New Delhi: Titan has launched a new advertising campaign that aims to infuse warmth into the very moment a gift changes hands.
The brand wants the buyers to look at the iconic brand, and the original owner of the gifting platform, in a brand new light. A special part of this objective was to return the brand’s ever-popular theme music to its earlier status as gifting as a warmest mnemonic. The message is supported by a wide range of watches across several collections; one for every kind of gifting moment, or relationship.
The creative rendition of the brief celebrates the long-forgotten ‘Joy of Gifting’. The television commercial created by Ogilvy India showcases a playful and warm situation set in a college classroom. What initially appears to be routine mischief in an otherwise regular lecture snowballs into a heartening group effort by the students to thank their teacher. A rendition of Titan’s classic signature melody is recreated by the students in acapella form, by thumping on desks and classroom stationery, and of course their own voices. While the teacher looks on, overwhelmed by emotion, a student walks up to him and hands him a book that celebrates their memories. Upon flipping the pages, he finds in one of the pages, a sophisticated Titan watch.
Titan Watches Global marketing head & product head Rajan Amba said, “The new TVC rekindles an emotional bond that plays an important role in shaping our lives. Gifting is as much about receiving as it is about giving, and giving freely without expectations greatly increases the joy of giving. We have brought back the Titan tune in an emotional yet contemporary manner which is bound to bring back memories among an audience of all ages.”
Ogilvy executive chairman and national creative director Piyush Pandey, also shared his views on the commercial, “The new Titan campaign dovetails the introduction of more world class watches by Titan. The campaign explores deep human emotions associated with gifting. The first in the series is a tribute to the great Indian tradition of gurushishya.”
