    Mondelez India director – marketing (chocolates) Prashant Peres said, “The friendship day is a collective and one of the more popular occasions amongst the youth in schools and colleges. We wanted to use this as an opportunity to remind the digital savvy youth that Friendship Day could be a great opportunity to meet their friends in the real world.

While one of the friends is busy responding to the friendship day messages on her phone, the other friend is immersed in relishing a Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate that she has been gifted. A moment of realisation dawns upon her as she then hands over a Cadbury Dairy Milk to her friend as a gift, urging her to get off that phone and make real connections this Friendship’s Day.

    Ogilvy & Mather ECD Neville Shah said “The world today is about digital connections. We’ve lost the pleasures of actual connections.

  • Ceat’s satirical take on how commuters & drivers act during monsoons

    MUMBAI: To ensure safe travel for bike riders against uncertainties during the monsoon season, Ceat Limited, a leading tyre manufacturer, has launched its latest TVC ‘Nehlau’.  Conceptualised by ‘Ogilvy and Mather’, the TVC addresses the core issue faced by bike riders of water splashes and getting drenched owing to the onslaught of larger vehicles moving past at high speeds. Such scenario can lead to slippage of vehicle or an accident. In order to prevent slippage of vehicles and ensure stronger tyre grip on wet roads, Ceat TVC announces the launch of its monsoon smart range of tyres.

    With its tongue-in-cheek humour, the TVC sets the narrative keeping its character “Mr. Nehlau” in the limelight. The story depicts the common incident observed on the roads during rainy season, wherein a super-fast vehicle driven by Mr. Nehlau takes an immense pleasure in splashing water on the passing by vehicles and pedestrians. At the end of the TVC, Ceat tyres save the biker from the huge water splash while conveying the strong message of ensuring safety of bike rider in difficult rainy situations.

    Ceat VP marketing Nitish Bajaj said, “Our attempt is to ensure safety of bike riders from all the hazards that come along during the monsoon season, which can challenge the riding experience. Tyre plays a crucial role in holding the ground, which is direly needed for bike riders in such season.”

    According to Ogilvy and Mather senior creative director Rohit Dubey, “Modern consumer has an attention span of a mayfly and commercials are watched on mute in gyms, lounges and lobbies. Just an insight is not enough. And that’s the raison d’être of our time-slice treatment.”

    “At a sub-cutaneous level, this campaign is not just about sensitizing the consumer to Ceat’s ‘all season tyres’, it’s also an attempt in bolstering our brand voice. We intend to strike a chord with bikers not just as a tyre manufacturer, but as a riding mate who knows what they go through”, he added. The film has been shot in Film city Mumbai and directed by Arun Gopalan.

    Ceat’s brand positioning has always been geared towards focusing on the tyres’ superior grip which provides a safer travelling experience. This is one of the many initiatives Ceat has undertaken to reiterate its audience connect.

It captures various unsung human emotions like those of a girl wanting her dreams to come true or a child wanting her father to come home through animated puppets made of layers of thin paper.

    ‘The stories in the campaign are inspired & dramatized versions of the stories that we heard from the Bajaj team. We thought it would be interesting to tell these stories through animation, like a fairy tale only to reveal that these are not fables but inspired true stories’, said OnAds founder Jignesh Maniar.

    In line with its philosophy, Bajaj Electricals considers every Indian a part of their family and the campaign depicts how through the magic of light the dreams of millions of Indians have come true.

  • We aim at building a parent-approved, kids’ favourite brand, says Voot’s Akash Banerji

    MUMBAI: Viacom18’s VOOT is all set roll out a hi-decibel campaign for its kids content segment – Voot Kids. The campaign will have two TVCs in three languages — Hindi, Kannada and Marathi, depicting six situations.

    “To amplify the campaign, we are going heavy on the Viacom18 network including Nickelodeon. We are also going out of our network, and buying spots on Discovery and Turner Network. On the digital and social media platforms, we would be be releasing the campaign on Youtube and Facebook,” Viacom18 digital ventures head – marketing & partnerships Akash Banerji told Indiantelevision.com in a telephonic conversation.

    “We want to be perceived as the platform which aggregates the best and the most premium stack of kids content,” he added.

    Voot Kids has been a key differentiator and a big driving force behind the platforms viewership acceleration and engagement growth. With over 2000+ hours of content, 8000+ videos and 125+ characters, Voot Kids claims to have the largest digital repository of premium kid’s content, since the platform’s launch a year ago. The primary brands on board are — Kinder Joy, Colgate, Mattel Toys and Amazon Kindle.

    Banerji said, “Kids live in a universe of their own – their toys, favourite toons, games/activities with their friends, their possessions, etc. make up a large part of the world they relate to. The concept of #NoMoreAtakoing (I will no longer be stuck in uncomfortable situations) is fundamentally rooted in the compulsions of nuclear families and the resulting situations where kids find themselves in dull and unrelatable situations; Voot Kids swoops in to save the day and make them smile.

    “We’ve delivered this message through an ‘anthem’ and several relatable situations. Our endeavour is to ensure that entertainment and development continues unhindered for kids through engaging characters and immersive storytelling,” Banerji emphasised. “Parents should get on the guilt-ridden trip in a very endearing manner to bring a smile on the child’s face,” he added.

    On the peak hours and the growth in viewership, he said “Unlike linear TV, the peak viewership happens at 9pm on Voot Kids because children get their hands on the mobile phones as the family is busy in traditional entertainment. We have had a peak on 18 June because everyone was watching India versus Pakistan final, which might not be interest to a 4-9 years old child.,” Banerji said. “In the last 6-7 months since Voot Kids’ launch in November, we have witnessed a 15X growth in viewership,” Banerji informed.

    The engaging kid’s entertainment destination has now rolled out an immersive campaign “Bachche ab no more atko’ing” as a solution for parents who inadvertently place their children in the midst of boring situations — while they go about their daily chores. The campaign conceptualised by Mullen Lintas is poised to amplify engagement for Voot Kids.

    Voot Kids understands empowers both, kids and parents, by becoming the kids’ best friend, transporting them into an entertaining and imaginary world brimming with excitement and delight. This message has been delivered through a creative film that will captivate both parents and kids.

    Watch video here :

    The music video depicts the everyday stories of kids stuck in awkward situations in the adult world. A young boy yawning behind his father in a hair salon, another awesomely bored boy stuck in a saree shop with his mom, then there’s this girl who finds herself out of place in her sister’s pre-engagement function.

    The campaign will witness a marketing outreach that will include home as well as cross channel promotions, digital platforms and innovative social media outreach (for the parents) and amplification initiatives.

    Speaking about the creative process, Mullen Lintas EVP Ayyappan Raj, “Voot is one of the leading brands in the Digital Video space and we are very proud to be associated with it. The brief for this campaign was based on a simple but powerful insight of ‘kids being stuck in an adult world’. “No more Atakoing…” is all about, a jolly anthem of kids being stuck in different situations.” Mullen Lintas ECD Garima Khandelwal said, “Kids being lost in their own creative world is, any day, more fun than they being trapped in ours, was the starting point of this brand film. We used a simple mnemonic of a rotating chair to tie together all the normal and everyday places for adults, but boring places for kids to be in.”

    TVC Plot: The TVC opens in a college cafeteria, where a young girl is sitting with Mother Dairy’s Chillz ice-creams, and her boyfriend steps in casually grabbing one of the ice-cream bar from her hand. Just as the guy is about to take a bite the girl innocently asks “Aaj movie ya bowling, Venky?” Confusingly, the guy looks at the girl asking “Who is Venky?”. Pretendingly, the girl says “sorry, Krish!”. 

    The guy becomes even more perplexed and enquires yet again and the girl again calls him with some other name and it continues.  With a sad confusing expression the guy slowly hands over the ice-cream bar to her and storms away. 

    The girl, gleefully grabs the ice-cream bar and looks delighted to have both of Mother Dairy’s Chillz ice-cream. In a matter of 30 seconds the TVC connects with you and makes you want to have that delicious creamy ice cream made with real milk.

    The new TVC is created with an insight to beat the heat with Mother Dairy’s Chillz range of ice creams. The unique product format of Mother Dairy ice creams are such that they provide an immersive multisensorial consumption experience and are meant primarily for individual indulgence. Added to this mix is a great ingredient story of these ice creams being made with real creamy milk and an abundance of chocolates, nuts, almonds and more; all of which truly make it a delight for the taste buds and an indulgence that is simply too good to share. While many may share a lot with their near ones, but ice creams, it turns out to be “Aapke Liye. Sirf Aapke Liye!”

    Speaking on the Campaign Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable GM – marketing (Dairy Products) Randhir Kumar, said, “We are targeting consumers who are fond of Ice-creams which are best to resist the heat in scorching summers.

Mother Dairy’s Chillz range of ice creams offers bars and cones that are made from real creamy milk and superior ingredients, to truly delight their taste buds and entice consumption.”

    Ogilvy North president Kapil Arora added, “One of the best things about Mother Dairy and its range of delightful Ice Creams is that they are made with real ingredients of the finest quality, that are added to it in abundance. Our creative idea revolves around the simple truth that these ice creams are so delightfully indulgent that they aren’t meant to be shared; Mother Dairy ice creams ‘made for you, and only you’.”

  • Kopiko’s Durgesh connects with aspirations of young in small-town India in new TVC

    MUMBAI: Inbisco India is back on television with a new TVC for its premium and popular coffee candy – Kopiko, a power-packed, hard-boiled treat made with real coffee extracts.

    In the TVC, the brand introduces Durgesh, an endearing young man hailing from a small town. He is ambitious, highly motivated, and has dreams to make it big. He is the star of the commercial, promoting Kopiko’s mantra – ‘Jaage Raho, Aage Raho’ The TVC shows Durgesh stopping at nothing to achieve his goal. But a 24X7 always-on-the-job approach comes with its share of challenges. However KOPIKO is his dependable pocket-sized saviour that keeps him up and ahead in life especially during moments of need.

    Conceptualized by Leo Burnett, the TVC begins with Durgesh praying while holding a self-help motivational book in his hand. He is seeking blessings from successful and inspirational leaders from around the world. He does all this with just one goal in mind – to learn and win. In the next sequence, we see Durgesh in his boss’ cabin, being scolded and yelled at by his boss. However, this does not deter him but inspires him to work harder. We see Durgesh’s female colleague, Prerna, trying to get his attention, but he shuts himself from everything that distracts him from his goal.

    We see him burning the midnight oil alone in office even as others have left for home, working with dedication to prove himself. However, when the time arrives for Durgesh to prove himself in front of his boss and other international colleagues, he is seen dozing off. All the hard work and dedication that Durgesh put into this presentation was about to vanish in one moment when his biggest enemy, an ‘untimely snooze’, decided to show up.

    Enraged, Durgesh’s boss shouts at him, as we see Kopiko coming to his rescue. After popping Kopiko, Durgesh wakes up with new vigour and enthusiasm. This is the turning point of the TVC as we see Durgesh redeeming himself with this newfound energy. He confidently stands-up in front of one and all at the conference room and makes a smart statement that is received with applause by his boss and colleagues. The TVC ends with the message ‘Jaage Raho, Aage Raho’ as Durgesh is seen enjoying his moment with pride and joy.

    Speaking on Kopiko, Inbisco India MD – India and Indian sub-continent Achyut Kasireddy said, “Kopiko is the first candy with real coffee extracts that gives the unique experience of ‘real coffee’ anytime and anywhere. It is a smooth, creamy, mini cappuccino treat that is not just wonderful to taste, but also helps you stay alert. The new TVC highlights Kopiko’s proposition as a candy that helps recharge energies and stay alert, because of its real coffee extracts.”

    Elaborating, he said, “The character created for this TVC Durgesh Singh, has been crafted keeping our target consumers in mind. A lot of people who love and consume Kopiko are college students, first jobbers who have just started their careers and have dreams of making it big. Like Durgesh, many fall prey to untimely snoozes which are inevitable with all the effort one’s put into a day’s work. That is why we have come up with the exciting communication proposition Jaage Raho, Aage Raho (Stay Awake, Stay Ahead). For everyone who needs a little something extra to keep him or her going, Kopiko is the solution. It’s made from real coffee and will help to keep snooze at bay.”

    Leo Burnett India SVP Sanju Menon said, “The confectionary category in India is very cluttered and the challenge to regain top spot in the category was quite daunting. As we understood the product deeper, the solution became quite apparent – to create a narrative that is derived from the product itself and not a mere piece of entertaining content. The story of Durgesh is something experienced by many. Making the story relevant and humorous will surely help us achieve our objectives.”
