funny.

    By turning that everyday phrase into a playful visual, the campaign struck a chord with audiences who couldn’t resist stopping for selfies, laughs, and a touch of nostalgia. It was a perfect recipe for virality, a mix of wit, warmth and cultural flair.

    “With this campaign, we wanted to showcase Shaadi.com’s relatable, light-hearted side in a way that truly connects with regional culture,” said Moms chief executive officer Jayesh Yagnik. “The kadhai idea taps into a shared superstition and turns it into a moment of joy and connection.”

    Shaadi.com brand manager – creative and social Johanna Israni added, “Some of the best ideas come from simple memories. Sneaking a bite from the kadhai is a universal moment, and we just blew it up, literally, to bring a smile to everyone’s face.”

    Conceptualised by Shaadi.com’s in-house creative team and executed with Moms, the campaign was further amplified digitally by Pulpkey. The result? A light-hearted outdoor activation that served equal parts nostalgia and novelty, proving that in advertising, sometimes all it takes is a good story, a great laugh, and one oversized kadhai.

    MOMS and Mother Dairy serve festive flavour at Lalbaugcha Raja

    MUMBAI; MOMS, part of Madison World’s expansive communications stable, has teamed up with Mother Dairy to light up Ganeshotsav at Lalbaugcha Raja with a splash of colour and clever branding. The campaign turned one of Mumbai’s most visited pandals into a canvas of festive cheer, weaving the dairy giant’s identity into the city’s biggest celebration.

    The takeover stretched across the pandal’s busiest touchpoints, from the Mannat line outdoor to the Lalbaug exit milestone gate. Each installation fused devotional spirit with Mother Dairy’s warm, everyday ethos, ensuring the brand stood tall in the swirl of faith, festivity and footfall.

    “Lalbaugcha Raja isn’t just an event, it’s an emotion for millions,” said MOMS, chief executive, Jayesh Yagnik. “Our goal was simple: to respect the cultural sentiment while creating a memorable brand presence.”

    Mother Dairy echoed the sentiment, noting that the campaign gave the brand a chance to engage directly with devotees. “Festivals are about joy and togetherness, and this celebration reaffirmed the bond we share with Mumbai,” said a company spokesperson.

    MOMS has built a reputation for scale and precision. With clients ranging from Asian Paints to Maruti Suzuki, its latest splash at Lalbaug shows that in the right hands, out-of-home can be as heartfelt as it is high-impact.

    Moms rolls out Mother Dairy’s expansive OOH campaign in Lucknow & Varanasi

    MUMBAI: Moms, the outdoor specialised unit of Madison World, has successfully rolled out a high-impact outdoor campaign for Mother Dairy, covering the key cities of Lucknow and Varanasi.

    The campaign spans a diverse mix of media formats, including billboards, unipoles, metro station branding, train wraps, LEDs and FOB facades — all strategically placed across high-footfall zones. The objective was to reinforce Mother Dairy’s strong presence in the region and engage consumers through a visually striking and expansive outdoor network.

    Speaking on the campaign, Moms VP – North & East, Prashant Mishra said, “Our strategy was to drive high-frequency and high-impact visibility through a blend of static and dynamic formats. Lucknow and Varanasi are key markets for Mother Dairy and this campaign ensures the brand connects with consumers through smart placements and extensive reach.”

  • Fevicol sticks its name on Mumbai metro station in branding coup

    Fevicol sticks its name on Mumbai metro station in branding coup

    MUMBAI, 13 March 2025 – In a brilliantly adhesive marketing move, Pidilite Industries has slapped its iconic Fevicol brand onto Marol Naka Metro Station, permanently bonding itself to one of Mumbai’s busiest commuter hubs.

    The station, now officially dubbed Fevicol Marol Naka, marks the first time the adhesive giant has glued its name to public infrastructure, creating an unmissable presence in a location that sees millions of Mumbaikars pass through its gates daily.

    The  rebrand coincides with what would have been the 101st birthday of Pidilite’s founder, the late Balvantray Kalyanji Parekh, whose first manufacturing facility stood a stone’s throw from the station – a connection that company bigwigs were keen to cement.

    “At Pidilite, we believe in building lasting bonds,” said managing director Bharat Puri in what must surely rank as the most on-brand statement ever delivered. “This initiative brings immense pride to our employees who frequent this station daily.”

    The station makeover, which reportedly cost Pidilite a packet that would make even Mumbai’s eye-watering property prices look reasonable, includes playful artwork featuring the brand’s legendary humorous advertisements that have stuck in the nation’s collective consciousness for decades.

    branding metro

    For commuters accustomed to Mumbai’s famously packed trains, the irony of being sandwiched together in carriages sponsored by the country’s most famous adhesive won’t be lost.

    Madison’s outdoor media specialists MOMS orchestrated the deal, with CEO Jayesh Yagnik noting that metro stations offer brands  “an effective and meaningful targeted audience.” 

    Times OOH –  which is the the sole concessionaire of Mumbai Metro Line1 –  COO Rohit Chopra was quite cock-a-hoop about the station branding. Said he: “ Times OOH is committed to delivering impactful brand experiences through high-visibility transit media solutions. We are confident that this station will prove to be a valuable addition to the brand’s marketing initiatives.”

    Industry insiders suggest this high-visibility gambit could trigger a rush of copycat deals, as brands scramble to paste their identities onto Mumbai’s expanding metro network before the best stations are taken. Chopra is  surely going find himself busy fielding proposals. 

    For now, Fevicol has ensured that its relationship with Mumbai’s commuters will be exactly what its products promise: impossible to separate.

By placing them creatively in an unexpected environment, we stood out and made a memorable impact.

This activity was one amongst a series of marketing efforts being deployed across various touchpoints for the promotion of this new range. It’s not enough after all for products to be innovative and differentiated. In today’s times, the marketing efforts should also be equally innovative and live up to the brand philosophy of ‘Soch Ke Banaya Hai’.”

    Speaking about the campaign and its idea, MOMS CEO Jayesh Yagnik said, “The ‘Touch Wood’ campaign is a prime example of the power of experiential marketing. While conceptualizing the campaign with Godrej Appliances, we focused on how creative thinking and strategic placement can create powerful brand engagement, transforming ordinary moments into unforgettable experiences.”

This activation not only sparked curiosity but also left an indelible mark on the passengers, offering a profound encounter with the Eon Vogue series, and leaving a lasting impression.”

  • Mother’s Day: Mylo’s campaign celebrates role of ‘Mom CEOs’

    Mother’s Day: Mylo’s campaign celebrates role of ‘Mom CEOs’

    Mumbai: Mylo’s has launched its new digital campaign recently to celebrate mother’s role as ceo– chief everything officer.

    Every mom is a CEO, in charge of leading her family and responsible for its efficient functioning that requires juggling multiple functions.

    Motherhood is often portrayed as one joyous ride but in reality, it is a myriad of emotions – lots of joy indeed but also a fair bit of exhaustion, sleep deprivation and a lack of recognition for the efforts it takes in raising a child.

    Through this film, Mylo highlights that motherhood is a full-time job that deserves to be recognized and appreciated. By showing a conversation between a couple who have recently become parents, the campaign addresses the ill-informed opinions about a mother’s role and celebrates her efforts and dedication in helping raise a happy family.

    The film concludes with Mylo reiterating- ‘Iss Mother’s Day, Mylo sabhi Mom CEOs ka dil se aadar karta hai.’

    Mylo’s head-content & community shaveta gupta said, “In the humdrum of life, it’s easy to overlook or take for granted the central role Moms play in every household. Moms are the wheels and the glue that keep a family on track and together. Moms do everything for everyone every day and deserve the CEO title before anyone. They are the real CEOs in life! Mylo invites everyone to both acknowledge and celebrate the role of the mom as the Chief Everything Officer this Mother’s Day.”

    BTDT Media’s founder Arjun Kapadia said, “As I think about it, my company’s name fits perfectly with the concept we have implemented; mothers have ‘Been There, Done That’. I’ve grown up seeing my mother be the CEO of our household and now my wife, so women have already played an important role in my life. I’m honoured to have been a part of such a fantastic project that recognises the importance of mothers and the roles they play in our lives.”
