Kolkata : Saffola’s
latest print ad campaign jolted readers from their usual morning routine with
an oil-stained front page of multiple newspapers, across the country. With their consistent efforts
Saffola continues to inspire individuals with the conversation initiated on the
last ‘World Heart Day’ - promoting good heart health and a healthy lifestyle by
taking #RozKaHealthyStep.
Designed to serve as a wake-up call to emphasize the fact that health is
not built in a single day, the front-page creative features a striking image
of a handful of pakoras (fritters), lined with oil stains, placed over the news,
and talks about going beyond just World
Health Day to building consistency by taking #RozKaHealthyStep for better
health and well-being.
The
intention was to evoke a familiar memory shared by many: the guilty pleasure of
indulging in street-side bhajiyas served on a newspaper. This imagery serves to
drive the message on how easily resolutions to eat healthy on World Health Day
and similar occasions are forgotten as we go back to unhealthy food habits soon
after. Therefore, instead of solely focusing on specific occasions or events,
it aims to encourage individuals to prioritize cultivating healthy habits every
day. The message struck a chord with the readers, starting interesting
conversations across social media platforms.
Speaking about the
campaign, Somasree Bose Awasthi, Chief Marketing Officer, Marico Limited
said, “Following through on health resolutions can be very challenging. Our
goal is to help the consumer walk this journey of building a consistently
healthy lifestyle, every day. We took the unusual route of taking the message
live after World Health Day, instead of on the day, catching readers in the
moment and reminding them of how resolutions made on key occasions are
forgotten soon after. By reaching our valued consumers where they are highly
engaged and reminding them to choose Roz Ka Healthy Step every day, we are
committed to ensuring they don’t fall off the health-wagon.”
Ram Jayaraman,
Chief Creative Officer (CCO), Mullen Lintas said,
“Sometimes, the best contextual/topical ad is one that’s intentionally off by a
few days. As Saffola believes that good health is built over time, we
deliberately stayed quiet on that single day dedicated to health, World Health
Day. We released our creative a few days later to remind people that real
victory lies in sustained, consistent actions. And in today’s digital-first
world, it is deliciously contrarian to see the good ol’ newspaper pull
something off that only it can.”
Jolene Solanki,
COO, Madison Media Ultra shares, “Change typically occurs when
conversations are triggered. Saffola’s journey of nudging the consumer to take
#RozKaHealthyStep is an ongoing journey, however it was important to not just
nudge the consumer but to pull attention to how health takes a back seat in our
lives. This campaign is an excellent example of how the right blend of creative
and medium, can deliver the message contextually and with impact, leading to
larger conversations amongst the target audience.”
The brand is committed
to continuing this conversation, using various mediums and platforms through
the year with the aim to raise awareness and guide consumers in adopting
simple, everyday habits for a healthier lifestyle.
