MUMBAI: Are we bringing up our boys right? Do we tell them to share the chores at home? Do we tell them how to be responsible and sensitive partners? Do we tell them to respect women?
These are the questions that are plaguing the society at large today. In an attempt to direct attention to these questions and taking ahead the mantle of Nayi Soch, Star Plus has come up with a MD brand film which salutes mothers for being the champions of change.
A mother’s examples become permanent images, which shape their attitudes and actions for the rest of their life. Mothers can bring up the their sons right, if the right kind of thinking/value system is passed on to them since childhood, which they pick up subconsciously and sometimes consciously and as a result turn out to be sensitive and responsible men.
With this thought, a mother is taking a step towards building positive role models to create a better society (devoid of stereotypes) and thus being a Nayi soch mother.
MUMBAI: Rajnigandha Silver Pearls has launched a new video titled “Acha hai #Maa Kehti Hai” paying tributes to all the loving and caring mothers on the occasion of International Mother’s Day.
Carrying forward the success of the #Maa Kehti Hai campaign of past, the new video with an emotional storyline will be released on Facebook followed by an audience engagement exercise across social media channels, where users will be invited to share their mother’s story and tell us about their greatest hero; ‘Your story begins with your mother’s story and that story is the greatest of them all!’
The campaign highlights the inherent goodness that resides in every mother and connects with the brand proposition “Achchai Ki Ek Alag Chamak Hoti Hai”.
This film is based on the insight that mothers are taken for granted and their advice & instructions are not always appreciated by the kids. This video shows how difficult it is to manage a day without your mother. The video opens to a couple of shots where children are cribbing about their mother. The next day morning, kids find a note from their mother informing that she won’t be home the entire day and then everyone from the father, who is trying to make breakfast for the kids to the children who are trying to get ready for the School start struggling & missing her; after initial delight of being able to do “their thing”.
The next shot showcases that the kids are back from school and are delighted that their mother is not around to stop them from watching TV. However, they soon get bored and switch it off. No one says a word but their facial expressions clearly portray, how much they miss their mother. The mother returns home in the evening and finds the house in a mess.
The younger daughter runs to the mom and hugs her tightly and says, “Aap kahan chale gaye thay?” The elder one also adds, “acha hai aap chali gayi thi, aaj humein pata chala ki Mom banna kitna mushkil hai.” The mom also gets teary eyed and kisses her children. The film ends with a warm family moment as they all cuddle up and the tagline -Kitna accha hai ki maa humare liye har pal maujood hai. Iss mother’s day, shukriya adaa kare uss mom ka. AcchaHai #MaaKehtiHai.
DS Group associate VP – marketing Rajeev Jain said, “The essence of Rajnigandha Pearls, is ‘Achchai’, the inner goodness, which is an integral part of the brand’s communication.”
“The video emphasizes not only on a mother’s importance and existence in our lives but also highlights her sacrificing and giving nature. The campaign is in sync with the brand’s proposition of Achchai ki ek alag chamak hoti hai,” he added.
