INTRODUCTION: -
Axis Bank began its operations in 1994 after the Government allowed new private banks
and was also the first one to do so. Positioning itself as a modern day bank that drives life,
Axis Bank is one of Indias earliest private sector banks. It does have a negative past
when it was known as UTI Bank. Lets see how the present perception is post the re-
branding.
With presence on all the 4 major social media platforms
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Linkedin Axis Bank is trying its best to maximize its
reach. However, having a presence everywhere does not ensure that your brand is doing
good on social media. In fact, Axis Banks overall social media outlook looks pretty
disappointing to me. Agreed that BFSI segment gets less traction but being overtly self-
promotional and repetitive makes it much worse. Axis Bank seems to be doing the same
thing . Instead of using their Facebook Page as a community and conversing with its fans,
it has turned on the microphones and has started the same one-way communication
pattern that brands have been following since the radio/TV era . Averaging 2 updates
daily, they have no interactive updates. Most of them are about their products and
services.
HISTORY:-
UTI Bank opened its registered office in Ahmedabad and corporate office in Mumbai in
December 1993. The first branch was inaugurated on 2 April 1994 in Ahmedabad by Dr.

perceived by many customers in the form of place of delivery- locational appeal,
interiors, ambience, etc. If a bank is located in a crowded market the place or location will
be a negative tangibilizes. Providing excellent tangibles in the form of place or location

THE NEW LOGO OF AXIS BANK:
The logo depicts a strong growth path for the bank supported by a strong
base, indicating that the bank is moving on from a position of strength.
The new name Axis was chosen considering the banks pan-Indian as
well as international presence.
The first time that a bank has dropped an unknown name.
The name Axis is chosen as it is simple and it conveys a sense of
solidity and a sense of maturity. It also has a universal appeal.
THE 3 MAIN REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF NAME FROM

UTI TO AXIS:

1. They had to give up the UTI name after using it for 13 years as they were not
prepared to accept terms and conditions (including royalty) from UTI AMC.
2. THE RECOMMENDATION FOR NAME CHANGE TO Axis bank has arisen

from the existence of several shareholder-unrelated entities using the UTI brand,
and the consequent brand confusion that this generates.
3. The name UTI bank was changed to Axis bank as UTI gave a look of government
sector ban. They had to change their name to have their own brand and identity.
THE NEW NAME AXIS:

REBRANDING EXERCISE:
The name was taken into effect consequent to the approval of shareholders,
Reserve Bank of India and the central government (Registrar of Companies)
The UTI brand is owned by UTI Asset Management Company.
The bank would change logo and colour of logo the bank is likely to spend
around Rs. 50 crore in the rebranding exercise.
The bank acquired the service of Ogilvy & Mather (O & M) to design and
implement the rebranding campaign.
BRAND, ADVERTISING AND MARKETING:
1. Axis Bank shifts media duties to Mediavest Worldwide:

Axis Bank has shifted its media business to Media Vest Worldwide, a part of the Sta.com
Media Vest Group (SMG). Media Vest would handle the business from its Mumbai office.
The account was earlier with Madison Media.
The mandate covers media planning and buying for all Axis Bank campaigns and is
effective 1 August 2012. Industry sources estimate the size of the account to be around
Rs70 crore.
SMG has been strengthening the Media Vest brand across Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore
and will soon announce a few senior management hires, said a statement from the
company.
Confirming this development, Manisha Lath Gupta, chief marketing officer, Axis Bank,
said, While evaluating, we realized SMG has robust planning tools which will help us
integrate across different mediums. With their human experience strategy and approach,
we believe, they are well poised to handle the media challenges lying in front of Axis
Bank for the future.
Malli CR, chief executive officer, SMG India, added, Axis Bank is a blue chip client and
we are honored and delighted to have them on board. They have an exciting brand vision
and we look forward to delivering their goals with SMGs future focused media product
that is predicated on insights and analytics, digital and content."
2. Axis Bank undergoes a change in identity:

Axis Bank has undergone a change in its identity as the bank has moved from its
thought Aapka Solution to Badhti ka Naam Zindagi (progress on). To communicate this
change, the bank has released a new advertising campaign.
The TVC, created by Lowe Lintas, shows different stages of a man's life right from him
getting his first job, to his first cheque, to his promotion, to his wedding and other
important milestones as if it were a film and use a directors language to plot every step.
Arun Iyer, national creative director, Lowe Lintas, added, The brief was about how Axis
Bank wanted to appropriate something like how success is a journey. Movies play a very
big part in our lives, so we used that thought in this film to convey that people go from
one milestone to another, and along the way Axis Bank supports them. Coinciding with
the campaign, Axis Bank has also launched two applications 'Meri Zindagi ka Safar' and
'Meri Zindagi ki Picture' on its Facebook page. 'Meri Zindagi ka Safar' is an application
that lets users mark the places they have travelled to, thus enabling them to find out how
much distance have they covered in these journeys of their life.
The premise to this application is that one enriches their experiences as one travels which
in turn helps people learn and grow and progress in their lives. Whereas, 'Meri Zindagi ki
Picture' is about Life itself. This application lets users compile images memories that
they capture and cherish throughout their lives.
3. Axis Bank unveils new campaign to promote new service:
Axis Bank has unveiled a new campaign to promote its zero prepayment charges service
for Home Loan customers.
The film features a game show winning couple getting ready for an interview at a news
studio. The news anchor compliments the couple on their wins and asks about their plans
of spending the money. As the husband lists out their plans, his wife interrupts and
informs that they will repay their entire home loan. As the news anchor reminds her about
the prepayment charges levied by the bank, the husband consoles his worried wife saying
that they bank with Axis Bank. A voiceover informs about the new service from the bank
which has zero prepayment charges.

CASE STUDY OF AXIS BANK YOUTH ACCOUNT LAUNCH:-

BACKGROUND:
Established in 1993, Axis Bank was one of the few private banks that began its operations
in 1994. Axis bank is the third largest private sector bank and offers a wide portfolio of
financial services. The bank has a wide outreach with more than 1,900 branches and
11,000 ATMs present across the country. The Bank also has its presence overseas with
offices in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Colombo, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi.
CHALLENGE:
Axis Bank wanted to create a desire among the youth for a product they did not want, in a
category they did not relate to and for a brand they did not care about. Considering that
more than half of the countrys population consisted of youth, Axis Bank set its mind to
winning them over. But it was no easy task.
Axis Bank was planning to launch a savings account product for youngsters, with features
like customized card designs, an intuitive mobile app, deals and offers via partner
establishments.
Traditionally, banking has never targeted young consumers; it is something which is

associated with parents and family. Youngsters have little knowledge and no interest in
what a bank has to say. Their view of banks is formed by the numerous sales-calls, trying
to sell them loans/ cards/ insurance, which are usually of no interest to them. They are
usually detached from banking activities. Axis Bank had an uphill task ahead.Whatever
little consideration they had for the category, was reserved for brands like HDFC Bank
and ICICI Bank. Axis Bank as a brand was nowhere in the reckoning in their minds.
ATM OBJECTIVES:-
With the YOUTH savings account launch, the initial business objective was to achieve
100,000 new sign-ups for the Axis Bank Youth Account in six months with a limited
media investment of INR 60,00,000 (Cost in advertising per acquisition = INR 60).

The Big Idea:Its All about YOU! The idea was to create a product that would interact
with the youth in their language:
CUSTOMIZED DEBIT CARDS
Though the concept of customized cards was not new but taking a step ahead, Axis Bank
made the debit card unique, the way youngsters customize their phone-skins and tattoos,
to make sure theirs was one-of-a-kind. With Axis Bank YOUTH account, young
consumers could do the same to their card.
MOBILE APP
For youngsters, a mobile phone is not just a communicating device; it is a constant

companion, entertainer and a lifestyle enabler. Considering the affinity of youth towards
mobile, Axis Bank created a special mobile app, which facilitated banking transactions on
smart-phones. It also allowed them to check their account balance, recharge mobile
phones, transfer money to a friends YOUTH account without visiting a branch.
PULL MONEY FROM PARENTS LINKED AXIS BANK ACCOUNT
With the YOUTH Account, the young customers could pull money from their parents
linked Axis Bank Account using the YOUTH Mobile App. Parents could set a monthly
limit on the amount of money their kid could pull out from their account.
GREAT OFFERS ON THE YOUTH DEBIT CARD
The youth likes to shop smart. The YOUTH Account offered them the best deals at their
favorite hangout destinations that included movies, apparel, mobile recharges.
EXECUTION:-
The youth today is always online. Among all media vehicles, internet is most popular
among them. It has approximately 43% reach in the given target group, which is higher
than that of radio and cinema. Social networking clearly stood out with 95% of the youth
using a social media site at least once every day. The strategy revolved around the
following:
INTRODUCE THE PRODUCT ON DIGITAL-
The product was first introduced to the Axis Bank fan base on Facebook. It highlighted
the key features of the new product in a manner that was different than any of the existing

communication being carried out by the bank both visually and in terms of style of
communicating. This phase lasted for a week before the other elements of the campaign
started to kick in.
ENGAGE WITH CUSTOMERS ON DIGITAL
Go beyond traditional media formats on digital Introduce gamification :
The product needed a campaign to communicate with the target group in an innovative
way. To achieve this, Axis Bank came up with the idea and used gamification in the
financial services industry in India.
CREATING AN INFORMATION DESTINATION
the YOUTH Account Microsite
Axis Bank created a special micro site for the YOUTH account which acted as the
central repository of all information on the product and the campaign. While it looked
completely different from a regular bank website, the brand felt it was essential to
establish a connect with the audience.
Even the manner in which features of the account were communicated borrowed from the
language of the youth.

Pulling money online from their parents account became OMG (Online Money Gets
pulled);
Mobile fund transfers became WTF (Whoever Transfers Funds needs only mobile
numbers);
Card design gallery became GTG (Go To Gallery and design your card); and so on.
CREATE YOUR YOUTH CARD
a Do-It-Yourself Facebook application
The Customize your card feature was brought to life with this Facebook app that
allowed YOU, the user, to design your own card. YOU could upload your favorite picture,
add effects and create your YOUTH Card design. And if YOU wanted that card for real,
all YOU had to do was walk in to the nearest Axis Bank branch with a soft copy of the
same and get the design on your YOUTH Account Debit Card.
Axis Bank partnered with Mood Indigo, a popular college festival, that gave youngsters a
chance to experience the YOUTH Account. Special Wi-Fi enabled YOUTH Account
zones were created. The concept was further extended on ground by taking it to Sir JJ
School of Arts in Mumbai. Here, students from various disciplines were given the
opportunity to showcase their idea of the YOUTH Card. Over 150 students participated.
PROMOTE THE PRODUCT ON DIGITAL-
Axis Bank continued to drive awareness through consistent communication on the Axis
Bank Facebook community and targeted mailers. The media plan delivered over 8.8

million ad impressions and over 76,000 clicks reaching out to a large segment of the
target group.
RESULTS:
The campaign reached a total of over 2.2 million users on Facebook, and generated over
30,000 likes. The sales target was exceeded by 44 percent and the 100,000 milestone was
achieved in just three months.
CASE STUDIES: BRAND AMBASSADOR OF AXIS BANK:
Bollywood's blockbuster actress Deepika Padukone was Wednesday signed on to endorse

Axis Bank. She will front the private sector bank's new campaign Badhne ke kai naam

hai, and says she's happy to be associated with a service so important to an individual's
progress.
"A bank plays a very important role in the progress of so many individuals and I'm proud
to be a part of the Axis Bank team,"Deepika said in a statement.
She is happy that being a woman,she has been chosen to represent the brand as she sees
"no reason why any industry should be dominated by either gender in today's day and
age".
"Like I mentioned earlier, a bank plays such an important role in the progress of so many
individuals, and that's what has excited me the most about this association," she added.
Deepika, who grew from being a badminton player to a model and then actress, says she
believes in the brand's philosophy - "Badhti Ka Naam Zindagi".
"I've always believed that if you stop growing, you stop being. Moreover, progress is a
very individual thing. What it means to you might be very different from what it means to
me. But yet for both of us, it's the most vital part of our lives. In a way it's a common
thread that binds us," she said.
This is the first association of the bank with a celebrity, and the idea behind zeroing in on
Deepika is because "her journey of progress represents the new India which is young,
hardworking, in-tune and aware of the world around them", said Rajiv Anand, president -
Retail Banking, Axis Bank.
The campaign, designed by Lowe Lintas lies in the space that progress has many
dimensions and talks about the holistic nature of progress and highlights Axis Bank's
journey as a customer-centric bank.
REASON FOR SELECTING DEEPIKA AS AN AMBASSADOR:
Axis Bank, one of India's largest private sector banks has announced launch of the third
phase of its advertising campaign around its brand philosophy of 'Badhti ka naam
zindagi'or 'Progress On'. With a new cut on the philosophy articulated as 'Badhne ke kai
naam hai...', the bank for the first time is also getting associated with a celebrity 'Deepika
Padukone' announced as its ambassador to take its brand philosophy ahead.
The campaign designed by Lowe Lintas lies in the space that progress has many
dimensions and talks about the 'holistic' nature of progress and highlights Axis Bank's
journey as a customer centric bank. The new campaign featuring leading Bollywood

actress Deepika Padukone is directed by the renowned movie and ad film director Gauri
Shinde.
Speaking on the launch of the campaign, Rajiv Anand, president- retail banking, Axis
Bank.
He added that Deepika Padukone who is considered a youth icon in the country, brings in
fresh energy, youthfulness and vitality required for the idea to imbibe bank's philosophy.
Deepika Padukone, actress and brand ambassador of Axis Bank said, "It feels wonderful
to be associated with one of India's most respected banks. A bank plays a very important
role in the progress of so many individuals and I'm proud to be a part of the Axis Bank
Team."
Arun Iyer, national creative director, Lowe Lintas and Partners said, 'Badhti ka Naam
Zindagi' or 'Progress on' is the essence of brand Axis. In our earlier campaigns we have
explored this philosophy from various angles, be it an individual's progress or the
progress of the collective. The objective this year was to explore a new dimension of
progress while showcasing the range of products, which brings us to the idea behind the
campaign 'Progress has many meanings'."
It is not just material but also emotional and personal. While growing monetarily is
important but it is also important to have value-system in place and that's the whole
thinking behind the philosophy of 'Badhti ka Naam Zindagi', he added.

MARKETING COMMUNICATION:
Television Ads:


Hoardings



AXIS BANK ON OOH (MOBILE APP):
Axis Bank with joint collaboration with Milestone Brandcom has come up with two
campaigns to promote their range of Credit Cards and their new mobile applications.
The marketing objective of the Credit Card campaign by Axis Bank was to drive credit
and debit card spends during the festive season and to create maximum awareness for the
offers through the OOH medium. The Mobile Application innovation in the campaign in
particular was meant to create awareness and drive downloads for the new Axis Mobile
Application through online channels. The OOH medium was utilized to build registry and
recall. The credit card and mobile application campaign creatives were developed by
Lowe Lintas and Metal Communications.
The campaign was up for a period of 20 days across major metros like Mumbai, Delhi,
Kolkata, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Ahmedabad and Hyderabad.
An innovation was executed in Mumbai at Mahim Causeway Junction wherein a large
shopping bag bearing the logos of all the brands associated with the Axis Bank offer was
created and installed. A huge mobile phone was also created and placed on a rotating disk.
The structure had immense visibility throughout the day and night. The billboard creative
was highlighted through the use of LED lights to draw the attention to the benefits of
using the mobile application.

Together with the major innovations, the campaign was quite prominent at hoardings and
bus shelters all over Mumbai.
The execution was visible from a distance and caught the attention of all the passersby.
Speaking on the campaign, Hanoz Patel, Founder Member & Managing Partner,
Milestone Brandcom, said, The brief from the client was to draw attention to the brands
new offerings. The media has been strategically placed at main arterial routes & traffic
junctions across all major metros. To further the impact, innovations were executed across
Mumbai city.
An Axis bank official said speaking about the role of OOH in the brands marketing
plans, The OOH industry is going through a very interesting phase right now. OOH
Innovation is increasingly playing a key role in campaigns. We have been using outdoor
quite heavily for quite a few of our campaigns. We have even used outdoor as the lead
medium for a few of our campaigns. Our spends on OOH would be close to 15%-20% out
of our total media outlays.

FACEBOOK & NEWSPAPERS:-
Axis bank opens customer support on Facebook:
Axis had created an interesting application on its Facebook page that scans your picture
and recommends you MY cards, which are customized credit cards from Axis. Although
the bank has been quite eager and creative with promoting its new products on social
media, there was no method to address customer grievances. The Axis Bank
Facebook page served as a Platform of advertisement majorly, along with the Twitter
page to supplement it. So, today I was pleasantly surprised to know about the Axis
Bank customer support application on its Facebook page.
The app called Customer support is an open one; you do not have to like the page to be
able to access it. It looks more like a community forum and has a basic form categorized
fewer than 4 tabs: Ask a question, Share an idea, Report a problem and Give praise. The
tabs as the names suggest serve for basic inquiries, collection of ideas, reporting of
issues and kudos for the bank, however users have been mixing up with their categories at
times.
Below the app, one can see all the questions, problems and ideas posted along with
replies and discussions. Presently, there are 192 topics posted by 190 people with similar
queries posted by multiple users. Also, most replies reroute to the phone banking numbers
of the bank, and do not provide a solution to the question posted.
.This is a common customer service app powered by Involver and Get Satisfaction and
has been used by ecommerce companies on their Facebook page. But, no other bank in
India has created such a dedicated customer support forum on Facebook. Nevertheless,
Axis has taken a step in the right direction and as these are early days for the bank, we
will have to wait and watch the progress and response of this new initiative on Facebook.
After all, its Badthi ka naam zindagi!

Axis Bank customizes its cards with MY Cards print campaign:
Lowe Lintas & Partners has conceptualized the new campaign that focuses on the I
factor in shopping.
Indians are transforming from being restrained, conservative individuals into discerning
consumers. Their increased buying power has given them more choices than ever.
To add to this, the fact that over 50 per cent of India is below the age of 25 has
contributed significantly to Indians feeling more optimistic and positively disposed
towards all that life has to offer. This has also led to a more visible shift in the way India
shops. The progressive Indian is spending more and more on entertainment, travel and
personal care.
There is also a shift from family to the individual I and consumers are looking more
and more for products that suit not only individual needs but also those that suit their
personality.

Taking forth from this insight and questioning the logic of how personalities as diverse
as a compulsive shopper, a foodie, a traveller or a movie buff carry the same card, Axis
Bank has launched a new range of credit cards called MY Cards which give consumers
the freedom to choose a card that maximizes benefits in areas that they enjoy the most.
Individually, every consumer knows what he likes to spend a good portion of his money
on. And it would make his purchase experience even more gratifying if he could get
rewarded for spending more on what he loves.
The campaign developed by Lowe Lintas and Partners takes this idea forward to bring
out the fact that you can customize your credit card to reflect who you are. This is also
coming from the brand philosophy of progress as an individual and celebrating more of
what you like.
Individuality is the key idea behind this campaign. All of us are defined by the things
we love to do, of things that we are fans of. These cards are telling us its time we got
rewarded for them, explained Amar Singh Group Creative Director, Lowe Lintas.
Manisha Lath Gupta, Chief Marketing Officer, Axis Bank, said, Credit and debit cards
are one of the most used financial products from a bank. The fact that the card resides in
the customers wallet, and interacts at points of purchase, makes it a reflection of the
customers spending habits. Different consumers have different needs and interests, and
this gets mirrored in the card usage behavior as well. Understanding this insight, Axis
Bank has launched a range of credit cards for different consumer segments.
MY Zone Card is designed for movie goers, weekend shoppers and diners. MY Wings
Card is designed for travellers, and MY Choice is for those who want to customize their
card offers. The new media campaign has been launched across print, outdoor and
online, and aims at targeting customers across these interest groups.

The creative is in line with the Badhti ka Naam Zindagi campaign, as the products help
our customers realize their interests and passions in a rewarding manner.

Indias Axis Bank cleared to open first China Branch:
Axis Bank, Indias third-largest private sector bank, is set to open its first branch in China
within the next three months, the latest indication of closer financial links between Asias
two largest emerging economies.
ICICI, Indias largest private bank, is also expected to open its first Chinese branch later
this year, in a sign that leading Indian financial institutions are attempting to capitalize
on growing trade between the two nations.
Axis chief executive Shikha Sharma told the Financial Times that her institution has
received permission from regulators in both countries to open a full branch in Shanghai.
The move would make Axis the first Indian private sector bank to open a branch in the
country, and allow it to begin building a new India-China corporate banking business.
There is a lot of trade between China and India, so there is a lot of requirement for trade
finance and project finance, she said.
The banks Chinese expansion plans follow a series high-profile deals in which large
Indian industrial companies, including billionaire Anil Ambanis Reliance group, have
sought to purchase Chinese equipment or secure relatively inexpensive Chinese bank
funding.China is supplying a lot of equipment to India in areas like power, Ms Sharma
said. It isnt easy getting a licence there. We have been waiting for this permission for a
long time, and we are pleased to have it.
Trade between India and China is projected to top $100bn by 2015, according to the
Confederation of Indian Industry, a trade body, up from $66bn last year.
Rising trade flows between India and China is opening up huge opportunities for things
like working capital loans and trade export financing, along with fee-based services such
as letters of credit, said Ravi Trivedy, a consultant and former head of banking at
KPMG India.

Private Banks like ICICI and Axis control about a fifth of Indias banking market by
deposits, while state-backed institutions such as State Bank of India, the nations largest
bank, control nearly three quarters of the market.
A handful of state-backed banks such as SBI have been allowed to open Chinese
branches in the past, but until recently the Reserve Bank of India had been unwilling to
give private institutions permission to enter the market.
Until now both Axis and ICICI have operated what are known as representative offices in
China, which allow them to keep in touch with regulators and clients, but not to provide
any type of transactional banking services.
A spokesman for ICICI said the bank had received RBI permission to upgrade its
representative office to a branch in China and was now under discussions with the
Chinese regulatory authorities for necessary approvals.
Analysts expect the banks will now seek to provide services largely to Indian companies
looking to bring goods to and from China, with a focus in particular on imports in areas
like industrial equipment and machinery.
At the moment the private banks have been asked by their boards why the hell arent
you in China?, and now they are trying to get in there, Mr Trivedy said. Everybody is
clearly looking at this as a big, big opportunity.
Axis Bank ropes in Digitas for social media, online creative:
Digitas has been appointed by Axis Bank to handle social media and online creative
duties. On the association, Manisha Lath Gupta, chief marketing officer, Axis Bank, said,
At Axis Bank, we believe that digital media is an extremely important channel to engage
with and have meaningful conversations with consumers. Over a period of time, a good
digital strategy will go a long way in creating preference of one service provider over
another.We believe that Digitas India is the right strategic partner to help us achieve our
aspirations. Digitas will be handling all social media and online creative work for Axis
Bank.

Kanika Mathur, president, Digitas India, added, "Working with Axis bank is extremely
exciting and challenging for us. We will be using some of our worldwide learnings and
