    Monster.com’s new campaign urges users to find work-life balance

    MUMBAI: Job search portal Monster.com has launched an integrated communications campaign as the Official Supporter of #WorkLifeBalance. The campaign will go live across India, Gulf, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The objective of this campaign is to raise greater awareness around issues concerning #WorkLifeBalance in a humorous way. The campaign is led by a series of films, conceptualised by Famous Innovations and directed by Rajesh Krishnan (Soda Films).

    Famous Innovations founder and CCO Raj Kamble commented on the campaign, “Work-life balance is a burning issue in India’s corporate culture today and the new generation of professionals sees it as the utmost priority. Through this campaign, we wanted to position Monster.com as a proud supporter of Work-Life balance and therefore help the brand be seen as one that understands what the millennial workforce wants. We chose to do so in a light-hearted yet striking way.”

    Monster.com chief marketing officer (APAC and Gulf) Anshul Punhani said, “In our journey to build brand preference, it is important for us to put forth how Monster.com is relentlessly working towards ensuring that job seekers and recruiters not just find better, but faster. Recently, we conducted a region-wide survey, ‘Understanding Work Life Balance’, and 60 per cent of Indian working professionals surveyed rate their current work-life-balance average to terrible. What makes it noteworthy is that 45 per cent of the respondents were from non-metros cities where work-life balance (WLB) is supposedly a lesser issue. Amongst the many other insights what comes through for us is the impinging need to understand the concept of work-life balance and define it well. The campaign is around the way the millennial workforce views this priority. We’re completely in tune with India Inc’s emerging corporate milieu and it is these insights set us apart from any other brand in the industry.”

    MUMBAI: Center Fresh will now be available in a different flavour. The refreshing chewing gum as an natural extension to the brand has launched the Paan flavour. The flagship brand of Perfetti Van Melle India roped in Ogilvy & Mather for the new campaign.

    The Center Fresh Paan campaign devised by Soda Films reaffirms the base brand positioning, while announcing the arrival of the new flavour. Directed by Rajesh Krishnan and produced by Ameya Dahibavkar, the TVC translates into its tagline Zubaan Pe Rakhe Lagaam (Keeps your mouth shut).

    Commenting on the launch, group product manager Chaitanya Shekar said, “Center Fresh and Paan have significant synergies, given their mouth-freshening properties and it was only a matter of time in getting this logical extension on the brand. We are extremely excited about this new launch and we believe this format will open up new avenues for consumption of Paan in a quick and fun way.”

    Giving an insight into the TVC, Ogilvy & Mather national creative director Abhijit Avasthi said, “We have all come across the not-so-pretty sight of people stuffing Paan into their mouth and talking. Half of the time it’s not even clear what they are saying. But they go on, without caring whether the spit is staining their clothes or flying off from their mouth and landing on the other person’s face. We took this insight and crafted a funny ad that showed the consequences a dhobi’s son has to face due to his talking while chewing Paan.”
