~spread across digital, outdoor,
print and other platforms, campaign focuses on Engagement and Awareness~
Breaking the traditional advertising norm in the banking
space, DBS Bank India, a part of Asia’s foremost financial services group,
today launched the industry’s first love story – Chilli Paneer.
In an attempt
to engage with the consumers and build brand awareness, DBS Bank rolls out an innovative
campaign where the story of Chilli Paneer will unfold every Friday at 11am on
www.chillipaneerfilm.com.
Being
true to the bank values, the story revolves around purpose, relationship and
connectivity.
DBS Bank’s Chilli Paneer starring Tilottama Shome and directed
by National Award-winning director, Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, is a story about
food, love, dreams and the seamless integration of banking into our lives.
Speaking at the launch of the campaign, Ms. Sheran Mehra, Head – Group Strategic Marketing & Communications
at DBS Bank India, said, “At DBS Bank
we constantly strive to innovate and take an ‘outside-in’ view. It all started
with following the chatters. This led us to discover that food, travel, cricket,
bollywood to name a few are instant conversation starters. Food, emerged as the
most popular choice, as it cuts across geographies & segments. We further included
elements of bollywood and integrated our products and services in the story
line.”
Chilli Paneer is an interesting and novel approach whereby DBS
Bank attempts to be a part of the consumers’ day to day conversations.
Speaking on behalf of 4nought4 (a digital agency of CartWheel
Creative Consultancy), Manik Choudhary, Co-Founder
at 4nought4 said, “Very rarely does
one see a client who takes this approach. Interestingly the brief was to work
beyond a traditional television launch campaign. The push-back was always to
find brand relevance in consumer space. Chilli Paneer is not just about a product
or a service. It’s a story of two people who discover their purpose in life and
how the bank acts as an enabler.”
Led by the
Digital medium the film is hosted on www.chillipaneerfilm.com
the campaign is spread across 4 weeks
and supported by print, radio and outdoor on-ground activities.
