Coke Shadow Ad: BANG on Social Networking lifestyle...

Coca Cola has come up with its new Shadow campaign commercial, as its next step under the Brand Theme of "Open Happiness". Through this commercial, coke has tried to hit hard on the personal gap that has been created among people due to the todays' social networking lifestyle. The Story Board has also given a major focus to the aspirational sense of the youth by giving a new punch line to this ad "Coke Khule toh Baat Chale" and showing how a boy and a girl came in contact with each other through coke, who were strangers and sitting alone with there laptop. Also by featuring its new Brand ambassador 'Emran Khan', coke has done its best in targeting to the youth audience.

McCann Erickson has really done a great effort in bringing up such a beautiful stroy board, live. Although, it has also becaome the first ever commercial in India that has first aired via mobile and online media, and later it aired on the TV Channels.

Big news is, that now most of the youth oriented brands are slowly moving toward pitching the space of Anti 'Social-Networking lifestyle'. We will have some more Brand names to come up soon.

CHIVAS REGAL New Print Add: Wait, Think and Be Sorry!

Recently, CHIVAS REGAL came up with a new advertisement in Print. The messaging used in this is a very lucrative but offended one. Yes, it makes you to wait and introspect yourself in terms of yours' social circle, tastes, and mainly your capacity to pay for the product.
Such kind of advertisements definitely gives an impact over the TG and pre-level TG, but again is this right to make them feel sorry for not consuming the product? Well, i say it is right, if the product is so premium like CHIVAS. Although this message communication of this advertisement also entacts the positioning of the brand in the mindset of its audience; it also ignites, urge and aspire the TG to one day consume CHIVAS REGAL.
Suggestion for 'Non-Premium Brands' - Please don't ever dare to try this strategy...!
