MUMBAI: Officer’s Choice Blue, from Allied Blenders and Distillers, is all set to join the IPL bandwagon once again. While this is the second year of the brand’s association with Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils, it will be a debut with Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Officer’s Choice Blue snacks will be visible on the head gear of the Delhi Daredevils as part of the sponsorship deal, and will drive visibility and multiple consumer engagement programmes with all three teams.
Allied Blenders & Distillers COO Bikram Basu said, “IPL is more than a game of cricket- its pure entertainment- and we are certain that it will benefit Officer’s Choice Blue to connect closer with its target audience.”
Besides cricket, Officer’s Choice Blue has been associated with various music and sports initiatives, including being long term title sponsors of the IFA Calcutta Football League.
Kishore Chhabria-promoted ABD is the third largest spirits company, and the largest domestic company in India with volumes of 36 million cases for the year 2015-16 and expanding at a CAGR of 20% over the last three years – making it the fastest growing.
MUMBAI: Officer’s Choice Blue has launched a new advertising campaign ‘Salute to Banta Hai’ – communication that repurposes its long-standing platform of the ‘Good Samaritan’. The four TVC’s narrate testing situations, in slices of everyday life, and defines their actions to make for a better and caring world.
The communication conveys the ‘good’ in actions of giving way to an ambulance over a VIP vehicle, respecting the lowest ranks in office, concern to assuage apprehension of a woman traveling alone, and bringing help to people in need.
The narratives create a strong people connect – with positive actions that are spontaneous and relatable- embedded in the belief, and keeping the faith in doing ‘good’. The TVC’s end with the tagline ‘Salute toh Banta Hai’ -which acknowledge the contribution of these everyday heroes.
The campaign has been conceptualized by Metaphor, A Triton Communication subsidiary and directed by Rajesh Saathi from Keroscene Films.
Triton Communications national creative director Ullas Chopra said, “This has been quite an interesting campaign. The challenge was to present righteousness in a manner which is not preachy or confrontational. We decided to take an approach that applauds people for their efforts to do the right thing and be good Samaritans. Once in awhile we get an opportunity to work on communication that warms people’s hearts and remind people of their better side. The most satisfying thing for us has been how all elements came together – the storytelling, the music and the lyrics. We set out to touch hearts and I think we managed to do that very well.”
Allied Blenders and Distillers VP marketing Ahmed Rahimtoola said, “The process, starting from segmentation research to effectively delivering on new communication, has been incredible. Officer’s Choice franchise is the largest in its category globally, and it is imperative that we deliver ahead of expectation. We take pride in the aesthetic communication which very strongly conveys the brand’s long–standing view on righteousness, and the need to bring about positive change.”
Metaphor, a Triton communications subsidiary agency, has been roped in as planning and creative agency. The film is produced by Keroscene Films and directed by Rajesh Saathi and produced by Harish Nambiar.
