The mandate from Knorr was simple - to create a film that would set the
internet abuzz with conversation around the brand. This objective had to
be achieved amongst its wide online user base without making it look
like a commercial promotion.
Abhishek Razdan, National Business
Head - Jack in the Box Worldwide, said, " The idea was to showcase
India's emergence as a preferred work destination. The world is now
moving from the west to the east. India's Independence Day was the
perfect occasion to bring this idea alive. We as a nation have always
celebrated our multi-cultural construct and this tribute where you see
people from different nationalities singing the National Anthem is an
extension of that. Knorr, through its range of international soups,
celebrates the assimilation of various cultures and is a perfect fit for
this initiative."
On Twitter, the video with its hash tag #WorldWishesIndia trended at #1 position for over 10 hours in India, and at #4 globally for about three hours on 15th August. A total of over 35000 tweets were generated with the video link and hash tag, with a reach impression of over 70.5M. The distinguished tribute was watched 261145 times on YouTube.
Abhiroop C, General Manager, Packaged
Foods, Hindustan Unilever Limited added, "History has always looked up
to India for the country's openness to welcoming and assimilating
various cultures. Knorr International Soups, while bringing new flavours
to its consumers also brings the world closer to India.
This resulted in an idea of presenting a tribute to India from the world, by showcasing the world's sentiment towards the country through a video. With its message, 'The World Now Comes to India', the video shows people from all around the world with contrasting cultures, singing the Indian National Anthem in unison, thus, honoring India, the world's largest democracy.
All this, from creation to amplification, was done in the space of 72 hours, with great bias for action in aligning internal and agency teams. The results and the buzz around the brand have been fantastic. This is a great case of using topical communication to create magic in marketing."
