Use Mobile Save tree
STORY
Abhishek Bachchan, who earlier was also seen in the Idea Cellular's ad, will once again
be seen here, enacting as the only tree left in a forest that has been cut down to feed paper
mills. He arrives upon the idea of how mobile phone could be used instead of paper, thus,
opposing the need to indiscriminately cut trees and consequently save the environment.
TARGET
The new campaign revolves around the theme, 'use mobile, save paper'
In the ad, they try to provide a telephony solution for problems which appear to be
complex in nature, but at the end isn't complex.
It also suggests interesting use of mobile, including getting celebrities autographs, music
scrolls and gradation certificates.
It's a young and innovative idea about mobile phones being the 21st century solution to
eliminate huge wastage of paper,that in turn helps keep our planet green.
This time it takes on the “burning topic” of deforestation this time in hope to motivate
people in India.
This is the sixth in the 'What an Idea Sirji' campaign. The theme focuses on an idea
which impacts people at large.
Walk when you talk – Stay fit
STORY
In it, Bachchan plays a doctor who advocates how people can stay fit by simply walking
while talking and seeds this idea in the public domain. It all begins when a journalist asks
him if technology has made people lazy. The doctor has a brainwave that all people need
to do is walk while they talk. The message spreads like wild fire. The doctor begins to
lose business.This commercial ends with the punchline which has been used in earlier
commercial – “What an Idea Sirji” thereby trying to build on the legacy created and take it
forward in this commercial.
TARGET
This Idea commercial tries to contradict the myth that technology has made man lazy.
It tries to convey that when people walk while talking, it helps them maintain their health
and hence prevents them from going to a doctor for health-related problems.
This is the positive angle of looking at the benefits that technology can provide.
The Idea commercial “Walk when you Talk” is innovative and good in communicating a
social message to the audience of India.
Education for all
STORY
Campaign sees Abhishek as the head of an educational institution. When challenged by the
traditional, physically bound classrooms in schools that prevent providing education to
many more children who are in need of education and the spread of education. He uses
mobile telephony to overcome the barrier in villages. Bachchan suggests lessons on the
mobile phone to universalise education.
TARGET
Idea's new campaign addresses a relevant social issue education for all.
The socially conscious messages that the company sends across through its new ad
campaign.
DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY - by the people , of the people, for the people
STORY
Bachchan plays the spokesperson who gives an idea to solve a complex problem with
surprisingly simple solution, through the power of mobile telephony. A politician asks
her constituents via mobile phones if she should allow the construction of a shopping
mall on agricultural land, and rejects the proposal when her constituents say “no”.
TARGET
It is close on the heels of the nation’s general elections, and showcased the use of mobile
phone for democratic decision-making.
Many observers are predicting that mobile phones will play an important role in the 2009
Indian general elections.
World without caste – Na Koi jaat paat , Na koi bhed bhaav
The ad in the series had the setting of a village ridden with caste wars, till Bachchan steps
in. He suggests that instead of names, which reflect the caste, all individuals should be
known by their mobile numbers. This would get rid of the caste system. Though it was
too simplistic a solution for a problem that has plagued the country for centuries, it did
connect with the audience. “What an idea, Sir ji,” was the punch line. The logical next
step was to build on the theme — how a good idea can reshape the world. “The reason
we’ve stuck to this theme is because we’ve had much success with it,” adds Shrivastava.
“We’ve got excellent responses based on our brand health monitor.”
STORY
Here Abhishek appeals its subscribers to pick up the phone and talk as much as they can on
26th November last year, between 8:36pm and 9:36pm for donation for our nation’s fallen
heroes. You remember, last year on 26th Nov (26/11) India was under an attack (attack on
Mumbai)Many policemen lost their lives fighting.
TARGET
