Cadbury touches hearts with its lonely maa ad

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtLlfvek0Vs

Cadbury lately came out with its new TVC “Lonely Maa” for the festive season. Cadbury which has always tried to associate itself with the “Celebrations” in the life of the Indian consumer has done a brilliant job of communicating this message.

The ad begins with an old woman walking into a room. The voice of her son who has gone away from her for a job, talking to her plays in the background, while she tries to with great effort operate a personal computer and browse the internet. She follows a set of hand written instructions and tries to log on to Facebook. Meanwhile, in the background her son tells her about his promotion and how his life has become very busy but he still manages to stay in touch with his friends virtually. He wishes them on their birthday and sends them Diwali greetings on Facebook only. The woman finally frustrated with her unsuccessful efforts gives up trying to logon to Facebook. The ad then ends with a voice over saying ” She is your mother, not your friend. Meet her personally this Diwali with a pack of Cadbury Celebrations”

Reeflex by Reebok

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEpVAw6Kro8

Here’s a lesson on how to design a product and then how to market it. Reebok gets it spot on with its marketing of Reeflex –  its new shock absorber shoes.

The shoes have 76 rubber shock absorbers which give you absolute flexibility. Although the Reezig was good as a product, i feel Reeflex will attract even higher attention because of its unique design. Reeflex has both things going for it, its product design and its looks. The main thing now is the pricing. Knowing Reeboks marketing strategy, we can be sure that the Reeflex will be priced quite high. However, with such a product, shoe enthusiasts will definitely be ready to purchase.

Tata Docomo receives flak for its poor ads

Well, Tata docomo seriously has some bad choices in the ads it has made. First they were received poorly because they did not attract the markets at all and were too bland in face of competition from Vodafone and Airtel.

Then vodafone came out with the stand up comedy ads of Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor gave his best short but even he could not put any spice in the ads. I hardly laughed for any of it.

And now finally to grab attention, Tata docomo came out with 13 different short ads each of which targets on the mobiles network availibility. The tagline being “No getting away”. The objective of the series was proper as people are not aware of the network capabilities of Tata Docomo. But the way the ads were implemented is really bad. Here are two ads of Tata Docomo.
