TAFE Tractors appoints Maitri Advertising Works for its new product

The product will be advertised in Tamil Nadu initially. Later on, the communication will spread to Andhra Pradesh. The estimated advertising spend is in the range of Rs 2.5-3 crore

TAFE tractors has appointed Maitri Advertising Works, Chennai, to advertise its new product, MF 5245 di Planetary. The pitch for the business took place around two months ago. The media duties for the business are managed in-house by the client. The estimated advertising spends are in the region of Rs 2.5-3 crore.

Commenting on the development, Vineet Joshi, deputy manager, strategic marketing, TAFE, says, 'Whenever there is a new model in the market, it is compared to its predecessors and competitors with respect to its technical specifications. Therefore, the communication for most tractor products tends to be a bit technical. Maitri suggested ways by which we could form an emotional connect with the farmer, keeping in mind the technicalities.'
