Dear Friends,
Greetings! It’s great to make that mid-year connect. A time to happily rewind what has been achieved and also a time to look forward to bigger achievements in the rest of the year. Join us as we take a happy journey through Dream Zone, i-Flo, Indian Bank and our social awareness campaigns for KKT, EMRI 108 and Dhillu Dura. In BAY, we look at how changing a logo can make a refreshing difference to any brand.
Yours sincerely,
M.Nachiappan |

EMRI 108 Campaign Posts Exceptional Results
A post-campaign analysis of the EMRI 108 mass media campaign in Tamil Nadu has brought plenty of cheer. It has proved a clear winner and here’s the proof! Statistics from EMRI confirm the reach and effect. After the campaign, there has been an increase of 13% in emergency medical calls and a drastic reduction in fake calls. The average calls per day grew 50% post the campaign.
This proves that the communication in the Voiceover “ Thevayatra call galai Thavirpom, Ambulancekku vazhi viduvom” has had a good reach in the minds of the masses.

Campaigns with a Cause!
N&D has been buzzing with social
campaigns too! Here’s a look!
The Kalaignar Kaapittu Thittam was a resounding success and the initial
ad campaign contributed to building
awareness. Post-this, the new campaign showed the beneficiaries and touched hearts with a little girl. Feel her happiness now!
The EMRI 108 was another pulsating campaign that created awareness about the emergency service. It used visual markers to spread the message that this was available at various towns and cities in Tamil Nadu.

Why should you change your logo?
The logo is the face of your brand and most companies have poured lakhs of rupees in promoting it on their
communication material. However,
a change in logo can infuse new life into
a brand.
Some of the most iconic brands like Pepsi, Coke, Adidas, IBM, Nokia, BMW and others have undergone many iterations across the years and survived as long-lasting brands. For instance, Apple’s original logo was a pen and ink |

drawing of Newton sitting under a tree and it was later changed into a half-bitten apple.
Closer home, Indian companies like
Videocon, Wipro, Canara Bank, Repco Homes, TVS, Bajaj, TATA, Mahindra have changed their logos many times according to their focus at the given

time. Changing a logo will not necessarily increase your overheads, in many cases it results in huge savings. For instance Fed Ex – after changing their logo from the original Federal Express saved millions on painting the new name since it was shorter.
The cost savings apart, a well executed logo redesign can help a company project a new image as a forward thinking company. It repositions the company’s brand in the mind of customers and is a reflection of the company’s new business focus or direction. It also attracts new prospects and can increase business. Therefore, it makes sound business sense to change the logo.

Dream Zone Ignites Dreams!
Dream Zone offers a wide range of
creative careers like interior design,
fashion design and animation and this needed to be promoted differently. The concept of a dream was conveyed
powerfully through a peppy music video style jingle. A girl sits at her desk
dreaming and we travel through her dream where she soars on the wings of
creativity, sails on a boat, lies on the beach daydreaming and more. A boy with design books dreams of a future in the field. It ends with the super of the
various characters in the film saying ‘Verum dream illa, Career Dream’. This is on air now in all the music channels across India and has caught up with the youth.
