Enterprise Nexus bags Toshiba televisions

Following a multi-agency pitch, Enterprise Nexus, Mumbai, has bagged the creative duties for Toshiba televisions. The incumbent agency was Quadrant.

The media duties will be handled in-house by Toshiba India.

Confirming this development to agencyfaqs!, Sunil Tandon, vice-president, marketing, Kentosh India, says, “Enterprise Nexus’ creative presentation was clearly in line with our marketing objectives. We want to position Toshiba as a high-end brand, which was captured well by the agency in their creative strategy.”

According to Tandon, the company plans to spend around Rs 12-14 crore annually on the brand.

Toshiba, the brand owned by the Tokyo-based Toshiba Corporation, is being marketed in India by Kentosh India. The brand has had a presence in India since 1985.

The Toshiba television product range includes new-age colour television sets such as plasma televisions, projection televisions and high-end flat-screen televisions.

Anil Sanjeevan, executive director, Enterprise Nexus, Mumbai, says, “We projected an in-depth insight into and understanding of the issues related to high-end television sets, especially in terms of the new drivers of purchase among the upper SECs.”

“In addition, nowadays, more and more middle-class consumers are aspiring to upgrade their lifestyle and the products they buy. We plan to reposition Toshiba as a brand that caters to such aspirational groups,” Sanjeevan adds.

For the new campaign, the agency will use press, outdoor, TVCs and, possibly, radio. There will also be a strong emphasis on below-the-line activities such as in-shop displays and branding initiatives, promotional schemes and other consumer promotions.
