  • Ogilvy’s Choudhary only Indian to make it to Cannes’ ‘See It Be It’

    MUMBAI: In 2014, Cannes Lions launched See It Be It. A programme that responded to the gender imbalance in the advertising industry – only 25% of agency creatives are women, and just 11% reach creative director level. The stats for India, being woefully lower.

    Every year, 15 future leaders from all over the world are chosen to be part of this programme. And this year, Sakshi Choudhary from OgilvyOne, Mumbai, has made it as India’s sole representative.

    Following a series of written submissions and a rigorous interview, Sakshi secured her place at See It Be It from among hundreds of entrants across the globe. The programme involves a series of specially curated sessions at Cannes Lions that include workshops, behind-the- scenes with jury members and one-to-one mentoring with leaders from the global advertising fraternity.

    A delighted OgilvyOne Worldwide president Vikram Menon said: This is truly wonderful news. It is a proud moment for all of us at Ogilvy. Sakshi has been a stand-out performer ever since she became part of the Ogilvy family and this is just reward for years of commitment to her craft. Hopefully, this inspires many more women to push for leadership positions in the coming years.

    Sakshi Choudhary is at present the creative supervisor at OgilvyOne Mumbai where she manages some of the agency’s iconic brands including Dove and Coca-Cola. A multiple award-winner, she has also been recognised among ‘India’s Top 30 under 30’ – a listing of the country’s 30 Most Promising Young Achievers in the Media and Advertising Industry under the age of 30. Outside her day job, Sakshi is the founder of The Seesaw Project – an initiative that seeks to simplify the complex issues of gender bias, using art.

  • New OgilvyOne film shows new London via British Airways

    MUMBAI: After tugging at your heartstrings last year with ‘Fuelled by Love’, British Airways brings you its latest brand campaign ‘Discover the London You Don’t Know’. In the form of a digital film, the campaign showcases a versatile London, which, while being immersed in legacy, provides young millennials with its contemporary delights. 

    The digital-film will be promoted on British Airways’ social media channels including, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and run alongside print, digital, outdoor and social media campaigns from  02 May until 20 May 2017.

    British Airways has committed to putting the customer back into the heart of everything they do, and connect people and possibility in the moments that matter the most. The brief was to make British Airways seen as the catalyst of unforgettable experiences, adventures and making memories. The creative had to connect both rationally and emotionally with the India’s younger population. The germ of the idea came from the insight that today’s Indian travellers are more travellers, than tourists. They look for offbeat experiences through which they discover themselves better. Also, across generations, London has been a character in most people’s travel stories, never a destination and British Airways has been a trusted partner since 1924 in many such stories. Thus, the idea of following a young man’s journey to London to retrace his grandfather’s footsteps.

    Seen through the eyes of a young man from Chennai who discovers his grandfather’s journal, the viewers are taken on a journey in which he relives his grandfather’s time in London, eventually discovering a city he did not know. Blending nostalgia with youthful exuberance, the protagonist savours London from new perspective.

    OgilvyOne WW New Delhi senior creative director Abhishek Gupta says, “The idea was to show that no matter how many London stories you have heard, there’s always one that you haven’t. Because that story is for you to discover. And choosing to fly British Airways is the best culmination to any story about London. Also, there’s the fact that Indians have been flying British Airways for generations. The challenge was to create a film that captures both these facets.”

    British Airways’ head of sales – Asia Pacific and the Middle East Robert Williams says, “From culture seekers and sporting fans to shopaholics and foodies, everyone on a holiday is spoilt for choice across London’s unique multicultural offerings. Through this campaign, we would like to encourage our customers to fly to London and make their own London story.”

    Flying to London has become even more cost effective with the strength of the rupee against the pound. With these great value offers and so much happening in London, this is the best time to visit the city, Robert added.

  • OgilvyOne launches 5 Star’s Ramesh Suresh cricket videos on Vine

    OgilvyOne launches 5 Star’s Ramesh Suresh cricket videos on Vine

    MUMBAI: After delighting unsuspecting movie-goers in PVR Cinemas and commentating live for the India-South Africa match, Ramesh and Suresh, who feature in the ad for Cadburys 5 Star, have a new job up their sleeves.

     

    Responding to requests made by Cadbury 5 Star fans, OgilvyOne made the duo India’s unofficial cricket coaches, who were on a mission to teach everyone, including our boys in blue, a thing or two about cricket.

     

    All through the day, the brothers kept eating Cadbury 5 Star, kept getting lost and giving coaching tips to the teams, umpires, audience and their fans. Understanding youthful demands of constant entertainment, the brand decided to leverage Vine by creating real time video content.

     

    With 20 Vine videos that ranged from fielding instructions, to dealing with sledging, from a booty shake celebration to a special message to Virat Kohli, they found a way to make the match even more enjoyable.

     

    OgilvyOne senior creative director worldwide George Kovoor said, “This is the first time a brand has used Vine to create real time video content during an event as big as the Cricket World Cup. It is also one of a series of social media innovations and ideas that Cadbury 5 Star created to start conversations during the World Cup and amplify the promise of Jo Khaaye Kho Jaaye.”
