FOREWORD
Hello Readers!
Back in 2011 when we started writing
the initial stories at Lighthouse
Insights, most of them focused on
Facebook page likes and contests
powered by Facebook apps. Twitter
was still a kid, YouTube was a
repository for TV ads and desktop was
the only screen marketers worried
about.
Fast forward to 2015 everything
was driven by mobile, from
communications to entertainment,
life revolved on the 5-inch screen.
On digital we saw some well
integrated, innovative and ROI driven
marketing campaigns. Digital finally
got its due in the marketing mix.
Last year we introduced our first
eBook on Indian social media
marketing case studies of 2014. This
year we polished our offering and
introduced the LI Digital Awards
2015, the idea is to award the best

work from the published entries.


It brings us immense joy in launching
the second edition of best digital
marketing case studies of 2015. Out of
70 submissions, we have shortlisted
here the 43 best digital marketing
case studies of 2015.
We would like to take this opportunity
to thank the many agencies and
brands that have contributed to this
effort, and have made the second
edition possible. We believe this
eBook will act as a handy guide for
the industry.
We hope youll enjoy reading this
eBook as much as the LI team has
enjoyed compiling it. Should you have
any feedback, do write in with your
brickbats and flower bouquets to

Mahindra Go Gusto Rides


How Flying Cursors Go Gusto Rides
Campaign Reached Out To 4M Digital
Users

The Client

The Agency

Launched in September 2014 by


Mahindra Two Wheelers Limited
(MTWL), the Mahindra Gusto is the
first global scooter from the MTWL
stable. The 110 cc scooter is packed
with features such as a height
adjustable seat, find-me lamps and
flip keys that are more traditionally
seen in cars and is Mahindras entry
in the highly competitive 110cc
scooter market. Mahindra Two
Wheelers Limited is part of the USD
16.9 billion Mahindra Group.

Flying Cursor Interactive is a


digital agency that creates brand
conversations that are interesting,
inspiring and rewarding. Established
in 2009, Flying Cursor is a full service

social media marketing, technology
and innovation, websites, video
production and digital media. Some
of our key clients include National
Geographic Channel, Fox Life, Bisleri,
Urzza, Standard Chartered and
Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Problem Statement
Although the Mahindra Gusto
launched with positive reviews
within the Auto Industry and has
won awards and accolades along
the way (such as the Viewers Choice
Scooter of The Year at the CNBC TV18
Overdrive Awards 2015) this has not
translated onto the digital landscape.
Mahindra Gusto had garnered
very little interest, buzz or brand
recognition with the digital audience.

Identified Objectives
To build brand recognition, seed
conversations and generate
engagement around the Mahindra

their passions and interests.

The Strategy
The Idea: To build a digital property
that brings together interesting and
passionate communities, enabling
them to explore the things they love
on a fleet of Mahindra Gusto scooters.
The thought was to document
these journeys on the digital space,
allowing fans and followers of these
communities to watch and follow
along, thereby building a connect
between chasing your passion and the
Mahindra Gusto scooter.

Identified Objectives
1. Increasing brand awareness of
Woo.
2. Promoting the brand promise of
discovering a meaningful love
story on Woo.
3. To create a 360 degree campaign
across multiple social media
platforms, and increasing
exponentially the surround sound
effect around the TVC.
4. Increasing brand recall by
integrating TVC protagonists
and imagery across the digital
campaign.
5. Reaching out to the right target

chord with their lives and interests.
6. Disseminating information about
the slew of new pathbreaking
features that add meaning to the
quest for love.
7. Inviting user-generated content to
increase interaction and virality.
10

The Strategy
1. Launching the TVC on social
media and driving buzz around it
The TVC was uploaded in various
secondages on Facebook and
YouTube. To keep the posts
interactive, the audience was asked
to leave a comment about what they
are looking for in their life partner.
A lot of love for the TVC poured in
comments and the taglines of the
shares it received. People who left a
comment were encouraged to tell us
more about their love stories.
A segment of existing users were
sent push notifications and in-app
messages to check out the new
Woo TVC and guess the city it was
shot in to win some exciting Woo
merchandise. The contest saw 350+
entries.
Driving engagement on Twitter with
a long-form contest of 10 questions
to maximise reach and posts around
the TVC. These were promoted by
influencers to increase participation.
Cross promotions were done with
Gaana.com, which was, at the time,
running an episodic TVC series
around the love story of a boy and a
girl.
2. Feature-Centric Messaging
While the TVC drove home the
emotional aspect of Woos value
proposition, the digital campaign
integrated feature-based messaging
with imagery from the TVC to
increase awareness and recall.

a. Features were,
initially, directly talked
about, with functional
descriptions of how they
work.
b. The next task was
to make these features
come alive, and give
the audience an easily

Each of these was
promoted to people in

3. Inviting UserGenerated Content

Problem Statement

The Strategy

In an age where Parents

life for their kids, glued

Soccer Connections
needed to address this
concern & provide the
means to get their kids
out there on the field.
Soccer has overtaken
the minds of children
in India today, far
surpassing Cricket, but
very few were being
coached professionally.

Needless to say, the


best way to reach out
to parents & kids was
through social media
& email marketing. We
also needed to leverage
specific keywords being
searched for online.
Banner Ads on Google
were the more obvious
choice on various
relevant portals. It is
definitely one of the
ways for a brand to get
Discovered.

PSL needed to
immediately create a
strong Online Presence
(most parents of young
kids in this age group
are net-aware citizens),
while engaging with the
parents to enroll them
for their Coaching & the

anchor.
Prior to the creation
of this destination,
the company had a
corporate website,
rather a brand website.
The difference lay in
providing all relevant
information to the

brands Training
Credentials, Schedules

to the Championship
Events Calendar, Rules &
Scores.
It also added a
simple e-Commerce
functionality to enable
Payment of Fees
(Training & Event
Participation), which,
when you consider over
3100 children across
4 cities, was a very
onerous task in itself,
prior to this.
The second step was
to build a credible and
attractive social media
presence. Facebook
was the natural first
medium, where
the brand page was
revamped completely.
A content plan was
devised that provided
a mix of generic &
brand centric content,
which gave the TG the
best of both the worlds.
Along with Facebook,
Instagram was also
targeted in the media
mix. By the nature
of the medium, since
Instagram is visually
appealing, it helped
the brand connect with
the users in real time &
personal basis.
The 2-point focus here
was to ensure that
the audience found
the brand page to be

Relevant & Engaging. This was


reflected in the use of certain images
that resonated with the parents & the
soccer kids.
Using the Hashtag: #CaptionThis, an
audience engagement campaign was
created, which revolved around a

digital medium (on T-Shirts, Printed

with Gyaan on soccer & the JFC

Social Media was purely to generate
Engagement, Awareness & Reach,
essentially to Build The Brand. We
also used real images of students &
kids to create a personal connect. This
worked the best since
there was a competitive
spirit in every kid, as
they too wanted to be
featured on the social

Marketing firm, based out of

in India and around the world.
With expertise across all aspects
of Digital Marketing, Social Media
Campaigns, Technology, Social
Listening & Analytics Webenza
offers a wide array of solutions to
clients spanning Brand Awareness,
Community Building, ORM and Lead
Generation. Webenza, founded in
May 2012 by Puneet Pahuja, today has
a team of 60 professionals.

Problem Statement
Lack of awareness and education
among consumers with regards to
multiple financial instruments for
saving income Tax.

Identified Objectives
Create awareness and educate
people on different ways to save
Income tax through Life Insurance
schemes, under Sec 80C using
Social and Digital mediums.
Engage and interact with the target
audience to drive more traction
during the campaign.
Leverage content to drive real
business benefits.

The Strategy
Insurance in India is sold primarily
through channel sales, where
multiple advisors typically use
financial jargon to communicate
with the consumer. Those who
dont understand the benefits of
Life Insurance, but want to invest
in tax saving instruments, fail to
connect with these advisors
and hence lose out on such
investment opportunities.
The communication
strategy around Social
and Digital mediums
was to leverage popular
culture to connect with
the target audience.
The central theme of the campaign
was inspired by the quintessential
Bollywood villain, a character
23

called the Tax Monster, which is a


personification of the much-hated
taxes. This character communicated
with the audience in a typical cinema
lingo peppered with a liberal mix of
humor and the legendary dialogues of
famous villains.
What did we do?
The campaign focused around
common Tax issues faced by working
professionals/individuals. A lot of
the communication focused around
issues related to investment and
healthy investment options.
The #TaxGiri series was used as a
vital content bucket to communicate
tax trivia and tips with the target
audience. A micro-campaign
#PictureAbhiBaakiHai encouraged
users to come up with smart ideas to
overcome real-life like situations put
up by the brand.
An informative video was created
highlighting different ways of
defeating the Tax Monster.
Special days during from January
to March, and events such as The
ICC World Cup series, were
utilized with quirky #tags,
to drive engagement
and showcase the fun/
human side of the brand
#WorryFreeMoment,
#BefikarMoment,
#MaukaPeChauka
Moment, Valentines Day
#ValenTaxDay, Womens

How The Glitch Got 1000 Storytellers
For The #Endless Center Fresh Comic &
Achieved A Unique Reach Of 1M+

The Client
Center Fresh was launched in India
in 1994. At the time, India was a
market previously unexposed to any
innovation in gums, and it was at
this juncture that Center Fresh came
into the market with an exciting new
proposition mint flavoured, liquid
filled gum. It is the market leader in
the Gums category in India. With a
strong equity and loyal consumer

We are a fast-evolving creative
consultancy which has grown
impressively in the digital media
sphere.
lighthouseinsights.in

Problem Statement
Center Fresh was
launching a new
product variant in
the market called
Center Fresh Endless.
The accompanying
TVC campaign
(conceptualized Ogilvy
& Mather, Mumbai)
comprised of 3 films,
each emphasizing the
endless refreshment
offered by the product
by showing the
protagonists getting
stuck in a comical
endless loop. For
instance, one TVC
showed two men come
face to face in a narrow
doorway, trying to move
aside for the other
to pass, but instead
mirroring each others
movements and thus
blocking themselves
each time.
Our digital mandate
was to emphasize the
key proposition
that the new
products
flavour hit was
indeed endless
and engage
users in such
a manner that
helps them
experience
this Endless
feeling. Being a
launch, while it
was imperative
26

that the product be


central to the campaign,
we had to find a way to
demonstrate it digitally
and in a way that would
be engaging to users.
The key challenge was
to see what could be
enduring and yet not
boring, because when it
came down to it, what
would users really want
to be truly endless?

Identified Objectives
The one thing nobody
can get enough of
is a good story. So
we decided to make
#Endless storytellers
out of people. We began
with a simple post that
showcased the new
Center Fresh Endless
and a single line: It all
started with a chewing
gum. From here on,
we asked users to give
us the next line of the
story through Twitter

and help build a truly


#Endless story.
Users went wild with
their imagination,
tweeting whacky plots
that took the story
forward. Every hour,
the funniest tweet was
chosen to extend the
story, thus keeping it
endlessly fresh. The
chosen tweets of the day
were then illustrated
in comic book style
overnight and posted
the next day with due
credit to contributors.
At the end of three days,
we had a magnificent,
crowd sourced comic
book and till date, we
have users still sending
tweets to continue the
#Endless story.

The Strategy

end of the day,
the story was
in cliffhanger mode, with Gollum
waking up from a dream involving

other individual in the same group.
Our research showed us that a TG

Traditional digital marketing models
fail to recognize and address the
heterogeneity within a TG and

address the group through a singular


theme, hence making it inefficient
in its attempt to appeal to every
individual in the TG.
Our insight was that heterogeneity
is at the core of the TG behavior and
so, any successful marketing model
requires to take into account distinct
mindsets within a TG to formulate a

Problem Statement
Chevrolet India was
looking to launch its
SUV in the category,
Trailblazer in India.
Numerous hurdles were
pre-empted as the brand
had low awareness and
consideration in the
country and was facing
a tough time dealing
with all the negative
sentiments.
Trailblazer
being the

the brand
was facing
a tough

with proven
track records. It was
difficult to launch
its biggest and most
powerful SUV for
Chevy as brand that
was low in awareness
and consideration to
compete with SUVs who
were from established
brands and proven track
records.

Identified Objectives
The launch of the
Trailblazer was the

of screenagers who loved clicking
Selfies.

There was a dedicated website setup


calling for entries across India to be
a part of The Great Selfie Challenge.
We received participation from more
than 1250 selfie enthusiasts in 3
weeks, out of which 5 were selected
for the epic challenge. To make it
even more exciting, all the contestants
were given a limited budget of Rs. 1
lakh to complete all 7 selfie challenges
in 14 days.

Identified Objectives
The rage of selfies had already been
on for quite some time at that point.
So what stance would Panasonic and
MTV take on the new Eluga S?
And that is when The Great Selfie
Challenge came into being a one
of its kind show where 5 players
travel around India completing selfie
challenges in the quest for the most
epic selfie.

website was the


primary hub where
all the epic selfies
were uploaded by
the contestants and a

For every challenge,
the contestants had
to get the maximum
votes on their selfies
to gain points and
maintain their
position on the leader

At the end of the
journey, the players
got an additional
week to promote
their challenges and
boost their scores.
The contestant who
bagged the numero

the voting round
was declared as the
winner of The Great

walked home with a
jackpot prize of Rs.
100,000.
This entire journey
was encapsulated
into weekly vignettes
for every contestant
and showcased on-air
along with 4 weekly
TV episodes which
covered their entire

Problem Statement
Lenovo had been selling phones in
India for a year-and-a-half before
the A6000 came about. But it was yet
to make a dent in the smartphone
buyers mindset. While Indian
consumers regarded Lenovo among
the leading PC/tablet makers of the
world, they were yet to feel the same
for its smartphones.

We had to ensure the campaign


generated high demand and
Lenovo is able to sell half a million
A6000 devices and its variants,
and through Flipkart, make the
4G phone available to about 1,000
towns and cities in India.
Behavioral:
We had to position Lenovo as
an imaginative, youthful, trendy
brand in smartphones one that
would excite consumers who
were perhaps buying their first
smartphones (after doing due
diligence).

Our challenge was to reposition


Lenovo as a youthful and imaginative
proposition in smartphones, one that
could compete with popular local

The Strategy

Strategy

Lenovo had to become the first


choice in 4G handsets in the sub10K segment (that constituted
about 65% of the Indias
smartphone universe).

Our chief strategy was to launch actor


Ranbir Kapoor (he is Lenovo India
brand ambassador) on social and
create real-time content with him on
platforms where most of our target
audience was, i.e. Snapchat, Vine,
Tumblr besides the usual suspects:
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

We had to fit into the 1:8 flash-sale


conversion rate on Flipkart (the
platform with which Lenovo has
an exclusive tie-up) which basically
means that 1 out of every 8
registrations on Flipkart translates
into a purchase. With this, Lenovo
was trying to reinvent its sales
model in India.
40

Ranbir was to be the creator and


the A6000 as the device of creation.
Our campaign idea was rooted in
tapping the power of real-time social
engagement while utilizing the star
actors appeal in our TG. And all this

with the A6000 at its


centre.
Execution
To build anticipation
around the launch,
we leaked the news
of Ranbir joining
social media to his fan
clubs. The excitement

The unique combination of


engagement plus performance
marketing led to a total of 1.8

received 2,55,000 registrations for
the first flash sale. On the day of
the sale, 10,000 units that were
made available flew off the shelves
in 2 seconds.
In the next flash sale, 20,000 units
were sold in 3 seconds, followed
by 30,000 units in 4 seconds in the
last. And in six months, we sold
3,00,000 units of the A6000 making

one of the most-searched items on
Flipkart.
Lenovos brand awareness levels

Problem Statement
Raising awareness for the
movie Chef airing in India
for the first time on Romedy
NOW and engaging people
on our social channels.

Identified Objectives
Drive engagement and
build buzz for Chef
through a digitally driven
on-ground activity for 360
degree impact.

The Strategy
The strategy of #romedytrail
was a multi-city race that
unites travel, food and
social media which are
the core elements of the
movie Chef. The trail was
held in Mumbai, Delhi and
Bangalore with 10 teams
participating from each city.
Each participating team
had to perform tasks that
were driven through social
media. Upon completing
the task, the participants
would get to eat delicious
food at exclusively selected
restaurants of the city,
complete the trail to win the
Romedy trail.
Execution
To assist with the trail,
Romedy NOW partnered
with Uber and WOW Tables.
A microsite (romedytrail.
44

com) was created which


spoke about the activity and
allowed users to register
for the trail. To drive
participation the trail was
promoted on Romedy NOW.
Social Media was used
heavily to drive entries via
witty and compelling posts.
Post screening and
evaluation, teams of 3 were
chosen from each city and
announced on social media.
Since this is a race, starting
locations for each city were
disclosed a day before the
race. As a buildup towards
trail day, posts were
shared on social media to
encourage and motivate the
participants.
On the day of the trail,
tweets were sent out from
the Romedy handle to
the team leaders from
the 3 cities asking them
to decipher the name of
the movie based on the
plot of the movie that was
shared in 140 characters
(#Romedy140). Upon
answering correctly, the
list of restaurants for each
city were shared with the
teams.
Upon reaching the
restaurant, teams were
asked to perform tasks
[tweet based, video based
and photo based] that
were driven by Twitter.
Post which, they had to get
a certain no. of RTs to be

apprised of the dish to be ordered at


the restaurant. Teams had to eat at 4
restaurants as a part of the race, post
which they would have to reach the
pre-defined end point of the trail.
The end location was only revealed
to the teams after they had uploaded
a collage of all the activities they
did during the day and received 50
Retweets on the photo.
In order to maintain an even keel for
all teams, there was a Leaderboard in
place, on the microsite which showed
the position of each team from the
3 cities. All tweets had to use the
hashtag #RomedyTrail to be eligible to
be counted.

Results
In less than 3 weeks, #RomedyTrail
generated more than 46 million
impressions worldwide with @
RomedyNOW receiving more than
7218 mentions from 1309 users.
Of the 7218 mentions, 5341 were
re-tweets, 1298 replies and 579
regular tweets.

whereas the overall engagement


rate of #RomedyTrail was 3.3%.
#RomedyTrail was trending in
Mumbai for 4 hours collectively, in
Bangalore for 2 hours collectively.
@RomedyNow and #RomedyTrail
were also trending in India for this
activity.

Observations
Pre-empting tweets such as the
Romedy140 and the other clues
beforehand allowed the execution
process to be a lot smoother.
Having the restaurant handles
converse with the Romedy handle
and the participants would have
added a more wholesome experience
to the entire event.
Due to the immense success of the first
edition, the introduction of the concept
of #RomedyTrail in a new city every
month could help in the creation of an
IP for Romedy NOW.

Each tweet received an


engagement rate of at least 50%

lighthouseinsights.in

Problem Statement
When it comes to numbers, Diwali
gets bigger and bigger every year.
About 40% of consumer shopping
is done in the quarter surrounding
Diwali and this year alone the
estimated consumer purchases
were approximately $6billion
(Source: Business Standard).
Grabbing a high share of sale in
this period is obviously critical to
a credit card brands success. It is
also a great time to acquire new
customers.
However, with the brands setting
an estimated Rs.2000 Crs for digital
media spends alone, one could
imagine what kind of advertising
marathon it would be to chase our
audience and achieve a reasonable
share of voice.
It was very easy to get lost in the
communication chaos during the
festive season.
Citis festive offer line-up was
undoubtedly impressive. However,
the festive season is also marked by a
lot of noise and a sea of sameness
Dhoom Dhamaka offers on the one
hand to saccharine-coated family
bonding stories on the other. The
strategic communications challenge
therefore was to be able to break
through the clutter, without breaking
the codes of the festive spirit.

Identified Objectives
Citi, like all financial players, looked
at this as a great opportunity to:
50

Drive card spends Achieve


growth of 10% over last year same
period.
Aid new acquisitions Target
20% increase in credit card
applications and 30% increase in
loan applications, over same time
last year.
Building Citi brand preference
Meet the cards brand preference
target of 67, set for the year.

The Strategy
Market Trends
The key consumer & cultural insights
behind the design of the festive
campaign were:
Buying goods (now increasingly
online) & gifting to loved ones
being part of age old traditions and
considered auspicious.
High ticket shopping put on hold,
in wait of deals & deep discounts.
Large part of the online consumers
time being spent on Social, where
fresh & talk worthy communication
creates conversations & breaks
clutter.
The big idea
The spirit of Dussehra and
Diwali encompasses renewal
and enhancement. We get new
clothes, buy new things, replace old
appliances with new ones and above
all gift our loved ones. We do this
year after year. The insight was in

the irony of the spirit of


sameness of celebration.
Like everything else,
people want to make
their lives interesting
and get away from
monotony. So could we
get them to talk about
something absolutely
new to celebrate this
year, which goes beyond
the monotony?
While decoding the
category, product
(credit cards), Citi bank,
category and Indian
culture we
realized that
this festival is
about optimism
and finding
interesting
experiences.
People chase

to also, surprise their

was a key challenge for Dell India
to create relevant and memorable

On digital, the aim was to be a part

Lifebuoy #HelpAChildReach5
How The Glitch Took Lifebuoys Chamki To
Digital Users With The Help Of Influencers &
Amplified Reach Using Command Centre

The Client
As the worlds leading health soap,
Lifebuoy aims to make a difference by
creating accessible hygiene products
(soap) and promoting healthy hygiene
habits. The Lifebuoy brand has,
since 1894, supported people in their
quest for better personal hygiene.
The classic red bar of Lifebuoy
soap and its distinctive medicated
carbolic smell was synonymous with
cleanliness throughout the twentieth
century.

The Agency
76

Founded in 2009 by Varun Duggirala


and Rohit Raj The Glitch has
delivered several innovative
campaigns over the years. Managing
close to 50 accounts across industries
and platforms including Lakme,
Whisper, Puma, Hyatt, Pears,
Cornetto, Set Wet amongst others.
Today, with offices in Mumbai, Delhi
and Bangalore, The Glitch is a name
to reckon with in the creative arena.
We are a fast-evolving creative
consultancy which has grown
impressively in the digital media
sphere

Problem Statement
Every year 6 million children die
before the age of 5 with 44% deaths
occurring within the first 28 days
of birth and these are the statistics
just in India. There was a dire need
to send out a ripple of awareness
for this; that a simple act of handwashing can save millions of lives.
Lifebuoy has always been the one
spearheading this initiative with their
objective being creating awareness
resulting in change and most
importantly giving people a ray of
hope.
This is where we stepped in and
leveraged Lifebuoy latest film,
Chamki. Our objective
was to launch the
Chamki film and
encourage people to
not just share it online
but share it for real,
with people who need
to watch it.

Identified Objectives
We wanted to piggy
back on a disruptive
conversation to bring
attention to Chamkis story. We had to
make sure Chamkis voice was heard
by as many people as possible. So we
decided to create a Twitter account
for her and made sure she reached
out to as many people as possible
once the conversation was started by
the influencers.

The Strategy
What we had was a video that really
77

brought out the reality of the situation


through Chamki. But, how could we
instigate real sharing of this video?
Our strategy: Bait them, Hook them
and then Surprise them!
Phase 1 Build conversations with
influencers
We got influencers to initiate the
campaign by engaging with their
followers using #5YearsFromNow.
With 269 influencers tweeting, we
trended India-wide in just 15 minutes!
Phase 2 Real time listening
Once enough buzz was created,
Chamki, stepped in. A twitter account
was made for her
where she tweeted
her thoughts and
feelings about her
future, bringing
attention to the
issues faced by
children like her. She
responded to peoples
predictions of their
future with feelings
of uncertainty over
hers making the
user reflect and
introspect.
In order to listen to such a large
number of conversations real-time
we employed the use of Lifebuoys
Command Centre. We were able
to constantly track and measure
customer behavior and viewpoints,
analyze brand relevance and go
beyond just listening to social chatter
on digital channels and thus made
Lifebuoys first ever Command Center
a success.
lighthouseinsights.in

Lifebuoy revealed Chamkis


story through the film with
#HELPACHILDREACH5 and everyone
responded to Chamkis story! The
result? We started trending in less
than 20mins as the Top Trend for
more than 4 hours!
Not only did the Twitterati laud the
film but media houses as well giving
us great organic PR!

Result
In Phase 1 when influencers
started tweeting, we trended Indiawide in just 15 minutes! With
6500+ conversations, more than 33
million impressions and reaching
6.6 million unique users.
At Phase 2, we then used our
command center to amplify the
film, responding to all those who
used the #5YearsFromNow and
#HelpAChildReach5. With results
as 10000+ conversations generated
by #HelpAChildReach5. Hitting
84 Million+ impressions and 4.6
Million+ unique users.
With @LifebuoySoap handle
feeling the effect too! With 2000+
interactions. Our highest tweet
engagement hit 11.5% against the
benchmark of 3-5%
And how did the Chamki film
perform?
1.5 Million Views in the first 10
hours. Day 2 2.5 Million views
with 3.3K shares in the first 2 days!
And total shares of 5.2K.

78

Moreover, our core objective of


this campaign was to Share for
REAL with mediums like Whatsapp
and SMS and we reached 1400+
Consumers beyond Digital too.

Observations
Digital buzz with bloggers, influencers
and celebrities worked tremendously
and helped creating buzz around the
campaign and specific keywords.
The hashtag #5YearsFromNow
prompted listeners across Twitter
to use it in their own way and share
their thoughts and opinions on social
media.
With the help of command center,
the campaign went beyond just social
listening and reached people we
couldnt have reached otherwise.

lighthouseinsights.in

Problem Statement

The Big Idea Youtube360

In the midst of various dance reality


shows on television, we dared to do
something different. Dance Plus was
a show that showcased superlative
dancing, where the contestants,
judges and the host were all on the
same platform (everybody on the
show was a dancer, including the
host!)

Keeping in mind the innovative


format of the show, we decided to use
Googles latest capability of uploading
360 videos on YouTube.

The challenge at hand was to break


through the clutter and fatigue of
the various dance shows already
on television which have been
traditionally marketed through push
strategy.
By pulling audiences to watch our
content, we managed to engage with
audiences in a way never seen before
by Indian audiences.

This video streaming service now


serves up videos that let you look in
any directionnot just where the
camera is pointing. You can even
pause and move the phone in any
direction and see what is happening.
This gives viewers a feeling of owning
the video and being present LIVE!
The video strategically ends with
Remo DSouza inviting the user to
tune in to Dance Plus at the specific
time. (NOTE: Please watch on Android
phone on YouTube app for the best
experience, or in the Google Chrome
browser on desktop)

Identified Objectives
Objective of this piece
of content marketing
was to make people
stand up and take
notice of a dance video
being delivered in
360. The strategy of
being the first ones
to use this innovative
technology in India was
to get as many views
for the video (because
of the immersive and
engaging user experience) while also
weaving in the communication about
the new show Dance Plus.

The Strategy
80

Not only was the creative compelling


to watch, it was promoted on the
YouTube mobile masthead for 24
hours a day before the launch of the
show which helped generate more
buzz and conversations.

Celebrities were aligned and


leveraged to promote this unique and
disruptive masterpiece.
Entire STAR Network also supported
the never-seen-before initiative
and helped generate conversations
organically.
Results
This was a first of its kind video on
YouTube (India) which allowed twoway engagement and active viewing
(as opposed to passive viewing). This
video was promoted on the YouTube
mobile masthead for 24 hours and
crossed half a million views in just a
few hours after its launch.

Observations
In an industry and medium where it
is convenient to use push strategy,
and content marketing is synonymous
with video marketing, we tried to
do something different by making
compelling content, which with a
mix of push from a strategic media
buy (YouTube masthead) and organic
conversations from engaged viewers,
gave an immersive experience to the
viewers.
This innovative video helped generate
a lot of buzz for the launch of the
show. (First episode rated 2.5 TVRone of the top ratings for any dance
reality show)

Indias first ever #YouTube360


video managed to impress 34
million people on Facebook and
reach over 10 million people on
Twitter.
Celebs, STAR Network and users
were amazed by this initiative
by STAR Plus and could not stop
raving about it.
This video also featured on

videos alongside 360 videos of Star

KLM Airlines #LetsGoDutch


How CogMat Engaged KLM Airlines
Potential Customers With #LetsGoDutch
Campaign

The Client

The Agency

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines was


founded in 1919, making it the
worlds oldest airline still operating
under its original name. In 2004, Air
France and KLM merged to form AIR
FRANCE KLM. The merger produced
the strongest European airline group
based on two powerful brands and
hubs Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
and Paris Charles de Gaulle. Retaining
its own identity, the group focuses
on three core businesses: passenger
transport, cargo and aircraft
maintenance.

CogMat was born in 2010 out of the


need to deliver sustainable online
solutions. Backed by CMSS, a 14-year
old software services company, we
consider technology not just our core
strength, but one of our foundations.
Though we started off as a Social
Media Agency, we are now a fullfledged Digital Media Agency, offering
a gamut of services to improve a
brands online life cycle. CogMat is
a perfect blend of a creative agency
and the best practices of the software
industry.

82

Problem Statement
KLM, on social media,
had been engaging with
their audience since
2014, using the thought
process Surprise.
This was achieved by
conducting contests
some of which had huge
giveaways, that in the
form of a free ticket to a
KLM destination. While
this did create traction
for the brand, there was
a fear that we may be
creating an audience
base who only engaged
in the hope of winning
a freebie one day, and
never actually becoming
a customer.
Coupled with this fear
was a concern on how
the brand was viewed
by the online audience,
in a universe where
the brands competitors
gained directly from the
positive brand recall of
their home countries,
many of whom featured
in the brands name.
Having built an amount
of recall, the aim
was, now, to induce
purchase from the target
audience.

Identified Objectives
Executing a precampaign and
prepping the
83

audience for a
campaign with no
free tickets, Lets Go
Dutch.
Creating and
executing a quirky
#LeaveApplication
contest on KLMs
social media
platforms to build
traction and a prebuzz for the Lets Go
Dutch campaign.
Engaging fans and a
target audience who
could be potential
customers.
High Visibility to
Action Ratio.

The Strategy
Considering the strategy
in 2015 was to engage
people who would be
able to purchase our
tickets, it was pertinent
to first define that
audience. Basing the
whole campaign on the
idea of social commerce,
the target was to engage
with audiences that
would buy a KLM ticket.
The audience was
segregated into three
categories, after detailed
research, that was a mix
of young individualistic
travelers who travel for
fun, the Indian family,

and those who travel for


a cultural experience
and shopping. By
leveraging the brands
Dutch identity, we
wanted give away
something equally
relevant in hope that
those amongst the target
audience engaging
with us would become
lifelong customers.
Now, there was a
requirement to inculcate
more aspects of the
Dutch culture, which is
fun and is much more
casual than the culture
of other European
nations, reflected by
their national airlines.
Hence, a communication
tone was devised, to
both, induce purchase
and leverage the brands
Dutch connection.
That is how
#LetsGoDutch was born.
A campaign, where
the airline would go
Dutch on the price, by
offering an incentive to
purchase a ticket. This
set up a prerequisite
that any participant
who seriously wanted
to engage on our
activations would need
to be willing to purchase
a ticket.
Once the strategy
was set, a new
communication tone
lighthouseinsights.in

was introduced to the audience via


a video. The video was aimed at all
three of the above target audiences,
who personified their dreams and
challenges.
This video was paired with a series
of #tags and activities, each of which
were aimed at connecting with the
audience.
The first engagement was called
#LeaveApplication, where audiences
were teased about the new campaign

by asking to create a fun leave


application. This was followed by
#BeforeFlight, where users were
asked how they would have reached
the nine select destinations, that KLM
was promoting, before flight existed.
Following the launch of the video,
the audience was asked to create a
dream itinerary for one of the nine
pre-decided destinations and why
they would like KLM to go Dutch with
them in #LetsGoDutch.
This was followed by
#DeserveToGoDutch where users
were asked which one of their friends
most resembled the characters in
our video (and hence fell into the
particular target audience).
84

The prizes were not free tickets but


discounts on tickets purchased to
select destinations, buddy tickets and
other offers, most of which required
a purchase. In this way, the campaign
aimed to induce purchase, ensuring
we had the right target audience.

Results
On Twitter, there were 475
participants and 147 new followers
were gained

Total impressions made by the


campaign on Twitter: 16,898,150,
with 4217 Mentions
On Facebook, there were 374
entries with 95 unique participants
Total Reach: 125,507, Engagement:
11,535, Impressions: 181,042,
Interactions (Likes + Comments +
Shares): 10,882
Total Video Views (YouTube +
Facebook): 86,610
As we see from the data above, the
#LetsGoDutch campaign not only
garnered eyeballs, but it managed to
go through the spectrum and engage
the relevant audience. The main

ideology behind the campaign was


to engage the kind of audience that
had the purchasing power to buy a
KLM ticket and induce purchase of
the same, keeping the in mind the
brands social commerce aim, as well
as creating lifelong customers.
This audience consisted of travel
and lifestyle bloggers, that not only
had a good follower base on their
social media properties, but also
travelers that would explore KLM
destinations. Most of these bloggers
and influencers have been featured
on various lists that contain names of
the top travel and lifestyle blogging
personalities.

Observations
The one thing that was observed
during the KLM #LetsGoDutch
campaign is that a brand doesnt
necessarily need to give away freebies
to garner eyeballs. Moreover, it was
possible as proven above, to induce
purchase by leveraging social media.
The idea for a campaign such as this,
is to create content that engages the
relevant audience while creating
customers as well.
We have proven that the audience
is looking for activities apart from
the standard giveaways that have
become staple for social media
campaigns. What was very exciting
was the realization that a customer
is willing to buy the brands offering
to actually be part of a greater travel
and social media experience. KLMs
#LetsGoDutch has done exactly that
and achieved the desired result.

Problem Statement
Britannia Good Day is
an INR 20,000M brand
selling 70lakh packs
every day. It is also one
of the most cherished
brands in India. While
Good Day continued
to grow strongly and
expand its franchise, it
was a challenge for the
brand to keep pace with
the evolving consumer
and remain relevant.
Being the market leader,
the brand had to raise
the bar for itself on
visual identity, product
and brand experience.
Britannia Good Day
in its biggest change,
since its inception 28
years ago, brings alive
its philosophy not just
in the identity and
packaging, but also
on the cookie in the
form of Smiles. With
the contemporary new
logo and packaging,
Good Days intent is to
bring freshness and
enhance its appeal with
the consumers. Even
the cookie has been
enhanced with more
visible rich ingredients
and best ever taste.
The challenge at hand
was twofold:
(1) Communicate the
new brand idea of Its a

smile that makes a Good


day
(2) Register the new
visual identity and
product experience

Phase II: World Smile Day

in improving Indias Happiness


Quotient!
Strategy
We decided to ride on the fact that
Indian consumers are heavily
influenced by celebrities. We roped
in 9 social media influencers who are
genuinely loving and smiling people.
We used them as brand ambassadors
to spread the awareness about World
Smile Day and encourage Indians to
smile more often!

World Smile Day is celebrated


internationally on the first Friday of
October 2nd Oct, 2015. BGD brought
the celebration closer to home. We
used WSD as the biggest marketing
event of 2015 building brand
relevance with smile.
Background

A startling fact was discovered


during our research on the relaunch:
India ranks 117 on World Happiness
Index lower than some of our
neighbours! We believe that smile
is a manifestation of happiness.
And if Indians started smiling more,
we could make a humble attempt
100

We also built in more purpose to the


campaign to spread smiles by tying up
with The Akshaya Patra Foundation
the leading NGO providing mid day
meals in schools across India. For
every smile picture uploaded, we
donated a pack of Good Day cookies
to the foundation. This helped build
a huge traction online and generated
a lot of conversations associating the
brand strongly with smiles.
The communication is also supported
by ongoing topical messaging building
a brand recall around smiles across
channels.
We did on ground activations during

this phase to reiterate the message.


On Ganesh Chaturthi, we created
a Ganesha idol made of Good Day
cookies. We also put up a slide at a
busy metro station in Bangalore to
make adults smile like children.

Results
At the end of the 40 days period,
the brand saw a significant boost
in its performance and perception.
Considering that the focus of
communication after rebrand has
primarily been on digital, it is safe to
assume that a large part of the result
for the brand has been driven by the
initiatives on the digital medium.
These are some of the overall larger
goals achieved
Brand perception score on
Premium & attractive went up
from 65 to 70
The rebrand communication
resulted in m-o-m sales growth of
23% as opposed to 18% in the last 6

mystery gadget called
Bon 6, which was
loaded with the most

teaser images for the


campaign were leaked
into the media.
The features listed out
in the teasers were

All the features
were carefully

of the all new

During the
teaser campaign,

to join in the

An added
challenge to this
was to spread
the word and
grab attention
of the youth
while having

to the campaign. We
got on board two
celebrities who were
popular amongst the
youth, VJ Bani and

People were so intrigued
about the product, that

Additionally,
mystery boxes
with the Bon 6

sent to expert

instantly reacted

about its unboxing
on their social

changed to communicate about the
product and its new features. Kriti
and VJ Bani revealed the Bon 6, and
asked everyone for their reactions.
Throughout the day, users were
constantly engaged and were asked
to guess what this new product was.
This not only helped manage the
expectations but also got them excited
to figure out what this was. To the
brands delight, the consumers really
took to the buzz and started engaging
with the brand through pictures and
comments.
Finally, the loop was closed for
all the users who touched the
campaign during the teaser phase
via remarketing ads by telling them
that the Bon 6 was actually the new
Britannia Bourbon.

Results
We effectively used bloggers,
influencers and celebrities to
overcome the problem of not having
any presence on digital prior to this
campaign. Just within 3 days, the
Bon 6 campaign garnered huge
participation and following, making
it a huge success. The reactions sent
in by the participants echoed this
accomplishment.

engagements were generated over
the course of the campaign which
lasted for 4 days.

Observations
The idea was innovative but at the
same time risky. The campaign had
to be intriguing enough to make
them comeback. The creative and
build up had to stay clear of making
the consumers realize that it was
not a mobile launch. So all the
communications during the teaser
phase were carefully crafted.
On the day of the launch, it was
important to steer the conversations
towards the product. Hence it was
important to constantly engage with
the audiences and seed some doubt
in their mind that it might not be a
device launch after all.
Influencers and bloggers were
strategically used to seed
communications to create intrigue, it
was important for them to fire at the
right time to build up the curiosity
amongst the TG. This helped further
since the brand had zero social media
presence prior to the campaign.

Problem Statement
Flipkart announced
the 2nd edition of its
flagship sale, The Big
Billion Days Sale, to be
held in October, 2015.
The Big Billion Day
Sale in 2014 introduced
Indian e-shoppers
to a sale format of a
magnitude they hadnt
seen before. For 2015,
with over 40,000 sellers
offering products across
all categories, to say
that expectations from
the 2nd edition were
immense, would be an
understatement.
Webchutney was
handed the digital
responsibilities for The
Big Billion Days sale. We
converged to one overarching communication
thought for the sale
The bigger the sale, the
bigger the preparation.
The articulation for the
lead communication
we followed was Abhi
Nahin Toh Kabhi Nahin /
Now or Never.
The 2 major differences
between the second and
first edition of the sale
were:

of Storytelling.
We decided to take this gem of a
lesson a step further. What if we
could create a beginning and an end,
but put how a story panned out in
the hands of the people. We wanted
to create an interactive experience
which would strongly remind
participants that The Big Billion Days Sale was right
around the corner.
It was time to prepare for The Big
Billion Days (TBBD).
Platform we selected for hosting
the campaign:
Instagram A visual story-telling
platform that has a very attractive
mosaic-based display format. The
only purpose of Instagram is to tell
stories, through pictures mostly, or
through videos. Key reasons for going
for this platform were:
The mosaic layout of photos is very
attractive to look at.
Tags on Instagram make it easy to
move from one account to another.
So navigation for an interactive
experience was literally one-touch.
It was made for one and only one
platform the smartphone.
Platforms
we selected
for campaign
promotion:

social media, especially Facebook


and Twitter, Facebook 5,000,000 + &
Twitter 5,00,000 +
Hence, we decided to promote the
campaign on Facebook and Twitter
primarily.
The Execution
The big billion hunt reinventing
the Indian instagram landscape
Premise: A use of Instagram as a
creative device. We used multiple
Instagram accounts to create an
interactive user experience.
Scenes (photographs representing
a situation) were represented by
splitting the scene (photo) into an
array of 9 square photo (An Instagram
accounts optimum view displays a
mosaic of 9 photos). So scenes in the
virtual experience were represented
by accounts and the navigation
between scenes was facilitated by
Instagram tags.
Concept: The Big Billion Hunt - A
treasure hunt that gave users a
unique opportunity to explore a TBBD
shoppers house and find his Big
Billion Kit items. These are items that
would make a smartphone-only sale
a much faster and easier experience
for an e-shopper. On finding all items,
participants would be eligible to
win a collective prize of Rs. 50,000
in Flipkart eGVs
(electronic gift
vouchers).
The Story:

The Big Billion Hunt Instagram


Environment

Navigation Mechanism: In order to


streamline the storytelling experience
for participants, we created 2
navigation symbols:
Pointing Hand: For navigation
between rooms and areas in the
house.
Bullet in Circle: For opening/
checking objects for a Big Billion
Tool.
Instagram tags were placed on
these navigation icons. So whenever
someone tapped on the navigation
icon in a photo, a tag would appear,
which when tapped would take them
to the next scene.
Instagram Back Button/
Smartphone Return Button: Both
of them served as the icon to go
back to the previous scene. We
didnt want to crowd our scenes
with icons. To largest possible
extent, we wanted to make use of
native Instagram features or native
smartphone features.
110

We left no stone unturned in creating


a complete visual storytelling

experience. Each of our scenes were


hosted on one dedicated account.
Thus, including the campaign landing
account, the final gratification
scenes where our protagonist Tarun
is reunited with his tools and the
Flipkart Instagram account, The Big
Billion Hunt experience was built
creating 32 Instagram accounts.
Account Names: Each of the 31
accounts were strategically given
action based names. For example:
search_ground_floor was the
account name for the Ground Floor
Primary Scene. So, when someone
clicked on the navigation icon in the
living room, the tag that would read
search_ground_floor. Tapping
on the tag would take them from
the living room to, well, search the
ground floor scene. This made the
user experience more natural.

users with the Rs. 50,000 eGV
bounty. The post showed the
protagonist Tarun sitting on his
couch and looking very glum. This
post redirected users directly to the
Instagram Big Billion Hunt Landing
account flipkart_big_billion_hunt.

Brand Placement in the Big


Billion hunt: So we had a virtual
world. Why not have TBBD brand
properties in this virtual world? It
was our own world after all. We
incorporated visual elements in the
hunt that fit in naturally with our
lead communication and delivered
a sense of urgency about the sale to
participants. The brand properties we
incorporated were:
1. Calendar with TBBD dates marked
in the living room scene.
2. Laptop with TBBD commercial in
the bedroom scene.
3. Rooftop TBBD billboard in balcony
scene.

Twitter We took a phased


approach here. We released
intrigue tweets at around 10:00
AM to create a buzz around the
hashtag #TheBigBillionHunt. Once
the tweeples warmed up to
the fact that something huge was
coming their way, we released
our launch post along with an
attractive campaign image and a
link to the Big Billion Hunt landing
account. Over the course of the
day we released a 6 second promo
video and some support tweets
to keep the excitement going for
#TheBigBillionHunt.

Campaign Launch:
The Big Billion Hunt was launched
at 12:00 noon on 10th October,
2015. Earlier on the same day, we

tag that took participants directly


to the Big Billion Hunt Landing
account. On the campaign day, no
other post were.
Periscope We used Periscope
to live broadcast the launch of
#TheBigBillionHunt, right from the
Webchutney office. The broadcast
showed the Webchutney team
doing a countdown from 10, and
of course, going crazy when we
officially launched the campaign.

Results
The Big Billion Hunt was an
undisputable hit. Clearly, Indian
netizens were getting tired of the runof-the-mill contests and quizzes as a
means to engagement. In addition to
huge organic reach, we experienced
an unprecedented excitement about
the campaign and its innovativeness.
Participants from all demographics
shared the campaign within their
social network, leading to a very high
organic reach. 5 winners of the Rs.
50,000 eGV bounty were announced
on 12th October on the Flipkart
Twitter Handle, but the property was
kept public on popular demand.
Campaign Launch Date: 10th October,
2015.
Duration of the campaign: 12 hours
12:00 PM to 00:00 AM.
Note: All data presented is for the 12
hours while the campaign was live.
Instagram Participation Data
560 public posts generated with

Over 721 followers on the flipkart_

Nearly 400 new followers were
added to the Flipkart Instagram
account (@flipkart) during the
campaign duration. Note: Nowhere
in the campaign was it mandatory
to follow the Flipkart account.
The whole campaign was hosted
on different Instagram accounts
altogether. Hence this follower
spike was voluntary and purely
organic.
Twitter Data - For #TheBigBillionHunt

The best outcome for brand
Flipkart and The Big Billion Days
Sale through The Big Billion Hunt
was the sheer organic popularity it
received. Participants on Instagram
were extremely liberal with their
admiration of the experience
and went on to tag their friends
voluntarily.

Some participants even went a step


ahead and initiated conversations
with their unassuming friendly
protagonist, Tarun, expressing their
solidarity!

Media Coverage

Cross Platform Promotion: No


matter which social media platform
your campaign is hosted on, cross
platform promotion is essential to
ensure holistic participation.

The Big Billion Hunt was hailed by


many industry relevant media
outlets for its novel approach to
storytelling through the use of
Instagram. The first coverage of the
activity was by Mad-Over-Marketing,
less than 24 hours after the campaign
ended.

Role of Influencers: Indias social


media landscape is increasing every
single day. In order to give a large
campaign a fitting promotional
strategy, social media influencers are
key. More importantly, influencers
must be chosen based on the TG your
campaign pertains to.

Observations

Brand Connect: Innovation for


innovations sake is futile. Having
a strong brand connect can
exponentially increase brand recall
achieved through a campaign.

The Big Billion Hunt has been a


great learning experience for both
Webchutney and Flipkart. Here are
our key takeaways:
Potential of Instagram: Instagram
as a visual marketing platform has
huge potential in India. The reasons
are simple. It is free of the random
clutter of content you find on other
platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
Content doesnt start spilling in from
anywhere and everywhere.

Content is King, Always: Innovation


doesnt always mean the creation of
a new platform. Innovation needs
to come into the quality of content.
Only then can organic popularity be
achieved.

Emotional Connect: The Indian


netizen is getting saturated with
standard and repetitive engagement,
which has very transactional content.
The only way to attract people
who are not the usual contest
mongers is to create a unique
storytelling experience that gives
them something to smile about. The
fact that participants were given the
responsibility to help out a fellow

Observations
During the course of Junior Football
Camp Season 6, the company has
learned a few lessons. We understand
that a complete online activity was
initiated considering the increasing
number of internet users and the
wider reach that comes with it.
However, presence of the activity
both on the online platform and on
the ground will make it a win-win
proposition for both the football
aspirants and the company.
116

A holistic online campaign and


selection trial on the ground should
happen simultaneously in order
to make the talent hunt even more
popular. Going forward, our efforts
will be to offer both these platforms
as part of JFC in different parts of
the country to make this a unique
platform for budding football talents.

progressed, the team improvised on
the strategy and built more ideas on
the response to the campaign.

Problem Statement
One of the biggest
challenges for
e-commerce players
is to keep up their
traffic and sales
numbers during
weekends. On
Sundays, people like
to relax at home
or go out to shop.
Hence, an online dip
in sales is a common
phenomenon.
ShopClues felt a
need to tap this
opportunity, to drive
sales on Sundays and
took up an uphill
challenge.

Mentos #FarakPadega
How The Glitch Got Chicken
Conversations To Go Viral For Mentos By
Achieving 111M Impressions On Twitter

The Client

The Agency

Mentos started its journey in India


way back in 1999. Subsequently in
2003, it got an Indianized tagline of
Dimaag ki Batti Jala de based on
its positioning of smart thinking.
This line has become a part of
local lingo amongst young people.
A large part of Mentos success is
attributed to its advertising, which is
funny, exaggerated and immensely
memorable. Mentos is available in
mouthwatering flavours such as mint,
strawberry, orange, watermelon and
lime with many more to come.

Founded in 2009 by Varun Duggirala


and Rohit Raj The Glitch has
delivered several innovative
campaigns over the years. Managing
close to 50 accounts across industries
and platforms including Lakme,
Whisper, Puma, Hyatt, Pears,
Cornetto, Set Wet amongst others.
Today, with offices in Mumbai, Delhi
and Bangalore, The Glitch is a name
to reckon with in the creative arena.
We are a fast-evolving creative
consultancy which has grown
impressively in the digital media
sphere.

sorts. We did this by
taking these plucky
characters online and
letting online users
discover their sparkling
personalities and
acerbic wit.
The Chickens were
now active on social
media and people
began interacting
with them in droves.
Users interrupted
the Chickens online

the Mentos message
and were left laughing
at the angry
retorts. Once
the concept

and the main
message had

established, we
got ready for
the inevitable
- Revenge of
the Chickens.
Tired of being
interrupted
by Mentos
and its fans,
the Chickens
decided to
strike back and do the
same to consumers.
Finally, a dramatic
twist and a call for
help by Mentos, would
eventually see the fans
restore things to normal
and bring the campaign
to a close.

At the end of this phase,


we had achieved what
we wanted - most
people had seen the
consistently seeded TVC
and/or had experienced
the concept of it i.e.
interrupting chickens
with the Mentos
message.
Phase II: Convince The
Chicken
Now that users had

seen how Mentos had


(unsuccessfully) tried to
tell the Chickens about
the new Mentos, both
in the TVC and online,
we asked them for their
help in doing the same
through
FB/Twitter
contests.
Users were
encouraged
to post/
tweet to the
Chickens
with their
most
creative
rendition of
the Bigger
Better Softer
message in
an attempt to convince
the Chickens to try the
new Mentos. The most
creative entries would
be awarded with a gift
voucher; though the
bigger reward was being
singled out and insulted
by the Chicken, for
ruffling his feathers!
Phase III: Revenge Of
The Chickens
The Chickens now took
to YouTube to start
complaining about the
Mentos spammers...
by interrupting users
themselves!
This was achieved by
non-skippable YouTube
pre-roll ads which were
lighthouseinsights.in

targeted to appear on
the ten most common
keywords for maximum
impact. So for instance,
a user searching for
a music video would
instead see a nonskippable video of a
Chicken singing croakily.
And just at brink of
irritation, the Chicken
would turn deliberately
and say sarcastically
into the camera: Am I
interrupting you? The
Chicken would then
warn the user not to
interrupt them further

and let the video play.


Following this warning,
which obviously went
unheeded, the Chickens
suddenly take over the
Mentos Facebook page!
They hold Mentos
hostage and refuse to
leave until users solve
the riddles they set,
using their Dimag Ki
Batti. Finally, after 8
days of hostage drama
136

and an unprecedented
number of participants
in a contest without
influencers or even
gratifications, loyal
users manage to free
Mentos from the
Chickens, who true to
their word, disappeared
without a trace.

Results
The Mentos
#FarakPadega campaign
(Phase I & II) lasted for
9 days during which
we announced both the

change in packaging
and our avatars, the
Chickens.
During these 9 days,
users interacting
and participating
with the chickens
crossed 950 users,
with conversations
touching 60,000.
The Chicken

conversations
went viral and they
garnered more
than 111 million
impressions for the
campaign on Twitter.
The unique reach
of our tweets
with the hashtag
#FarakPadega was
more than 2.8 million.
The campaign
had its onground
achievements as well.
As the price point
had increased (From
50p to Re 1) Perfetti

had predicted a drop


in its market share.
The campaign was
designed to prevent
that from happening,
by keeping Mentos
alive in its consumers
mind through its
fresh and quirky
communication. In
January, our market
share was 9%,
however by April
our market share

had climbed to a whopping 21%.


An entire 12% increase in just two
months!
Our top of the mind awareness
had taken a big hit due to our
price change, but since the
inception of #FarakPadega, it has
risen across all our key centers.
The communication also helped
drive brand imagery parameters,
pushing them into double digits.
PHASE III: The 14 day campaign was
a completely organic continuation of
the campaign.
Organic impressions for the
campaign on Twitter crossed 5,500.

Observations
Humour is always a nice and effective
way to attract engagement. Mentos
wanted to take this humour and add it
with the quirkiness that the brand is
known for. The whole idea of creating
commercials from the point of view of
the interrupted chickens, and creating
conversations through handles run
by the chickens on Twitter took this
engagement a notch higher.
It just goes to show that a mix of quirk,
wit, humour, and not to forget, brand
philosophy, always does the trick.

Westside #StoreAlone
How Hansa Cequitys #StoreAlone
Campaign For Westside Saw A 29% Rise

The Client
Westside is the department store
business from Trent Ltd, a Tata
Group Enterprise with 85 stores
across 50 cities. Clubwest, the loyalty
program of Westside, was launched
in 2001 with the primary intent
to increase customer satisfaction
and engagement through relevant
marketing programs. To date,

The Agency
Hansa Cequity With a data-driven
138

marketing thinking and strategy, we


help companies build intelligent,
intuitive and real-time customer
relationships. We enable this by
leveraging the power of technology
through proprietary and best-in-class

campaign management and digital
marketing consultants then movein to create meaningful engagement
opportunities in a multi-channel
environment.

Problem Statement
Westsides bi-annual End Of Season
Sale was around the corner.
Westsides aim was to get their
existing Clubwest shoppers back to
the store during the sale season. It
was noticed that people shopping at
the store during the sale complained
about crowded stores, long queues at
the trial room, garments going out of
stock, and several other issues due to
the sales popularity. Westside aimed
to changed this mindset and give its
loyal fans a great in-store experience
during the sale.

Identified Objectives
Westside Stores wanted to make the
End of Season Sale a memorable
one for some of its loyal Clubwest
members. Westside also wanted
to let their social media followers
know about the sale, thus eventually
increasing footfalls at the store,
not just of Clubwest but also Non
Clubwest members.

The Strategy
The Target Audience
Clubwest members who have
shopped in the previous sale season.
Clubwest members who have
shopped in the past 6 months.
People from the age group of 22 to
45 years who have shown interest in
shopping.
The Big Idea
139

To make the hysterical and overcrowded sale-time shopping


experience a comfortable one for its
loyal fans, Westside did something
really special. Westside created
an opportunity where its lucky
customers could Shop Like A Boss at
the End Of Season Sale. For the first
time in India, 5 lucky customers were
given a chance to shop at a Westside
store, all alone.
The activity
The activity was conducted on
social media platforms, where both
Clubwest and Non Clubwest members
were asked what theyd do if they
were given a chance to shop in an
empty Westside store. This audience
was reached via power-targeted
Facebook advertisements, targeting
especially the Clubwest base and was
asked to participate in the activity by
commenting on the posts.
The most interesting and wittiest
responses were short-listed and 5
lucky winners were given a chance
to shop before anyone else, each
individually, at a Westside store
nearest to them. 3 out of the 5
winners selected were Clubwest
members.
Platforms we chose: Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, In-Store

The Frooti Life


How Digitas LBis Digital Induction Of The
Frooti Life Led To 32.2M Impressions

The Client
Frooti is one of the oldest and largestselling mango flavoured drinks in
India. After sticking to the same
packaging since the brand first
started in 1985, it was time for this
legendary mango drink to refresh
its packaging, and maybe the whole
country as well. Keeping that in mind,
Frooti introduced an all new look and
established #TheFrootiLife a magical
and surreal world, where amazing
141

things happen.

The Agency
Over the past 6 years, DigitasLBi
has focused on helping our clients
transform their business for the
digital age. We have evolved the
clients businesses through solutions
that arise from business expertise and
understanding of the digital space;
by delivering a long term perspective
and measurable results.
lighthouseinsights.in

Problem Statement
Frooti renewed its positioning,
changed its packaging, and we had
to take this new look & feel of the
product to the digital audience.
To live on social and digital media,
the brand needed to tweak its tone of
voice, make it more cheeky and witty.
And it was important to straddle a
delicate line where it never came of
us patronizing or over-smart.

Identified Objectives
Create curiosity around the new
look and feel of the brand and also
generate conversations around the
change.
Induct the audience into the new
brand proposition of The Frooti
Life.

The Strategy
The new Frooti views itself as a brand
that is innocently naughty. The new
campaign is
a peek into
this separate
world where
magical
and surreal
things can
occur, which
we call The
Frooti Life.
This highly stylised world is shown
through our TVC and our campaign
which brings in miniatures that
interact with the larger-than-life
Frooti packaging and mangoes.
142

The main platform for conversations


was Twitter where we needed to get
people to see the world that the brand
was trying to creare. With the help of
social listening, we engaged in realtime conversations by responding
to them with statements in our tone
of voice using relevant (well, in our
world) accompanying visuals from
the new design language. With some
study of peoples profiles and tweets,
we wanted to show how the brand
was cued in to their passions, so they
could associate with the brand as they
had done before.
Influencers played a big role, as their
conversations were leveraged to show
how exciting The Frooti Life can be.
We also rode on current trends and
tactical conversations to give people a
peek into the new tone and the whole
worlds of The Frooti Life.
This helped us segue into the second
phase, where we wished to show
Frooti as the same, playful brand
but with edgier humour. So, we
executed a campaign with the aim of
turning peoples day around. How?
Anyone with
a bad mood,
off morning,
or the plain
old blues was
welcomed to
The Frooti
Life with
open arms. A
crate of Frooti
with personalised messages saw
many craving a taste, some sending
The Frooti Life to their grumpy
friends, and others hogging it all for
themselves.

Each tweet, response, and message


that went up via Frooti was crafted
in a way that established the tone of
voice for the brand witty, cheeky,
irreverent, and knows how to have
fun.

Click to activate GIF

Results
The campaign had an amazing
response and this saw it achieve
an estimated reach of 32.2 million
impressions from 6,780 mentions by
4,330 users apart from TV and PR
driving additional conversations.

Observations
The brand not only delivered quality
over quantity conversations, but
also reached out to the right kind
of people. More importantly, by the
end of the campaign, it got everyone
talking about it to talk highly about it.

Problem Statement
Sumit Sambhal Lega is an adaptation
of an American TV series, Everybody
Loves Raymond. Therefore, pushing
the content on digital was quite
challenging.
The campaign could have resulted in
misogyny as show revolved around
the ladies of the house being against
Sumit. The shows DNA was humour
and special interest had to be given to
not make the digital campaign mencentric.
Ensuring the content will fetch in
chunks of interesting conversations
and digital media impressions.
Sumit Sambhal Lega had strong
competitors like, Meri Aashiqui Tum
Se Hi and Comedy Classes. Hence,
managing to pull this campaign on
digital was a taxing task while having
such good shows on the same time

of men-centric humorous content

audience.

Havmor as a brand symbolizes of


having more of everything, hence
we sought out to create a platform,
where the youth audience could
engage with the brand and can have
more fun. Dubsmash was the new
rage after selfies all over the globe.

Identified Objectives

We decided to leverage the appeal


that Friendship day has with our
audience by marrying Friendship

We identified and created content
that the youth could identify with:
Famous movie dialogues
Tongue twisters
Timeless sitcom moments
We asked users to choose any

channel Have More Fun and submit
their entry with a unique hashtag
#HavmorFunnWithFriends across
our social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Users could also visit our microsite/
Facebook tab to view various dubs
which were auto collected through
Twitter and Instagram together in a
common gallery.
The #HavmorFunnWithFriends
campaign not only allowed the users
to have fun but also created social
circle within the Havmor community
page.

Results
With 300+ Dubsmash entries, users
had maximum fun with friends.
More than 400+ followers on
Twitter and 128 followers
increased on Instagram.
The hashtag
#HavmorFunnWithDubsmash
took Twitter by storm and trended
nationwide for 4 hours.

The campaign was able to bring


the true fun of the friendship by
creating 500k+ impressions on
Social Media.
Digital News Portals like Social
Samosa covered the campaign and
it was also rated as one of the best
campaigns of Diwali.

Observations
Requesting photographs, images
are a pass; users like to experiment
with new platforms. Dubsmash as a
platform worked for us as it let the
users innovate and had the fun element
associated with it.
Cross platform usage is the key to
building an effective social campaign.

September to November is the

with Ganesh Chaturti, going into
Durga Puja, Navratri, Karwa Chauth,
Dussehra and finally culminating
with the festival of lights, Diwali. The
competition for maximum Share of

owning the lions share of spending
and conversations. Kurkure is known
for making life and festivals Chatpata,

challenging this behavior by asking
users WhysoSweet? and asking
people to be themselves and be

The Strategy
To amplify the proposition of

Kurkure looked not just at the
behavior of consumers during this
period but also at the pre-dominant
