    Lowe Lintas & Naukri collaborate to launch a new campaign

    Mumbai: Lowe Lintas has joined forces with Naukri.com, India’s premier careers platform, to introduce an engaging new campaign tailored specifically for the ambitious Gen Z workforce. The campaign aims to reinforce Naukri’s position as the preferred destination for young professionals, by showcasing & legitimizing their ambitious behavior.

    In today’s dynamic corporate landscape, the younger individuals are characterized by their ambition, drive, and determination to succeed. In a world governed by age-old rules and wisdom, Gen Z are in a hurry when it comes to careers. They are ambitious for growth, unwilling to settle for anything lesser than their goals. And while the world may see it as a not so positive trait, they see it as essential for getting ahead in their professional journeys.

    Recognizing this trait, Naukri & Lowe Lintas has conceptualised a strategic campaign focused for this discerning demographic.

    Intended to go live during IPL where ACDs are no more than 15seconds, the campaign leverages compelling storytelling & resonant messaging, to connect with Gen Z job seekers on a deeper level. Developed in a tone & manner that is quint-essential ‘Naukri’ – insightful & light-hearted yet thought provoking, the films exhibit the change that has begun shaping careers all over.

    Info Edge (India) Ltd CMO Sumeet Singh expressed her enthusiasm for the collaboration, remarking, “Naukri has always championed the cause of India’s professionals. With this campaign, we are siding with the ambitious Gen-Z, who now make up most of the country’s workforce, and we’re teaming up with them for their career building.”

    Lowe Lintas regional creative officer Vasudha Mishra shared her insights on the campaign, stating, “When it comes to jobs, the young are not reticent. They know what they want, and they cannot be gaslighted into settling for less. Especially when they have as their ally, Naukri, one of the most iconic modern brands of India. Two spots, done with the signature irreverent style of the brand, done by our fabulously talented team at Lowe Lintas.”

    The campaign is now live on the JioCinema IPL feed and other online platforms.

    Harbhajan Mann’s Punjabi film to release on 29 May

    NEW DELHI: Punjabi singer-turned-actor Harbhajan Mann will soon be seen in the suspense Punjabi thriller Gadaar-The Traitor, which is slated to release on 29 May.

     

    Talking about the film, Mann said, “It is always good to play with characters as people have a tendency to get bored with things after a point of time. It is very important to entertain people with something different each time.”

     
    Directed by Amitoj Mann and produced by Sumeet Singh, the film also stars Evelyn Sharma and Manpreet Grewal.

    The film is produced under the banner of Saga-Unisys Infosolutions and Grandsons Films and will have a fresh concept amidst comedy and romance.

     
    Mann said that the movie is likely to break stereotypes of storylines that has been set for so long and will be a complete package of action, romance, suspense and thrills.

    Mann will portray a character named Jay Singh, who is an adventurous business tycoon.

    The German model turned actress Evelyn Sharma’s looks and talent paved ways for more more roles in Bollywood. Sharma said, “My acting has grown as I have done many Hindi films. No doubt it was difficult but at the end of the day you are happy because you end up learning something new and delivering Punjabi dialogues was like a challenge for me. It is not everyone’s cup of tea. Your past experience makes you confident enough to take the challenge and it ultimately helps you to realise your potential.”  

     
    Grewal, who won the title Miss Australian Punjaban in 2012, will be debuting in the film as the female lead playing the character of a journalist. “This is my very first movie that too as a lead so I was actually shocked and excited at the same when the director approached me for the role. Also the character I am playing is very challenging and working with such great people in your first film is itself an opportunity to learn so many things from them,” she said.

    Amitoj Mann, who has directed films like Haani, Hawayein,Kaafila and many music videos said, “It is time to change the face of Punjabi cinema and with this film, the audience will see more than just romance and love. The film has action, romance, suspense and thrill. It is a film that can potentially open more doors for other film makers. The audience will see good, clean cinema with thought-provoking and tastefully done stories.”

     
    The film is shot in locations of Punjab, Goa, Mumbai and Toronto.
