    Moov launches new film Aao Dard Mitayein

    Mumbai: Moov, the name in pain relief solutions, has released its new campaign, Aao Dard Mitayein, for Moov, aimed at highlighting the brand’s commitment to providing effective pain relief for people of all ages. Since its inception in 1986, Moov has been synonymous with trust and efficacy, offering a range of products designed to alleviate everyday chronic pains.

    The new film, conceptualised by Havas Worldwide India, showcases Moov’s evolution over the years, emphasizing its enduring position as the go-to choice for individuals seeking long-lasting relief from aches and pains. Available in both gel and spray formats, Moov’s innovative formula, fortified with ‘Four Active Ingredients’, penetrates deep into muscles, providing warmth and relaxation for swift recovery.

    The film portrays the universal nature of pain and the importance of finding quick and gentle solutions to overcome it. By alleviating discomfort, Moov enables individuals to focus on what truly matters – cherishing moments with loved ones, pursuing passions, and making a positive impact on the world.

    Speaking about the campaign,  Reckitt regional marketing director, South Asia – Health & Nutrition Kanika Kalra said, “For over three decades, Moov has aimed to help people by not letting pain come in the way of their life. Our advertising has always reflected this purpose. As we worked on this campaign, we reflected on what Moov’s purpose meant for today’s India. Today, as Indians, we aim to maximize life by not just helping ourselves and our family but also by leaving a positive impact on the world around us. But, we can only do that if we are ourselves free of pain. That is what the new campaign by Moov tries to capture through it’s beautiful message of ‘Don’t let pain come in the way of doing good’. We believe that as India’s most-loved pain relief brand, Moov’s new campaign will resonate with every Indian and inspire them to maximize their lives pain-free.”

    Havas Worldwide India chief creative officer Anupama Ramaswamy said, “What makes this world go round is not the big things; it’s the small acts of goodness that people do for others without expecting anything in return. And Moov believes that the last thing that should come between such acts of goodness is physical pain. With this endearing story, Moov nudges you to go beyond the call of duty and relieve others of their problems… Aao dard mitayein.”

  • Sindhu endorses ‘Apno ke liye Moov karo’

    MUMBAI: Moov, the market leader in pain management solutions today announced its new ad campaign ‘Apno ke liye Moov karo’. In one of the TVC, Olympic medallist, P.V. Sindhu will be seen standing up to the nation spreading the key campaign message that Moov enables you to live through the expectations of your loved ones. With this campaign, Moov reinstates its market leadership in pain relief solutions through its product range in ointment and spray categories. The campaign theme of ‘Apno ke liye Moov karo’ aims to enhance connect with the consumers.

    RB India marketing head Rohit Jindal said ‘Moov has a legacy of helping people get instant pain relief. With the new campaign we want to say that pain is a sign of pushing yourself to try harder. P.V Sindhu is the pride of our nation and her dedication and determination towards her game is unmatched. We are proud to associate with her as a brand ambassador for Moov. She inspires all of us to moov beyond pain and stretch what is possible.”

    Mc Cann World Group India CEO Prasoon Joshi said, “Moov is a dynamic brand and this an insight campaign to further create a stronger brand connect. We really value our relationship with Reckitt Benckiser. We have already taken Dettol from strength to strength with a great partnership with the entire team. With this campaign Moov, am sure will come closer to our consumers”.

    Olympic medallist P. V Sindhu said, “I feel overwhelmed to be associated with Moov which is spreading the important message of living a pain free life. I have used the product and recommend it to everyone for instant pain relief and hope that this association will bring relevance to their endeavour”.

    In the stagnant category of rubs and balms, Moov decided to beat market leadership with thought-leadership. The category demanded a fresh perspective on pain and subsequently on relief. Pain has largely been depicted in clichéd narratives where the pain sufferer is shown as being unable to perform her chores or household responsibilities or has to compromise on an active lifestyle that gets interfered by incidents of pain. Consequently, even the depiction of relief has been around ‘restoration of normalcy’ – a homemaker back in the kitchen, a young couple back to playing sport, an executive running to catch a bus, etc. became markers of relief. All This demanded the depiction of pain with a fresh perspective. Moov has always understood not just pain, but the sufferer in pain. Falling upon its legacy, Moov understands the impact of pain on people’s lives and thus, the role of pain-relief. Thus was born the idea – ‘Apno Ke Liye Moov Karo’.

    The ad campaign was launched in January with their first ad featuring a working mother engaging with her child and doing everything possible to bring joy to their family. The ad showcases that the protagonist chooses to apply Moov and get rid of pain, hence making a right choice for herself and her family. It depicts the essence of the communication which Moov is trying to bring forth.

    In the series, the second ad campaign by Moov has been shot with the brand ambassador Sindhu. It brings alive Sindhu, an Indian athlete with huge fan following, practicing at one of the courts before a big match when she pulls her muscle while trying to pick a drop shot. The stadium starts filling with people in anticipation, the world starts preparing to watch the much awaited match (depicted in the TVC through various ways). That’s when P.V. Sindhu reaches out for a MOOV spray and shows her determination by rising for the occasion and kicks off the pain with her Moov spray. She takes a moment to settle and finally stands up for her fans and supporters, thus saying – ‘Apno ke liye Moov karo’.
