Anchor by Panasonic Launches New Ad Campaign

Anchor Electrical market leader in switches expanding into new segments like lighting and fans. Panasonic Corporation acquired Anchor Electrical in 2007. Due to this Anchor brand becomes a sub-brand of Panasonic and called as Anchor by Panasonic.
Anchor recently launched a new ad campaign titled as “Naye India Ke Badhte Load Ke Liye” which stresses the need of new age electrical appliances. When your home is packed with hi-tech electrical devices it is necessary to have quality wiring and MCB switches to protect the home from fire. The ad starts with showing an electric grill with coil heating, a man prepares barbecue chicken. When he was serving the kebabs to the guest there was a sound of burning in the background and the video shows short circuit due to excessive load of the barbecue grill. The film cuts to a sequence showing the durability and technology of the Anchor by Panasonic wires.

Bisleri New Ad Campaign – All packed water is not Bisleri…

I remember last year Bisleri’s Chairman Ramesh Chauhan in his interview mentioned that Bisleri water does not need any ads (Economic Times, 2017). Recently Bisleri launched an ad campaign which highlights that all packed water is not Bisleri ‘Har Paani Ki Bottle Bisleri Nahin’. The ad campaign shows two camels walking towards a shop in middle of hot desert. They ask for two bottles of Bisleri but shopkeeper hands two other brands of bottled water. THe camels drinks it and spit it on the shop keeper face telling him they are not donkeys. Then shop keeper hands over the Bisleri water and camels happily drinks the water. The brand try to highlight that every packed water is not as good as Bisleri.

The Bisleri was started by Signor Felice Bisleri who first brought the idea of selling bottled water in India in the year 1965. The Bisleri mineral water was then sold to India’s Parle in 1969. The Bisleri holds around 24% (Livemint, 2017) value share. Bisleri is planning to double its revenue from the current Rs1,500 crore (as of March 2017) to Rs3,000 crore by FY2020. This ad campaign may help them to regain their lost market share in this competitive market.
