    Lloyd’s campaign by Mullen Lintas featuring #DeepVeer goes live

    MUMBAI: Lloyd Air Conditioner’s latest ad film “Khayal Rakhenge. Khush Rakhenge”, highlighting an enjoyable take on its innovative technology, goes on air today. The brand-new film is targeting the young Indians who aspire for a fuller life and value products with technology that helps them live this kind of life. It’s a 360-degree launch across all platforms.

    The film conceptualised by Mullen Lintas features Bollywood’s power-couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. The film is aimed to drive high appeal amongst young Indians couples and families. It’s going to be the sneak-peak into the Bollywood couple’s life and will add to the already existing curiosity that people have had, about their personal life post marriage.

    Commenting on the thought behind the Campaign and Film, MullenLowe Lintas Group group CCO and chairman Amer Jaleel said, “Lloyd is a new-age Indian brand and the most important aspect of the brand to influence when it came to us was its voice. We felt that consumer durable brands are not able to reflect the millennial-speak that is so important to make brands relatable in this category. If you hear people and the brand, speak like you, you stop and listen however much the clutter. We were helped by the chemistry between our stars which while being electric is thankfully so normal! The fact that they were coming together for a brand that was a first for them, their own excitement and enthusiasm at being captured and working together got added with the magic of our ‘Badhai Ho’ director Amit Sharma. All this made the atmosphere on the set so amazing that I think we just put a camera and it translated the reality on celluloid without any loss!”

    Hoping the space that the brand has taken, will pique viewers’ interest and make it memorable. This is the first of many more films to be launched going forward, which will continue to captivate the audience’s interest.

    Stating further about the campaign, Havells India vice president marketing Amit Tiwari said, “Lloyd is a crucial piece in our brand portfolio and we want to fuel this business as a strong engine for our growth. We felt the brand needed a fresh perspective and proposition at this stage in its journey and found the narrative shared by Mullen Lintas compelling.”

  • SBI Life emphasises on happier responsibilities to celebrating life

    SBI Life emphasises on happier responsibilities to celebrating life

    MUMBAI: SBI Life Insurance, one of the leading private life insurance companies in India, launched its ‘Main se Hum’ campaign today, establishing a sharp focus on the company’s portfolio of protection products.
    The 360 degree campaign targets millennials across multiple platforms including TV, print, outdoor, along with digital and social media.

    Contrary to popular belief millennials are happy to take on responsibilities of safeguarding their loved ones, as they progress in life. SBI Life’s campaign positions insurance as a happy responsibility to help millennials progress through various life stages, subtly appealing to the cohort’s instinct of protecting themselves and their loved ones.
    The protective instinct that one acquires with the transition of ‘Main se hum’ is cleverly conceptualised and captured by Mullen Lintas in the launch film.
    Juxtaposing a carefree youth enjoying the thrill of standing close to passing metro train against a mature family man who is extra cautious while boarding a cable car with his wife and kid, subtly showcases the shift from ‘Main se hum’ as one grows in life. Using multiple everyday instances which showcase the transition of a carefree youth to an instinctively protective version of oneself, SBI Life’s ‘Main se hum’ campaign positions insurance as a happy responsibility tool for one’s protection needs.
    SBI Life SVP and chief of brand and corporate communications Ravindra Shrama says, “Our communication is aimed at driving awareness that insurance is a tool which takes care of one’s protection needs, essentially providing the peace of mind required to take on newer responsibilities in life.”
    He further added, “There is a clutter of brands pushing campaigns designed around media consumption patterns of the millennial. SBI Life on the other hand is appealing to the behavioural tendencies, which indicate that millennials are happy to take on responsibilities for their loved ones as they progress in life. We believe approaching insurance as a happy responsibility will also assist in widening the insurance penetration in India, over the long run.”
    Mullen Lintas chairman Amer Jaleel mentions, “The process of discovering insurance insights has been one of the richest experiences I have had in my career. With SBI Life we dug really deep to uncover the instinct of a protector. And that is that the protective instinct kicks in when you’re thinking changes from the younger ‘main’ thinking’ to the more mature ‘hum’ thinking’ and that is what we have based our work on. Insurance is that ‘main se hum’ ka kadam that we all have to take in life.”

  • New Bajaj Discover campaign celebrates the boy in every man

    New Bajaj Discover campaign celebrates the boy in every man

    MUMBAI: Discover, from India’s leading two-wheeler brand – Bajaj Auto, has released a new campaign conceptualised by Mullen Lintas. Bajaj Auto had recently re-launched the Discover with an upgraded Discover 125, and an all-new Discover 110. The campaign went live from 1 February and will be visible on television, print, outdoor and digital.

    Bajaj Auto Marketing VP Sumeet Narang said, “Discover is our brand which offers an energetic and spirited riding experience to daily commuters. It differentiates itself from the rest of 100-125cc commuter brands by offering a more fun bike to our customers who see themselves as hard working family men burdened with responsibilities. Finding relevance for Discover’s promise of performance was critical. Immersions with family men between 30-40yrs in large and small towns helped us arrive at the brand insight of how the boy in every man is always alive. Discover’s spirited riding can help him come out, once in a while.”

    The new Discover carries forward that legacy of exciting performance with an all-new long-stroke engine. It also has the additional advantage of exciting looks with first-in-class LED DRLs, first-in-class digital instrument display panel, all new stylish graphics, and a host of other style and performance upgrades. The new campaign shows how an exciting ride on the new Discover makes you as ‘zindadil’ as in your younger days.

    Mullen Lintas EVP Ayyappan Raj said, “It’s quite an important and significant campaign for us, considering the task of reintroducing brand Discover. The brief from the brand team was about how the new Bajaj Discover with stylish features, and powerful engine bring out the youthfulness in the rider and that’s exactly what we have managed to capture with ‘Bano Zindadil’. There are a lot of activities planned across media, ensuring this idea travels to a larger audience.”

    The song in the film, “Behti Hawa” from the movie 3 Idiots interestingly stirs the youthful memories in an office-goer. The communication captures the emotions that the rider goes through while enjoying the experience of his new Bajaj Discover.

    QuikrEasy shows you how things are done easy

    MUMBAI: Mullen Lintas Bangalore has conceptualised a three-film campaign for QuikrEasy, the services vertical of Quikr. The platform provides a way to find hyper-local services such as professional movers and packers, pest control, interior designers/architects as well as day to day services. Along with this, there is a special focus on its beauty services called AtHomeDiva.

    Mullen Lintas was tasked with this campaign to establish QuikrEasy as a one-stop platform for getting service providers for all home-related services with greater convenience, wider choice and peace of mind.

    Quikr CMO Vineet Sehgal says, “We often find the task of identifying, evaluating and then engaging with service providers cumbersome and end up delaying the task that can make life better. QuikrEasy symbolises the simplest and convenient way to manage small or big tasks in the easiest possible way.”

    The brand’s services find appeal with urban households who are pressed for time and are seeking assistance to smoothly manage their everyday household and lifestyle-related chores. Small or big but important tasks remain unfinished and are often postponed on account of other priorities.

    The first two films show the act of procrastination is amplified, be it fixing shelves or calling the pest control services, all postponed due to pre-occupation. The third film highlights the solution to the challenges urban females face while juggling between work, home and social responsibilities. This film shows the ease of indulging in the comfort of home for a wide variety of high-quality beauty services.

    Mullen Lintas national creative director Shriram Iyer adds, “Most of the times it’s the simplest of jobs that overwhelm us. Be it doing repairs, getting the house painted, or for women even getting a simple wax. It was this insight of what happens when the smallest chores hold us down and how with QuirkEasy’s convenience and speed everything can get resolved in a jiffy that informed our campaign.”
