Engage explores duality with Yin & Yang in latest campaign

MUMBAI: Fragrance brand Engage, from the house of ITC, has unveiled its first range of Eau de Parfum.

Engage has taken a bold step forward to redefine fragrance concepts inspired by the traditional philosophy of duality. Based on the principle that all things exist in contradictory opposites, Engage presents ‘Yin’ for the Engage Man and ‘Yang’ for the Engage Woman.

In a new television commercial for Engage Eau De parfum, the brand elucidates the dichotomy of love and the role of fragrances in creating passionate memories. The film directed by Whitelight film’s Subir Chatterjee and Namita Roy Ghose explores the arguments and friction that is inevitable in any romance but illustrates the core of intense love that binds one another with the promise of a new beginning because love will always find a way.

The TVC opens with a couple in the middle of an intense, passionate fight. The famous Leonard Cohen song ‘Dance me to the end of love’ serves as the perfect score for the crisp storytelling of separation and reuniting in an energetic interplay of Yin and Yang.

The philosophy defines that two opposites attract and complement each other. The symbol illustrates that each at its core has an element of the other. Designed as two halves, the glass perfume bottles and the packaging design also echo the concept of duality.

J Walter Thompson SVP and national creative director Tista Sen says, “Yin and Yang embody the very paradox of love. As poignant as a lovers’ quarrel, it is the perfume that helps the reconciliation. With a haunting music track and visual imagery that brings home the utter pain and longing of a lover’s anguish, the new range of EDP is the ultimate tribute in what brings lovers together. ‘Because love will always find a way’ captures the intensity, passion and opposing views of a young relationship with symbolism and fluidity that Engage the brand has come to epitomise with perfection.”

Engage Eau De Parfum is the most recent launch in the Engage portfolio. Available in four fragrances – Yin for Engage Man, Yang for Engage Woman, Femme and Homme, the fragrances are priced at Rs 499 for a 90 ml bottle.

ITC TVC: ‘Engage’ in playful chemistry

MUMBAI: Engage, a fragrance brand, has unveiled a new thematic campaign to introduce its range of pure intense perfume sprays for men and women. In this new television commercial, Engage reflects on its brand core to capture the intrigue and excitement of couples in love, engaging in playful chemistry. It highlights the pulse points in the body that are best for spritzing and make the fragrance last longer.

The film directed by Whitelight Films’ Subir Chatterjee, explores an important aspect of desire. The TVC opens with a woman standing in front of a mirror. She picks up a bottle of Engage perfume and sprays a little on the nape of her neck. Instantly, a man’s reflection appears in the mirror. He gently places a kiss on her neck where she sprayed. But as she turns to look at him she realizes that she is fantasizing. Fascinated, she sprays again on the other side of her neck and he is magically back again, planting another deeper kiss. She is now naughtily enjoying the game and sprays Engage on her wrist and eagerly looks in the mirror. This time he entwines his fingers with hers and raises it to his lips and she simply tilts her head enjoying the moment.

Meanwhile in the man’s room, Engage kindles a similar fantasy of playful romance. As Engage envelops him in its fragrance, the woman’s hands glide over him. They can’t wait to bring the fantasy alive and are excited to see each other. The film is a refreshing new take on playful chemistry and beautifully captures desire in courtship, romance and sensuality that the fragrance evokes. Where do you want to be kissed?

J. Walter Thompson SVP & NCD Tista Sen said, “The new communication focusses on the longing and yearning that perfume can evoke in romance. Imagination and fantasy is captured through young lovers who cannot wait to meet. Perfume on the pulse points heightens ‘playful chemistry’ which is the raison d’être of the brand and brings lovers together through a powerful line that says it all: where do you want to be kissed?

When a fragrance is applied on the pulse points, the fragrance tends to diffuse more due to the heat of the blood on the pulse points such as wrists, ankles, belly button, behind the ears, neck, etc. Fragrance is a volatile blend and warmer parts of the body will make the notes diffuse as well as form an intense trail wherever you go. Engage Perfume Sprays with heart and base notes of amber, wood and musk tend to linger on the skin much longer.

ITC CEO – personal care products business Sameer Satpathy added, “Engage is synonymous with the proposition of ‘playful chemistry’, and the new thematic campaign ‘The Fantasy’ further reinforces its strong credentials as a perfume of choice for couples in love. With the evolving attitude and lifestyle of consumers, the segment offers an enormous opportunity to educate and drive category growth. Spritzing on pulse points is an important aspect rooted in the core of desirability and a perfume spray’s functionality”.

With this new product innovation, perfume needn’t be just what sits on your dressing table but something you can carry with you. And use it anytime, anywhere. It’s romance on the go and that’s what the TG will identify with.”

“A perfect little innovation by ITC. It was so much fun working on the pocket campaign. The TVC gives us a glimpse into a sweet little love story between two young people. The fun is that only the viewer knows their secret, which is engage pocket perfumes,” J. Walter Thompson senior creative director Simone Patrick said.

Forevermark’s first campaign in India displays beauty and inner strength of women

MUMBAI: Diamond brand Forevermark has announced its first India specific advertising campaign for Capricci – The Nose Pin Collection, reflecting many expressions and many choices of a modern Indian woman.

The campaign has been developed and conceptualized by J Walter Thompson India (JWT India) and produced and directed by Prashant Issar Sippy of Tubelight Films. The campaign debuts on TV with a 35 second commercial.

Conceptualized on the idea of ‘Wear What You Feel’, the Capricci campaign creatively depicts the different moods of a woman through seven nose pin jackets. The diamond at the core represents the beauty and inner strength of women while the different jacket shapes signify the various sentiments and the versatile personalities of women. The campaign also showcases the versatility of the Capricci collection which includes one classic Forevermark diamond nose pin, seven exclusive jackets for everyday of the week, two Forevermark diamond stud earrings and one charm bracelet. The jackets can be interchanged and worn as different nose pins. Alternatively, the jackets can also be attached as charms to the bracelet.

Talking about the campaign, Forevermark President Sachin Jain commented, “We at Forevermark are proud to launch our first ever India based campaign. The inception of the collection was made in our Diamond Acquisition Study which showed that the nose pin is the second most widely purchased item next only to finger rings. The collection and the campaign pay homage to the modern women of today who are confident, versatile and have their own unique ways of expressing themselves. The campaign showcases different facets of a contemporary Indian woman through simple day to day situations that are significant to her and bring meaning to those around her. “

JWT, India NCD Tista Sen added, “This is the first time Forevermark has explored diamonds in the nose pin category. Something traditional, that is still very modern. We called the collection The Capricci Nose Pin Collection. Capricci means mood in Italian. This allowed us to beautifully capture the essence of a woman’s different moods through beautiful pieces of jewellery. Our objective was to bring out the versatility of the product, which includes a nose pin stud with seven inter-changeable jackets, a charm bracelet and stud earrings. A collection that will connect with today’s young women as much as the sequences we’ve used our protagonist in. Whenever you work on an iconic brand, especially one as prestigious as Forevermark which is part of the De Beers Group of Companies, you suddenly feel like a part of its history. And we’re going to make history once again by creating pieces of work that are as exquisite as the jewellery we’re advertising. “

The Capricci Nose Pin campaign will utilize the national media channels such as mainlines, magazines, paid search, online display and video audience buying, key digital sponsorships, social media platforms, and online television.
