Dear Friends,
Wishing you a very Happy & Prosperous New Year & Pongal! As we are being transformed into an information-driven society, a growing trend in advertising is that the stress on the quality of content is increasing. The plain vanilla feel-good ads are giving way to information-rich capsules as consumers turn more
discerning. This is a trend that is showing up in our creatives as well. Prime examples from our last quarter are the CADD Success Secret Campaign, Power TVCs, CeMonc commercials and Coconut promotion ads. The common thread that runs through these is that beyond the visual beauty and technical finesse, they have a base of strong informative value.
Warm Regards,
M.Nachiappan

Pester Power Whips up Froth!
Today’s children play an important role in the family’s purchase decisions. They not only have their own purchasing power, they influence their parents' buying decisions and are the adult consumers of the future. This inspired Nature Power Beauty Soap to launch a series of TV commercials that featured kids. The first ad featured a quiz show where a quiz master asks questions about Power Soap and the participants answer elaborating the benefits of the soap that include keeping skin soft, healthy, a good TFM quotient and more. The second TV commercial promoted Nature Power Papaya Aura on basis of the price point for 75 gms. Both TVCs end with the pack shot of the soap variants. These have been released in all the South Indian states in the respective languages.

Going Coconut Crazy!
The coconut is one of the greatest gifts to human beings as every part of it is nutritious and brims with good health. The Tamilnadu Coconut Farmers Welfare Board (TNCFWB) assigned N&D to promote this healthy, natural fruit across Tamilnadu. N&D developed a unique logo featuring a coconut palm and a large tender coconut with the benevolent sun above. This simple yet powerful visual in red, green and yellow built powerful brand recall. The crafting of the logo was followed by the development of a press ad campaign in English and Tamil which elaborated the benefits of consuming this wonder fruit. This has pushed up the popularity levels of this fruit.

The Importance of Corporate Branding
The value of corporate branding in a TV commercial can never be stressed enough. With respect to brand promotion in a TVC, this refers to the final appearance of the corporate identity on screen, usually with special effects and theme music. This is the prime takeaway for the viewer and the point of corporate brand recall. |

The few seconds that it takes makes a major impact on the mind and leads to strong corporate brand recall.
Corporate branding can equip any new product or service in different verticals with an instant credibility and value, this cannot be reproduced with any sort of |

|
|
|
|
|
|
product focused marketing effort. No matter how many brand variants there are, what’s important is that the TVC ends with the corporate identity.
This streamlines the marketing efforts and gives a unified reach that’s larger. It also stretches the budget for maximum gain.
One of the prime examples is the Power Soap TVCs. Though Power has a large bouquet of verticals like health, hygiene, beauty, beverages and so on, the end card always reflects the corporate branding. |

CeMonc (Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric & Neonatal Care) an initiative of the Tamilnadu Government offers free care to pregnant mothers from underprivileged families. N&D was assigned the task of developing TV commercials to create awareness of these free schemes. The treatment was realistic and the TVCs showed real situations that the TG could relate to. The first showed a mother-in-law happily sharing that her daughter-in-law and her newborn were healthy thanks to the

regular visits to CeMonc. The bg shows the mother carrying the baby. Besides the awareness created, it also had a sentimental touch that won the hearts of audiences.
The second commercial opens with a farm labourer in the field when the father-in-law meets him wanting to take his pregnant daughter home to his village as there are better medical
facilities. At this, the son-in-law assures him that CeMonc is available and she is already visiting them regularly.
