    Saatchi & Saatchi Propagate’s campaign for UPES showcases the power of education

    Mumbai: Saatchi & Saatchi Propagate, part of Publicis Groupe India, has conceptualised the launch  campaign for UPES ON, a new entrant into the online degrees and learning space. This two-film  campaign showcases inspiring stories of individuals who have transformed their lives with an  additional online degree. The films have been shot in Hindi, English and Telugu for better reach.

    The first film “Driving Tomorrow” highlights the remarkable journey of a man who, despite life’s  challenges, chose UPES ON and went on to achieve great success. The second film “REBEL”  features a girl who opted for UPES ON’s online education over traditional college, forging her  own path as a decisive and independent thinker.

    Saatchi & Saatchi Propagate EVP & business head Prachi Bali said, “We aimed to create a  campaign that not only exhibited the transformative capability of education but also connected  with the viewers on an emotional level. Through these films, we have knitted a yarn of touching  and inspiring stories, each reflecting the success that comes with knowledge.”

    UPES ON senior director global sales & marketing and business head Sumanth Palepu added,  “The stories from the two campaigns, ‘Driving Tomorrow’ and ‘REBEL,’ highlight how education  can make a big difference in people’s lives. Both campaigns tell us that education can shape your  future, no matter how you choose to learn. UPES ON is all about supporting unique journeys and  encouraging people to choose online degrees that match their dreams. It’s a call to action to  rethink education and take charge of your own path in a world that’s constantly evolving and  creating new and innovative ideas.”

    Saatchi & Saatchi Propagate, creative director, ECD & Delna Dastur Sudarshan Sudevan further commented, “While UPES ON provides an opportunity to pursue online education, we  focused on capturing the emotions experienced by students after completing their education. In  the two films, we delve into emotions such as a profound sense of achievement and pride,  coupled with the empowering feeling of creating one’s own narrative. These films help us strike  a chord in the hearts of people, further making them want to pursue an online education.”

    The campaign films are live and will have presence across digital platforms as well as in cinema  halls.

    L&K Saatchi & Saatchi’s ‘Live The Legend’ campaign unveils Hero’s Karizma XMR

    Mumbai: L&K Saatchi & Saatchi, a part of Publicis Groupe India, has conceptualized the launch campaign for Hero MotoCorp’s premium and iconic bike Karizma XMR. Titled  #LiveTheLegend, the campaign pays homage to the rich legacy of Karizma, known for revolutionising sports biking in the country. This strong nostalgic association and the  emotional equity it still enjoys among Indian bikers became the driving force behind the  rebirth of this legend.

    The launch film honours the bike’s illustrious history and is an ode to the iconicity of the brand which captured the imagination of an entire generation and continues to be loved and revered even today. Narrated by the OG Karizma brand ambassador, actor Hrithik Roshan, the film’s powerful VO instantly strikes an emotional chord and unveils Karizma XMR in its modern and advanced avatar. The film even tips the hat to some of the iconic scenes and  memorable advertising from Karizma’s past, including riding into a dust storm.

    L&K Saatchi & Saatchi and its digital arm, Saatchi & Saatchi Propagate, also created a compelling buzz campaign, launching the bike with much fanfare and engagement through  robust digital activations. The buzz campaign featured Hrithik Roshan and Rannvijay Singha,  the two names who had been closely associated with the brand in its glory days.

    The #LiveTheLegand campaign marks not just the return of a motorcycle, but also the resurgence of a legend that has inspired generations, turned heads and remained an aspirational ride for all.

    L&K Saatchi & Saatchi chief creative officer Kartik Smetacek said, “The one thing that  became apparent the moment we started working on this brand was that this is not another  bike, this is the Karizma. Even a decade later, the name commands something more than  respect, it commands reverence. The campaign sought to harness this brand love, to stir it,  grow it and create an aura for the next avatar of this legendary name.”
