  • Pepsi unveils quirky film to celebrate partnership with Airtel

    Pepsi unveils quirky film to celebrate partnership with Airtel

    Mumbai: In line with PepsiCo India’s partnership with Bharti Airtel, Pepsi has unveiled a new film to mark the announcement. The partnership will be amplified via a robust 360-degree campaign spanning TV, digital, outdoor, and social media.

    The quirky TVC showcases Pepsi’s and Airtel’s latest data offerings on its PET bottles where consumers can avail Airtel recharge benefits worth Rs 10 to 20.

    With the launch of this new TVC, Pepsi aims to bring a streak of celebration with its distinct value-for-money offering through its collaboration with Airtel.

    Speaking on the comical take of the campaign, PepsiCo India’s Pepsi Cola category lead Saumya Rathor said, “Consumers today, more than ever, are seeking value for money. Ahead of the festive season, the partnership with Airtel is an endeavour to bring people together, help them stay connected and bring more smiles with every sip.”

    The light-humoured TVC opens at a basketball practice, where a girl cheekily says hello to a boy. The boy is convinced that the girl loves him because she has asked him to recharge her talk time. However, his friend, who is sitting next to him, asks sarcastically, “If she truly loves you, who is she talking to and spending the talk time on?” The question gives the boy a reality check. However, his friend hands him a chilled bottle of Pepsi to calm him down. Seeing the Airtel recharge discount offer on the Pepsi bottle leaves the boy puzzled, to which his friend smartly responds that the next time you recharge her phone, it will hurt you less as you can use the redeemable discount coupons that come with every Pepsi bottle. Both look at each other, smile, and take another sip of the Pepsi with ‘swag.’

    Created by Complete films. The film is directed by Gaurav Gupta. The new TVC campaign reminds parents to let their children explore and get their hands dirty without worrying about their hand hygiene.

    Enriched with the power of Tulsi, this hand wash from Himalaya provides 99.9 per cent germ protection and has a pH balanced formula, giving children the freedom to maintain their hand hygiene and not compromise on adventure and fun.

    Parents, especially in the past two and a half years, are more aware that keeping their children’s hands clean is one of the most important ways of preventing illnesses. Himalaya Pure Hands Tulsi Purifying Hand Wash uses the power of Tulsi to provide protection for pure hands, while its pH balanced formula is designed for soft hands.

    The new Himalaya Pure Hands TV campaign follows two siblings and their adventures throughout the day. Whether it is building a small kennel for stray puppies, making clay art, repairing their cycles, or helping their mother in the kitchen, they do it all with their bare hands. Here, Himalaya reminds parents to not worry about how dirty their hands are and instead provide them with the protection their hands need, as they will be using their hands to achieve their milestones.

    Speaking of the campaign, Himalaya Wellness Company business director-consumer products division Rajesh Krishnamurthy says, “As a brand committed to spreading wellness and health, the “Let Kids Be Kids” campaign by Himalaya Pure Hands Tulsi Purifying Hand Wash is an integral part of our endeavour to see “Wellness in every Home and Happiness in every Heart.” Our hope is to inspire parents to let their children explore the world around them and keep an eye on their hand hygiene at the same time, as they inculcate in them the habit of washing their hands properly.”

Seeing the world through the curious eyes of a child, this TVC encourages us to recognise how important it is for them to explore, build, create, and learn with their hands. Through the “Let Kids Be Kids” TVC campaign, we wish to assure our consumers that Pure Hands is there to take care of their child’s hand hygiene, while they go back into the world and be their inquisitive selves without fear.”

    Sharing the idea behind the campaign, 82.5 Communications senior vice president and branch head – South Naveen Raman said, “Our endeavour was to find the right balance between brand values and category codes. Protection is the foremost need in this category. We married it seamlessly with care and warmth, which are the true values of brand Himalaya. It was crucial to emphasise Himalaya’s supremacy in herbal medicine strongly in the market promise.”

    82.5 Communications, South group creative directors Sangeetha Sampath and Ravikumar Cherussola further elaborated, “Protection, in the post Covid-era, is an extremely important need.

  • KFC India rolls out new ad film featuring Allu Arjun & Colonel Sanders

    KFC India rolls out new ad film featuring Allu Arjun & Colonel Sanders

    Mumbai: KFC India has launched a new campaign featuring Allu Arjun and Colonel Sanders on Monday. The campaign is executed by Ogilvy and the ad film for the campaign is produced by First Frame Entertainment.

    Having struggled with finding the ‘right spice’, in KFC’s new film, Arjun is seen defiantly declaring, “Apun ko aansu acha nahi lagta hai, na emotion wala, na mirchi wala.”

    The film opens with Allu Arjun, in his suave demeanour at a KFC restaurant, in a drool-worthy close of him biting into the new KFC Peri Peri Chicken, as we are treated to a glimpse of that Peri Peri flavouring over a piece of perfectly crispy chicken. He continues to enjoy that discerning bite when he declares, in his signature style, “Apun ko aansu acha nahi lagta hai, na emotion wala, na mirchi wala.”

    We feel the tension rising as he asks for the Colonel. It’s nothing less than an edge of the seat thriller as a perplexed Colonel walks up to him, eagerly awaiting Allu Arjun’s verdict on the product. “Spice…” says Allu Arjun, followed by a dramatic pause, only to declare “Correct hai boss!” Celebrations ensue as Allu Arjun assures that KFC Peri Peri is “soooper very very” and the Colonel joins in imitating Allu Arjun’s signature Pushpa step.

    On bringing together 2 OG stars – the Colonel and Allu – for the biggest launch of the season, a KFC India spokesperson said, “We Indians have an innate knack for all things spice. And when the spice is such that it makes you tear up or leaves you underwhelmed, it is disappointing. So, who better than KFC, along with the superstar himself, Allu Arjun, to present a product with just the right spice? Our latest launch, Peri Peri Chicken, has all the makings of a blockbuster-it’s crispy, crunchy, with a dash of spice! With Colonel Sanders and Allu Arjun turning up the heat, this latest KFC film is nothing but soooper very very!”

    Talking about the film, Ogilvy chief creative officer north Ritu Sharda said, “Peri Peri, as a flavour, is already a hit. But when we tasted KFC’s Peri Peri, we realised it was something extra special. We were confident people were going to find this bigger than a hit; it was going to be a superhit. And who better to get a nod of approval on anything super hit than Allu Arjun? So, we turned the tasting session into a dramatic ad, with all the bells and whistles, and ended it with our Colonel Sanders finishing off with Allu’s signature move.”

    Talking about his latest KFC film, Allu Arjun said, “It was great collaborating on KFC’s Peri Peri campaign. Coming together with the OG Colonel Sanders for their new irresistible peri-peri sprinkle has been a lovely experience altogether. All I can say is, “Chicken Peri Peri, soooper very very!”

    Alia Bhatt says switch to Duroflex for ‘Asli Neend’ in ad campaign

    Delhi: Duroflex has launched a new campaign with their national brand ambassador and leading actor Alia Bhatt to scale its signature portfolio Duropedic which is recommended by the doctors at National Health Academy. 

    The campaign featuring two TVCs aims to educate customers that when it comes to good sleep, one should only believe the benefits of sleep essentials that are backed by research and approved by experts. 

    The TVC will be aired on all major national television channels and also promoted across digital channels.

    Duroflex chief marketing officer Smita Murarka, commented, “Our mission of helping India sleep better, starts with making well researched products and in sharing knowledge about how sleep impacts health and wellbeing. This has resulted in more and more consumers turning to branded mattresses. However, mattress buying can be a complex exercise as the key aspects that define a purchase are not well understood by consumers and the heap of generic or false claims in the market only confuses them further. We do believe that with honest conversations we will be able to educate consumers about making well researched choices which suit their individual needs. With this campaign, our aim is to connect with our consumers that all they need for Asli Neend is Duroflex.”

    The first TVC educates the consumers that mattress buying is not a one-size-fits-all activity whereas the second one warns them against getting lured by seemingly attractive deals and making the wrong choice.  

    The first TVC encapsulates the moment where Alia finds her friend Adarsh Gaurav, from the White Tiger fame sleeping uncomfortably on his mattress. The conversation between the two further reveals that Adarsh bought the mattress thinking that because it’s memory foam, it is good for his back. To this Alia lightheartedly chides him saying “har memory foam orthopedic nahi hota, aur har neend neend nahin hoti”, explaining that specific problems require specialized solutions like Duroflex’s signature doctor recommended orthopedic range of mattresses with advanced 5 zone support layer.

    The second TVC is a shorter narrative of 15 seconds where Alia advises the users to not get lured by seemingly attractive offers like free trial period, lest they might end up getting dark circles like her friends. And then goes on to say that a real beauty sleep is only with the trusted Duropedic range, and there is Nothing like Duroflex that matches up. 

    Duroflex brand ambassador Alia Bhatt said, “Sleep is very close to my heart. It is my superpower, which I’d like to share with my audience. However, few realise the importance of the right mattress for a good night’s sleep. Moreover, confusing technical claims and deals offered by brands lead people into buying mattresses that don’t fit their needs. The new Duroflex TVC will help educate the consumer about this.”
