  • I-Day: Hero salutes true heroes behind heroes

    MUMBAI: Hero MotoCorp has rolled out its Independence Day campaign with its third edition of #HeroSalutes. The campaign has been conceptualised by Law & Kenneth Saatchi & Saatchi and has been on-air from 11 August.

    #HeroSalutes is an attempt to bring the nation’s attention to the real heroes of the nation who are with the armed forces be it the army, navy or airforce. While last year, #HeroSalutes urged the nation to show respect and regard to our nation’s soldiers at all times at all places by saluting them, this year Hero has extended the sentiment to their families, the heroes behind the heroes. Families who miss out on their loved ones because they are away serving the country. And their absence becomes more evident on special occassions where they are missed most like the opening story of the film; a young boy who is missing his father at a football match while he notices all other fathers of his team-mates cheering for them on the field.

    Law & Kenneth Saatchi & Saatchi joint national creative director Rahul Nangia added, “How does a child, whose parent is away serving in the armed forces make sense of their absence? That’s heroism too!”

    While the film peaked on-air on 15 August, and screened in theatres, the campaign also had full page print ads in leading national dailies on 15 August as well and was supported with digital engagement on social media with unprecedented views and likes.

  • #PlayBackToBack for Skybag

    MUMBAI: Skybags has presented a refreshing campaign #PlayBackToBack to launch its latest range of backpacks.

    Creatively conceptualised and executed by Law & Kenneth Saatchi & Saatchi, PlayBackToBack showcases an imaginary scenario where brand ambassador, Varun Dhawan comes out of a bag portraying a non-stop life, packed with fun and style.

    The campaign is dubbed to some foot tapping background music describing the features of the new backpacks and at the same time representing multiple styles for different lifestyles. The new collection includes 81 fresh designs that reflect the passion and personality of college goers, young professionals and explorers who are ready to take on the world. From sturdy weekend rucksacks to impressive professional laptop bags to stylish college backpacks and colorful glow in the dark school bags there is something for everyone.

    Brand ambassador Varun Dhawan says, “PlayBackToBack is filmed on a very unique concept and it is extremely different from any brand film I have done so far. During the narration when I was told that I had to come out of backpack that itself got my attention and I so wanted to see how we can execute it. I hope my fans enjoy watching this campaign as much as I have enjoyed shooting it.”

    V.I.P Industries sales and marketing VP Sudip Ghose says, “As always the new collection will offer the best and the latest trends in backpacks. Today backpacks have become an essential part of our lives. People don’t just carry backpacks anymore, they wear them like an accessory. In this campaign, we have used an imaginary way of storytelling that unveils the collection and also depicts the lifestyle of our consumers which is portrayed exceptionally well by Varun.”

    Law & Kenneth Saatchi & Saatchi joint national creative director Rahul Nangia says, “Skybags is fun stylish brand, meant for the youth. The centre piece of the campaign is a film which captures the energy of the brand and its endorser, but is not limited by logic. And the best part is, it’s all been shot live. No CG!”

    MUMBAI:  L&K Saatchi & Saatchi has elevated Rahul Nangia to the position of joint national creative director, alongside Charles Victor. The move is a clear indication of the emphasis the organisation wants to put in its creative leadership space in order to live up to its global iconic reputation.

    Close Law & Kenneth helps Skybag arrive in style

    MUMBAI: Luggage manufacturer VIP has launched a new collection ‘Skybags Riviera’, under its youthful brand Skybags.

     

    Conceptualised by Law & Kenneth, the ad will feature brand ambassador John Abraham. The aim of the campaign is to build the brand value of style and create a youth promise that translates to consideration.

     

    About the campaign, Law & Kenneth chief creative officer (west & south) Rahul Nangia says, “You look at any conveyor belt at any airport around the world and you’ll find only boring black and grey bags. Skybags breaks the pattern. So the idea was to make people look at their own bag and wonder if they are being judged for it.”

     

    The research insight noted by the agency before the campaign was that bag is more than something one just lugs around. It is increasingly becoming an accessory, a part of your appearance. Today the travellers have evolved and are more style conscious. Luggage has now become a reflection of travellers’ personality.

     

    Elaborating on it, VIP marketing vice president Sudip Ghose says, “The ad was made to deliver a very simple but strong message that with the evolution of fashion conscious traveller, the bag is not just a utility but a reflection of who you are. This ad was made to highlight the positioning of Skybags as a trend setter – the most stylish and preferred luggage brand. The ad targets young professionals who are metrosexual, high on cool quotient and desire to make an impression where ever they go.”

     

    On what will distinguish the ad from the rest Ghose adds, “This ad is based on a real life situation and a phase that every traveller has to go through. The ad is direct and gets the brand attributes conveyed to the viewers that a travel bag is not just a utility but an extension of one’s personality. The tag line ‘Arrive in Style’ compliments the brand Skybags.”

     

    The campaign is on television, print as well as outdoor media. It will also be run extensively through cinema advertisement.
