The film begins with the viewer visually entering a vibrant festive dance that comes alive on XPS 13’s screen, followed by losing oneself in watching a graphics intensive film with feature rich audio, the effect of which is evident on a glass of water kept next to the laptop. The film concludes with fans in a cricket stadium cheering for India, with every little detail coming to life without interruption, thanks to the unmatched streaming experience.

  • Dell Aarambh TVC encourages creative capabilities

    MUMBAI: Dell, India, has launched its new TVC conceptualized to encourage PC usage in learning, for students in their academic years. The TVC will be airing across leading kid’s entertainment and movie channels, as well as Hindi and regional news and general entertainment channels.

    With the theme Ek Behtar Kal Ka Aarambh, Dell is building upon its pan India PC for Education initiative Dell Aarambh launched in 2016 to spearhead the use of the personal computer in education. Dell will also be launching mobile video outreach to complement the reach of this campaign to its audience.

    Conceptualized and executed by GREY group, the TVC follows the journey of a bright young girl who sets out to solve a real life problem – that of having to travel a long distance all the way around a lake to go to school, each day. As the story progresses, we see the young girl partnering her personal computer to support her understanding of the Archimedes Principle to arrive at a practical solution to take her across the lake, saving both time and effort.

    Dell, India director marketing – consumer & small business Ritu Gupta said, “Our objective has been to equip young minds with technological capability such that they are prepared to build their future in a world that is becoming increasingly digital.”

    GREY Bangalore VP and business head Vishal Ahluwalia said, “The TVC has been shot in a real environment with a real life predicament bereft of any gloss. It tells the story simply and yet effectively. We are positive that this would appeal to parents and children alike and bring about the required change in acceptance of a PC being essential for education.”

    Dell Aarambh has been engaging with three key audiences – students, teachers and parents – in a series of activities meant to build their confidence and familiarity with using the PC.

    Dell Aarambh has been running on-ground and online programs since its inception in June 2016, and has covered a base of 3,305 schools and 59,349 teachers who have received PC training.

    In 2017, the program is reaching out to mothers with Dell DigiMoms, a PC awareness and training program which has been kick-started with a pilot in 8 towns in Karnataka and Maharashtra. The program aims to reach out to 16,000 households, and will be implemented by the 32 on-ground Dell digital correspondents to engage with mothers, showing them how to understand and best utilize the PC in aiding the holistic growth of their children.

  • Dell Inspiron says ‘I can do kuch bhi’

    New Delhi: The television commercial (TVC) campaign featuring Dell Inspiron with the tagline ‘I can do kuch bhi‘ aims to tell a story about how the youth of today have dreams bigger than a canvas can hold. They know no boundaries; have no fears and dream big. The TVC captures this spirit of conquering the world and making the world their stage.

    Dell director – marketing Ritu Gupta said, “Inspiring customers by providing them with technology that gives them “the power to do more” has always been one of Dell‘s biggest goals. Building an emotional connection between our customers and technology is integral to Dell‘s branding strategy.

    The TVC has been conceptualised by Grey and has been executed by Apostrophe Films production house. The recently launched integrated marketing campaign focuses on real customer experiences, highlighting how Dell enables customers to achieve their personal and professional passions. The marketing campaign features themes of personal achievement and business achievement to connect with consumers and enterprise customers respectively.

    The campaign is also supported by Print and Digital. The print campaign was launched last month and it showcases stories of achievement by profiling youth and their passions. The stories chosen were to showcase the youth keeping in mind the need for each story to be relatable.

    GREY group creative director Ram Jayaraman said, “Today, passion is power. The youth believe they‘re invincible, but there‘s a charming innocence in the way they wear this belief. Hopefully our film – with its lovely track – speaks not only of them, but for them too.”
