Tata Docomo :a Tribute to Bhopal

Tata Docomo :a Tribute to Bhopal

This Add took me into flashback : almost 5 years back when I reached South india in Chennai. Being a north Indian you are quickly identified and people ask you about your native

People:  you are from which city ?

Me: Bhopal

People: Bombay / Mumbai … or mubaiyaaa some times Delhi used to be another closest guess

Me: Noooooooooo its Bhopal

People: Some people felt awkward that they are still unable to understand if the place is in India or … Then they say ohh is it in UP ? And then again I used to say No its Bhopal capital of MP. Then only some generous people used to say No we are not so well versed with the cities in North

Else I used to wonder is Pronouncing Bhopal So tough!!! Or some times leave it how does it matters if they think iam from Delhi or Mumbai or even some TIMBAK TU how does it matters.

And there comes the new add of Tata Docomo Dedicated to all Bhopal’s where they Said Bhopal almost 4-5 times in 30 seconds of add  I guess that’s enough to get registered in public’s mind and in particular all tear 2 cities people  like me who sometimes fight  for the identification of the our beloved cities like lucknow Kanpur indore Jabalpur etc etc ( I would not say that every case was same some were smart too or Google Smarts but its ok now)

Ok  for those who are wondering what this Jalebi script is ? or what is written They have taken a city named : gudur .

So the target Audience is Clear : People who find themselves in strange cities ( like jobs or official trips or short term postings , Travelling etc  as well as locals of  In particularly AP/TN/Kerala/Karnataka .Network is their strength in TN but not in AP so they are looking for that.And rest who can connect themselves to it

Concept: Again I will say they have chosen such a common anxiety among public when they travel alone to a different city and especially when they are not so much of frequent traveller. Almost every one of us who has ever travelled alone must have faced the biggest fear of travelling that we will miss the designated stop and that’s exactly what happens with the person when his worst fear comes true. So Projecting even when most unexpected happens to you Docomo NW is with them :)

Well Add quality and formulation is ok so will not say that it’s a wow add or unique concept or amazing presentation but it just conveys the message

I understand that writer has understood MP culture so completely that the guy asks the simal aged lady as “auntiji Bhopal kab ayega” ;) OMG thats too bhopali

Some where my heart Says Thank you for bringing Bhopal in Add so prominently ;)

Officers Choice : Re positioning of Brand

To be honest this is one of the top adds in liquour industry which talk about human values and the choice’s we have before us in our life, whether to take a “patli gali” or stand tall! even at a personal cost. However, the protagonist exhibits his officer like qualities and in the end makes the right choice.

So here they want to take the officer as a metaphor to righteousness bhai kya baat me sach me dum hai ?? :P

Its more of andar ka officer jagao I dont know weather they are trying to change the image of liquor industry or just trying to create a good will in the homes of people having “Officers choice” ;)

Ex Positioning of Brand : If we see the history of the product we will find that Officer’s Choice, as the name suggests, was a brand that was portrayed to be the preferred choice of naval officers and hence, it was aspirational to the consumer. The brand positioning flowed from this thought and hence the tagline – ‘Challenge Yourself’, was thoughtfully created. The campaign then focused on the daredevilry and bravado of the officers and how they could overcome any challenge, making the consumer feel strong and macho when he chose this brand. Here is the old add.

Repositioning of the Brand : Now if we see for the current market the positioning was old and outdated. consumer today, who did not really look up to naval or army officers now,at least not as much as they used to.So now they are looking for some officer who doesn’t himself thinks of him as who can portray for the brand.

Therefore a re-positioning was devised keeping in mind the Tag line , where the brand would celebrate the officer in each and every one of us and highlights will be the subjects relevant to consumer and exhort him to make the right choice, because he too is an officer.If you could keenly see in the guy driving is also drunk and for sure he is not having this brand ;)

The campaign embodies the aspirations of the common man who wants to be recognised for his deeds. He ensures that he lives up to his moral standards and ethics. He does his duty and would not waver from it. He is truly an officer in real life and the campaign acknowledges his contribution.And thats why in other add the common man is portrayed for him

Here are the glimpses of entire campaign of Officers Choice , Now that called as re positioning

Designed by : Allied Blenders and Distillers Pvt. Ltd. (ABD) i think Director is Prahlad kakkarhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prahlad_Kakkar  but the qualty of paicturization and actors is lower then the average adds . Just to let you know the brand poses growth rate of 33%

well long back when the dalda was not a popular brand i.e inspired of zillions of adds it was not able to make its existence in the market they came up with the tag line “maa ke hatho ka swad” and they gave the respect for the brand among the people so that people can really tell and show off that they have used the Dalda .That was lintas sucess story by alique padmesse

Well now i realized however short i try to write it grows on its own ;) like form add review it shifted to add positioning in the market :D

CHEVROLET VS MARUTI

In Add world where people are running the cut throat competition their own products cannibalize as well as when they have to compete with competitors in approximate 20 seconds and make them to buy a product worth lakhs then the add becomes the first gateway to the showroom it is the one that at first attracts to the showroom of Car Recently the 2 adds which grabbed my attention making the same point

 ADD 1 BELONGS TO >> CHEVROLET BEAT DIESEL

This one is a GLIMPSE of a pair who turns up and down the shops of the city from 1 corner to other in order to find a perfect footwear for the lady .And Our Amir Ali does it all without any hesitation as this car is so economical and average friendly

ADD 2 BELONGS TO >> MARUTI SUZUKI ALTO

Boy gets message that an old friend (GF) is back in the city and asked to meet at SAME PLACE and people keep searching and the guy reaches to her by his Car as “Maruti Suzuki Alto, Apka naya search engine!”

Apparently both cars belong to almost the same segment Though maruti alto starts from 2.33 lakhs and is petrol car while Chevrolet Beat Diesel starts from 4.2 lakhs but both are small size cars promise good average and cost friendliness .invariably selling the same idea of u can travel a lot in car without worry of fuel &/or average . For me running from shop to shop fr what one wants is more common and justifiable rather than tracing a friend who gave a abrupt message so rather then clarifiying it from her or online checking places (which his friends were doing on FB rather than on any search engine ) I consider that as completely stupid decision making sence in the guy ..and all bla bla. In short maruti add not only fails to impress but also is not an impressive enough to drag me to the shop.

Ok now what Maruti could have done to convey the same message to customers The better idea could have been a boy searching his annoyed GF/wife because there u need a search engine which can not be replaced by anyone else . And he finds her that’s Maruti apka search engine Iam precisely not replacing the GF with a kid as this is targeting to the segment of people who have started earning and are single

 Though iam an admirer of maruti service center/ spare part adds but this one is seriously an looser.

CEAT Add impact on road accidents ?

Secretly I want to see the impact of this add on Road accident occurrences and might be the sale of their tires as well :D  The add targets mainly the two wheelers and bikes of the middle calss and the lower middle class who go to work who go on family rides on bike And above all is about the Healthy practices to be followed on road

This add indeed has a healthy emotional appeal

As the statics say that most of the accidents happen not due to your own mistake but majorly by some one else’s mistakes and that’s where you need CEAT tires to save you from the accidents Thanks to ceat tires :)  for approving the idea and Kudos to the Mazic films

I am seeing this as the most impactful , simple and innovative add available :)
