    P&G brand Pampers unveils new #DekhKeHiMaanege campaign

    Mumbai: Pampers, the world’s leading baby care brand under the house of Procter & Gamble, has set a new benchmark of transparency, safety and innovation for consumers with its latest campaign #DekhKeHiMaanege, targeted at discerning parents.

    Reaffirming the unbreakable trust parents place in Pampers Diapers, the new #DekhKeHiMaanege campaign film addresses all questions parents have about the diapers they use for their babies. Parents are often confused about which diaper to choose for their baby. Every brand is claiming several things, the internet is filled with recommendations and even the neighbours have a point of view. The film features actor Nakuul Mehta and vocalist Jankee Parekh along with prominent parent influencers Ambica Agarwal and Shivani Kapila Tyagi being taken on a tour around Pampers’ state-of-the-art diaper manufacturing unit in Mandideep, Bhopal to have them see for themselves how the brand manufactures its diapers. After all, parents Dekh Ke Hi Maanenge.

    The group is guided by a Pampers expert who educates them about the 100+ safety, hygiene and quality checks and processes that are put in place to meticulously manufacture the diapers. This includes a zero human touch operation which means the first person to touch the diaper is the parent! The new parents also get to see how new and improved Pampers All Round Protection Pants perform better than other diapers to provide protection from rashes, up to 100% leakage lock and up to 12 hours long lasting absorption.

    “As new parents, we know firsthand the challenges and concerns that come with choosing the right diaper for your baby. Pampers’ #DekhKeHiMaanege campaign was an eye-opener for us. Visiting the Pampers manufacturing facility and seeing the rigorous safety and quality checks they put in place was reassuring. It’s clear that Pampers is dedicated to providing the best for babies, and we can confidently say that after seeing it all, ‘Dekh Ke Maanliya’. We believe Pampers is the right choice for parents who want the best for their little ones.” said actor Nakuul Mehta and vocalist Jankee Parekh.

    “At Pampers, we’ve always been committed to delivering the best care for babies. Our new #DekhKeHiMaanege campaign reinforces Pampers’ legacy as the gold standard in baby care, rooted in innovation, safety, and trust. With our new campaign film, we have raised the bar when it comes to being transparent with our consumers, further reaffirming their implicit trust in us,” said Procter & Gamble India VP president & category leader- babycare Chetna Soni. “We were delighted to welcome our new parents into our manufacturing plant and have them witness firsthand the entire process of making Pampers diapers. We hope that viewers of the film and all our consumers now know and understand why Pampers diapers are the leading choice for parents,” Soni added.

    Pampers knows that leakage and rashes are the parent’s biggest diaper concerns. To prevent diaper rash, Pampers uses lotion with aloe vera that serves as an anti-rash blanket. For leakage, especially in the thigh area, Pampers puts in place double protection leak guards in the thigh cuff area. The magic gel in a Pampers diaper not only absorbs not only absorbs up to 100% of the liquid but also locks it in for up to 12 hours. These diapers have no added chemicals, making them completely safe for babies.

    Through the film, Pampers gives the message to viewers that it understands these worries and has addressed each and every one of them at its manufacturing facility.

    Digital storytelling platform Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT) launches a brand-new property called ‘Streedom’ in partnership with OkCupid

    MUMBAI: From the 1st to the 15th of March, India's popular storytelling platform TTT (via its Instagram, Facebook and YouTube handles) will tell stories of women speaking up for themselves and their fellow women, as they take a stand against stereotypes, regressive remarks and other misdemeanors thrown at women – in a strong, savage and sassy voice that evokes thought, expression and participation from both men and women, country wide.

    Streedom has been carefully crafted to celebrate women from all walks of life, so as to encourage them to move on from caring about what they ‘should do', to actually 'doing what they want to do.'

    The campaign will culminate in a short film called Ved and Arya to be released on TTT’s YouTube channel. Starring popular TV actors – Nakuul Mehta and Sanaya Irani, the story will capture the challenges of finding love in today’s times, under the same context.

    Terribly Tiny Tales has delivered various successful women centric campaigns in the past, the last being 'I am Mrs. Maisel' with Amazon Prime. With Streedom gaining momentum, the campaign has already garnered accolades from its peers and massive social media traction already.

    Anuj Gosalia, Co-founder & CEO of Terribly Tiny Tales, mentions, “We are extremely excited to partner with OkCupid for Streedom. With over 63% women in our community of over 3 million followers, Streedom was a property waiting to happen. In addition, our short films are regarded as the best in the country – winning big awards like Clermont Ferrand, Filmfare and Jagran for our many films. OkCupid suits perfectly with our young and premium community of users. The dating app intuitively solves for many of the problems in modern relationships that our community associates with and is, therefore, an amazing partner to Streedom and its many stories.”

    Sitara Menon, Marketing Manager, OkCupid India, said, “At OkCupid we believe that you are more than a stereotype or clutch of images. You deserve a serious relationship built on shared opinions, beliefs, and a celebration of each other’s oddities. Partnering with Terribly Tiny Tales on Streedom has been an opportunity to bring to light the stories of young Indian women in 2020 — their aspirations, desires, and struggles, both in love and in life.”

    In a bid to capture the voice of the modern woman, the first edition of Streedom is a powerful IP that has already reached over 14 million people in the last 12 days and shows that women just have to be themselves to change the world.
