    Yardley London launches new campaign #Naturalfloralspa

    Mumbai: On Wednesday, Yardley announced the launch of a new commercial for its all-new range of floral essence shower gels. Aimed at young women, this new range provides a luxurious bathing experience synonymous with a floral spa.

    The commercial has been conceptualised by Contract Advertising, a Wunderman Thompson Group company and a member of the WPP Network.

    Yardley, with 250 years of legacy in fine fragrances, has continually evolved to remain true and relevant across generations. It believes in inspiring women to showcase their true potential and step up to be the best version of themselves.

    Wipro Yardley CEO Manish Vyas said, “While Yardley has always been known for its fine floral fragrances, through this new range of shower gels under the floral essence sub brand, we intend to bring forth the goodness of floral ingredients apart from the fragrance.”

    Sharing the inspiration behind the commercial, Contract Mumbai general manager Ayan Chakraborty said, “When you hear of a spa-like experience, something that is invigorating and indulgent immediately comes to mind. This is the thought that we used to launch Yardley’s range of floral essence shower gels. The fragrance uplifts you instantly, and the floral oils work on the skin. It is like being in a spa everyday.”

    Adding to this, Contract Mumbai executive creative director Rahul Ghosh explains the approach and the creative thinking behind the ad, “Yardley is a passkey to a world of fragrance and freshness. And in this film, we showcase how its shower gel can transform a daily ritual into a magical moment.”

    The floral essence shower gels will be available at the nearest stores and on e-commerce platforms for Rs 225 for 250 ml.

    Hrithik Roshan challenges himself to do better in Lupin’s Be One campaign

    Mumbai: Contract Advertising, a part of the Wunderman Thompson Group and member of the WPP network, has created the #BanoKhudSeBehetar campaign, featuring Hrithik Roshan, for Lupin’s Be One 100 per cent Ayurvedic Energy supplements.

    In the recently launched brand campaign, the Bollywood star challenges his other self to not give up and be better in every task. “We used elements of Hrithik the celebrity to tell the story of Hrithik the everyman. It was a challenge at the beginning. But Hrithik being the amazing performer that he is, the process was fun and exciting as we got deeper into it,” shared Contract Mumbai SVP & ECD Rahul Ghosh.

    “In today’s highly demanding times, a product like Be One is only increasing in relevance. The consumer today is looking to constantly better themselves and this is where Be One comes in as a motivator to ensure they have the energy and health needed in this journey,” said Lupin’s head of OTC business Anil Kaushal.

    A film poster was unveiled on social media to announce that something exciting is coming soon ahead of the campaign launch.

    Soon after this, a motion poster was launched, triggering some more excitement.

    Social media started buzzing with comments and guesses on what kind of movie it would be and #BanoKhudSeBehetar became the trending hashtag on Twitter on 30 December 2021, said the brand.

    The film was launched on 21 January across social media channels and TV channels. “It was an opportunity to be different in a category which talks only about non-stop energy or vitality,” commented Contract Mumbai EVP and general manager Ayan Chakraborty. “Being better than yourself or ‘Bano Khud Se Behetar’ is something refreshing and new and we made sure that we leveraged the celebrity even in terms of executing the launch like a movie launch.”

    “The creative challenge was to tell a story of someone trying to better himself, especially when that someone happened to be Hrithik Roshan. So, we tried to magnify the conflicts that reside within us every day. That was the creative jump-off,” said Contract Advertising CCO Sagar Mahabaleshwarkar on the creative process of the campaign.

    “This campaign was born out of the consumer desire of constant improvement by competing with one’s own self as opposed to others,” commented Lupin’s head of marketing (consumer healthcare) Supratik Sengupta. “The film acts as a nudge to the audience to challenge themselves and go beyond their comfort zone, while the product plays the role of the dependable partner.”
