TVC & OOH
ATL

Our focus is on showcasing the natural elements in our AURO Oil, starting from a dawn over a field of sunflowers, a natural and
healthy visual. Sourcing of oil seeds to the oil mills, and from there to a healthy and active modern family placed in a beautiful
countryside environment.

Initially for a year or two, our main focus would be to establish the brand on the above mentioned points, so as to get the attention
of the audience over pure and healthy aspects of AURO Cooking Oil.

However, later we would shift our focus on a story based quarterly commercial so as to grip in the main customer i.e.
homemakers. To rather have a connection with the audience, provided the fame of soaps and drama on the traditional media.

BTL

Our OOH strategy would depict visuals of a healthy cooking. It would also emphasize on our pricing within a family budget . A
teaser campaign can also be considered with the same visuals.
