Snapdeal puts its most fashionable foot forward; launches 5 new ads
McCann WorldGroup creates five new ads to further the 'Unbox Zindagi' idea.
With a fresh set of five 40-seconders, created by McCann WorldGroup, Snapdeal furthers its 'Unbox Zindagi' thought. The familiar 'Unbox Zindagi' jingle, composed by Ehsan and Loy, accompanies all five ads.
The ads feature men and women of different ages at varying life stages, namely, the post-delivery 'getting back into shape' phase, the cusp of entrepreneurship, the girl-to-woman stage, the post-break up phase, and the classic one that's been providing slice-of-life fodder to Indian admen and women for decades - marriage.
Here's a look at the Snapdeal's previous campaigns.
Industry Speak
We asked the experts, "As compared to the previous bout of Snapdeal's 'Unbox Zindagi' ads, where do these stand?"
"I love the films as they really portray the unconventional ways of millennials today. To me, 'Unbox' is gaining its real meaning. I have always applauded the idea from the time they launched the red box," Sridhar adds.
According Ayan Banik, head brand strategy, Cheil India, Snapdeal has used a very refreshing way to sell an extremely overused category - e-commerce fashion, and a peppy soundtrack with an upbeat mood and exuberant faces just add to the festivity around wearing new clothes.
"The good thing is the way a fashion proposition has been created out of a strong cultural insight, which is wearing new clothes. It is aptly captured through different films - marriage, startup, first-day in college or even getting back in shape post pregnancy. That's a refreshing way of selling fashion in the day and age of e-commerce, where due to round-the-year sales and discounts we actually take new clothes for granted and don't attach much special treatment to them. So, the shift is really interesting from 'jab mann kiya pehan liya' to new beginnings in life deserve new clothes," Banik says.
He however feels that the campaign is very close to Cadbury's 'Shubh Arambh'. "One can't help but think of the similarity between 'start something new on a sweet note' and 'start something new with new clothes' - both working on the cultural insight of auguring auspiciousness," he says.
