the navigator
Starting my voyage from TBWA, traveling through Bates and Dahr & Hoon, I joined
apppl crew to enjoy what I do the best i.e. planning, creative and strategizing for
companies and brands. Electrolux, Kelvinator, Birla Yamaha, Sony, Samsonite, Birla
Delonghi, Osh Kosh B'gosh, Hyundai Automobiles, Indian Airlines, Dabur, Hieneken
Beer, Dr. Morepen, Unicef, Helpage India, Sony Audio, Aiwa, Autodesk,
Snapdeal.com and GPI have been a rewarding experience. Distinctive were Nokia
mobile phones and Carrier air conditioners for Bates, for which many landmark
campaigns were initiated and launched by me. All of our major clients are not just
happy with the quality work and business, but also share many glorious moments of
many advertising awards. The journey has been very challenging and even more
satisfying as each of the challenges were met with suited and satisfying solutions.
The voyage continues in search for more and more such challenges...

Market Conditions and expectations
in sports footwear and apparels. Yet this was limited in its reach to most of the
upper crest SEC B and SEC A in India. Reaching out to majority of Indian customer
base was a challenge. For this, a new range of product line was introduced at a
lower price point to increase the customer base.
Product Line: Nike Launched Jogger series, technically a non-sports footwear that
had PU soles and stylish uppers in many SKUs to match and catch the imagination of
an average Indian. The tasks was to keep the brand equity untouched or rather
upped and still convey that Nike Joggers are affordable
Solution: This campaign hit the market at the time of Cricket World Cup. We chose
Shane Warne for the campaign. Initial set of creative showcased Nike Joggers along
with other high-end sports shoes by Nike. At the second stage we gradually shifted
focus to Nike Joggers as the sole hero of the campaign .This campaign was successfulenough to make Nike Joggers independent of any need for the brand ambassador.
Now it is an established product line from Nike in India.

Market Conditions and expectations
portal in India. Yet at the time of launch company was not sure how people would
react to it. Though Indian consumer is very price sensitive but they are not as much
new media savvy as many of their counterparts. The expectation was to educate,
encourage and light the fire of buying discount deals on the lifestyle services that
they regularly avail and aspired to avail.
Product / services Line: Daily deals on lifestyle services
Solution: on analyzing the TG and their different behavioral pattern, needs and
aspirations, this campaign was run through different steps keeping investments in
check. Apart from the online campaign, the Radio FM campaign in each city focused
on promoting the local deal for that city each day with a new jingle/spot everyday.
TV campaign was deputed with the task of spreading the awareness and establishing
the brand name. Selection of Radio FM Stations and TV channels was a judicious mix
to reach the right balance of SEC A and SEC B. For Sec A it was projected as an
‘essential to have’ in their lifestyle where as to SEC B it was projected as a desire
which was till now out of their budget. Each TV and Radio channels had specific
content, FCT and integration to meet the objective. Within four months of this
campaign, Snapdeal.com climbed the Alexa Indian ranking from 90s to 20s, way
ahead of most of the established big brands of the industry. Today its synonymous
with discount deals on lifestyle services.

Market Conditions and expectations:
they didn't know what to expect. All Sports Bar, a national chain of Sports Bars
across the country had a unique task to set the expectations right and leverage the
advantage of being the first mover. Innovation and development of the
product/services line was on the card along with agenda to get regular footfall even
on non match days. Meaning of sports was to be enlarged enveloping more sports
than just cricket, as cricket was the only sport of interest for long, in India.
Product / services Line: National Chain of Sports Bar
Solution: with the advantage of us being associated with the brand right since the
time of inception, the brand personality was drawn out to be that of Sports
Entertainment at a bar, mixing the right balance of sports, entertainment and
glamour. Innovation of services and offers that could keep the excitement around
the brand alive, were woven in. Unconventional opportunities were created to
generate revenue through items like branded menu, uniform, display areas by
outside brands and extended viewer-ship platforms with leading telecast partners of
sports events. Multi-layer marketing plans were enforced to reduce dependability on
expensive mass media. Taking the success to the next level, a new brand “All Sports”
was created to encompass many related functional areas of interest like Sports
Clubs, Talent Management, Publication, Talent Hunt and development etc. In short, a
success story unmatched.

Market Conditions and expectations:
had changed hands from Hyatt and soon after had an unfortunate incident of fire at
the hotel. It not only damaged the hotel but also the reputation and the
brand name of the hotel
Product / Services Line: Luxury Hotel
Solution: Keeping in consideration that this is possibly one of the best hotel
properties in northern India, the potential was and will always be great. As
ownership had change and due to fire the hotel, it was going through a major
renovation, we recommended change of logo along with the brand personality and
positioning of the hotel. Post which, in creative planning we judiciously decided the
potential customer base and their expectations, along with what we would have
liked to have been highlighted. A new set of creative campaigns were developed
translating the marketing strategy, and were released through select premium
business and airlines’s business class exposure channels. F&B outlets of The Grand
were treated separately and were promoted locally,
in New Delhi to attract the right TG.

Market Conditions and expectations:
imparted to students at their collages or at the organization they work for. This is
done by specialist team from Autodesk under their B2B operation. Whereas in the
retail there were many unauthorized centers training people in Autodesk and giving
unauthorized certification, This was not only hampering the Company image but
was also eating in the revenue that Autodesk could have earned. Autodesk India
stepped-up its Training and Certification Centers through its chain of franchisee and
the task was to educate TG and Trade on Authorised Training and Certification
Centers governed by Autodesk, imparting international standards and promises.
Product / Services Line: Software Training and Certification
Solution: knowing that this objective had a very specific TG, we decidedly chose the
mood and tone of the campaign to be very international, breaking away and above
the standards shown by the unauthorized training centers’ communication. Select IT
publications and other online mediums were chosen to spread the awareness. This
was a dual purpose communication inviting students to enroll and encouraging the
businesses to open an authorized Training and Certification Center. In close
succession we suggested and launched “get a friend along” scheme and the
combined impact of this three month long campaign saw “Indian chapter of
Autodesk Training & Certification” growing by more than 100%, one of the highest
growth rates in the world amongst all the participating countries.
