Lewis Berger: “Paint your Imagination”

-


Looks familiar? Yup, it is Taj Mahal, our very own contribution to the "Wonders of the world"! And no, this is not yet another initiative of Mayawati on the Agra beauty, but a part of the latest campaign by Lewis Berger, renamed from Berger Paints.

This Ad reflects the extent to which one can imagine, and subsequently painting the imagination with colors. Thus, reinforcing the tagline.. "Paint your Imagination".
Definitely, a colorful Taj Mahal gives a picturesque view, compared to the "Marbel-lous" original version. And why not? After all, it is the age of Remixes in India ;-). Why should Taj Mahal be left out?

Berger Paints has re-branded itself as Lewis Berger, named after the founder of Berger Paints. According to a press Release, the re-branding has been done keeping the festive season in mind, with the premium segment as their primary target.


The umbrella brand ‘Lewis Berger’ retains the respectability and equity gained by Berger over the years and signifies image enhancement for all the key products of the company.
This ‘imagination campaign’ has also been running as commercials on Television. The storyboard for the Ad is available at Agencyfaqs.com. It shows a painter recreate the Taj Mahal with her imagination. So what is new? How does this Ad reflect “premium quality” and “competitive advantage”? Probably, a cognitive association with Taj Mahal could symbolize quality, you never know!

A section of the Website talks about the color profiling and suggested combinations, as part of Home Beautification. A great insight, and a must see for informative purpose!
But, a more visible color combination and contrasts could have ensured higher customer attraction. Nonetheless, nice effort!

Just an observation - The website paints everything with a limited set of paints. Berger has used only a shade of Blue and Pink in their campaign through out. Are they de-selling the other colors, or is there a conscious decision to present limited shades to the customers?

For those who are looking for answers for the same,
Well, Don’t think too much about it; just …Paint your Imagination!

Anti-Smoking Campaigns - me too ...

I have been discussing Smoking and cigarettes quite a bit (2 entries to be precise). I had earlier talked about Jim’s Burnt Offerings and then, a couple of days back, I discussed Chicago’s Smokers’ Lounge . In order to prevent any conscious and sub-conscious criticism , I decided to absolve this blog of any promotional intentions for smoking… Here are some good campaigns I have collated from various sources, all underlying the theme of “ Anti-smoking ”…Have a look.. (Click to view the enlarged version) In fact, there is a particular graph that explains the entire cycle of rejection or abandonment of a previously adopted product or service. This model was put forward by Everett Rogers and has been discussed as an exception to the “Classic” diffusion model An effective anti-smoking campaign would be an example of such a trend, where the habit of smoking is gradually abandoned. Another clichéd example would be the rejection of an older technology to be replaced with a new one. That i

Acknowledgements for this entry go to the interviewers in my last mock-interview, who asked my about the SEC bands and specifics! SEC, i.e. Socio-economic Classification is a classification made in the urban and the rural sector, to identify the consumption pattern and the household purchase behavior. Based on education levels, occupation, type of household , etc. the population is divided into separate bands, called the Socio-economic Classes. The Urban Sector is divided into SEC A1, A2, B1, B2, C, D, E1, E2 (Calculated as a function of Educational qualifications of the CWE* and his occupation) The Rural Sector is divided into SEC R1, R2, R3, R4 (Calculated as a function of Educational Qualifications of the CWE* and the type of the household he stays in – Pucca, Semi Pucca or Kaccha) Following is the exact division in the Rural Sector: ( Source : Ficci Press Release ) Unfortunately, I have still not been able to find out the exact details about the urban classification. But Accord

All women need to strip off….

..the biases ..the stereotypes ..the perceptions ..the others in you No this is not a note on pornographic innuendoes, neither is it a set of tips to succeed in an MCP world. This is a collection of a little reflection, inspired by the monotony of over empathizing celebrations of Women’s day! Have you ever wondered - Why is Pink Panther a comedy and Black Panther an action hero film? Why is it that in spite of more movies in Bollywood now with lady protagonists, the Superhits – the highest grosers are still the ones that drive machismo? Why does our behavior towards women in our lives get determined by the lunar calendar? Is respect for women seasonal? Right from childhood to whatever you might term as “later stage of life” – women go through stereotypes. Some use hashtags to summarize their #MeToos, while others lock themselves in a room, praying for a better afterlife or silently waiting for the Phoenix to get up and change the world! Some empathize with their co-sufferer
