Basil - IMC 2024
Basil - IMC 2024
Background:
DzignX Products Private Limited launched a new brand ‘basil’ in Feb 2024. The driving force behind 'basil' is
a fundamental belief that while our homes and lives have evolved, and kitchens have modernized, kitchenware
products themselves have stagnated, maintaining the same designs and brand stories of two decades ago.
With this realization, basil emerged, infused with the mission to inject excitement into this category.
Target Audience:
Basil is a digital first brand with a strong focus on reaching urban millennials residing in metropolitan and
Tier 1 cities. The primary target audience comprises individuals with an annual income exceeding INR 700,000
or the top 10 million households. While the current product range caters to kids aged 5 and above, teens and
young adults, the medium-term plan is to expand the same to provide options for ages 0 – 12 years & teens.
In most cases, the woman in the household is the decision maker and the children are the influencers.
