#StayStrongMoms, ITC Sunfeast Mom’s Magic
As the nation battled an unprecedented pandemic and lockdown, consumer behaviour saw an immediate shift. This change was observed by our Sunfeast Mom’s Magic team and analysed from the perspective of its primary audience- Indian moms. Realising the gaps that existed and the need to celebrate Indian moms for all their hard work, the #StayStrongMoms campaign was created.
With the idea to reach virtually reach out to moms and ensure their happiness & wellbeing, a 40 day National Campaign was launched and deployed in 5 distinct phases: Cheer | Enable | Inspire | Dedicate | Support.
As screen time shot up and the need to be entertained reached an all-time high, #StayStrongMoms tapped into various virtual platforms to help, support, entertain and spread its message of love. Not only was the campaign a sentimental success, but it also saw many tangible benefits:
APL Apollo World Microsite
India’s largest manufacturer of ERW steel pipes and tubes, APL Apollo is a widely popular brand but continued to face problems when it came to brand and product recognition. Despite a successfully launched TVC starring superstar Amitabh Bachan, the problems continued to persist.
The APL Apollo team worked to identify the source of the problem and conducted in-depth ground research. Armed with the knowledge of macro-animation, the team got to work on an interactive microsite to spread the message of APL Apollo’s products and usage.
Set up in a mere 30 days, the interactive microsite featured the layout of a city- including but not limited to – malls, schools, hospitals, bridges, airports etc. By clicking on these individual buildings, one could get a detailed insight into how APL Apollo contributed to its construction. From the products to how they make the building more durable and stronger – one could get all the information in a single click.
The many efforts paid off as the website saw tangible results:
