Ad'em all ... Soft Drink Ads

-
Ad-check on the current ads catering to the soft-drink market, specific to carbonated drinks segment.
Just for the accounts, Total Soft Drinks market – Rs. 5000 Crore.
Out of this market, Lime-lemon category constitutes almost 30 per cent.
Pepsi launched "khoofiya" campaign with Saif, followed by Coca-cola's Thanda Aish-cash offer..This triggered the oye-bubbly mega campaign by Pepsi, the multi-mega starrer "Oye Bubbly" Campaign.
Could Coke stay behind? Enter - the trumph card for Coke - Aamir Khan, with yet another superb performance after the "thanda matlab coca cola" campaign, this time in a double take .. Manno Bhai.
Definitely an outstanding appealer with high brand recall value.
As for the others, Thums Up (Communicated as an outdoor brand, and associated with attitude) launched Akshay Kumar with Everest challenge, which was spoofed by Mountain Dew, with Mountain pe dew peetey hain style ( do they have a creative team??)

How can we forget the G-factor in the ads.. 7up leaves the drinkers slavering with Yana Gupta in the cool Kahengey ad, where as Limca preferred to play a subdued model - Deepika Padukone , reinforcing the fresh-ness and not the fresh-face! The Brand communication is of Freshness...
'The new tagline for Limca will be "Mazza Taazgi Ka". "Since Andhra Pradesh is a very important market for us, we will be dubbing this commercial in AP'

Fanta took another line of thought with Rani Mukherjee talking about the curves and shape of the new Fanta bottle!
For the Smart Alecs, there is the Sprite Ad with the froggy princess on one hand, and the Mirinda ad featuring the protective bhai log running after the fanta crate...

P-ney ka?

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
