Innovative Media Strategy:
The client was unable to take conventional media vehicles to support the communication because of financial constraints. Apart from that, it was also important that the message didn't lose its essence in the clutter of conventional media. Keeping these challenges in mind, we had to find a way to communicate both effectively and economically. We were talking to music enthusiasts all across the city. Parents, teachers and students alike. The objective was to make them realize that training themselves in Western classical music will not result in dreary and boring sessions.
Creative Execution:
The communication had to blend-in with their image of being trend-setters. Notations, the basic grammar of music were an instinctive choice. We wanted to make formal music more appealing to our target audience and break the myth of gravity and reverence attached to it. Overhead wires against the sky immediately gave us the cue of the stave notation lines. The unique idea of using these wires as staves shaped up the communication and gave it an edge over the stereotypical media vehicles.
Target Audience:
The ads were displayed at nine strategic locations in the city. These were places near schools and colleges and those which faced heavy traffic congestions. Apart from using overhead wires, speakers were installed inside the kiosks that read the message. The static nature of the creative execution got the eyeballs and the response that it deserved.
Effectiveness:
The message was immediately communicated to the music enthusiasts and prospective students across Kolkata. It translated into more than 700 phone calls and 260 enrollment forms getting distributed by Calcutta School of Music.

Describe the communication goal for this entry and show how your innovative media strategy represents a new, consumer insights based approach.
In India, consumers equate starched clothes with smartness—the stronger the starch, the better. Our goal was to communicate the strength of the starch used at the Leach & Weborny chain of dry cleaners.
We chose to demonstrate the product benefit of strong starch by showing banners that were, incredibly enough, held up by a single string. It demonstrated the strength of the starch simply, yet dramatically.
Since most of our target audience starches their clothes to be smart and presentable in office, we lined up these banners on the busiest rush-hour routes so that office-goers see it on the way to work.
Within days of the banners going up, footfalls at Leach & Weborny outlets went up by 47%.

Arranged marriages are still quite the norm in India. And matrimonial classifieds are very popular with parents seeking prospective partners for their children. The communication goal was to strike an instant chord with parents and keep HT Matrimonials top of mind.
In an Indian marriage ceremony, after the vows have being taken the end of the bride’s red sari is tied to the groom’s white stole in a knot, symbolizing their sacred union. Instead of a plain banner, this innovative banner for HT Matrimonials, has two pieces of cloth (red and white) tied up in a knot, to signify the same.
The banner was put outside shopping malls, jewellers’ shops, all places which are frequented by elders.
In just a month, we received an overwhelming response and the number of classified ads in HT Matrimonials almost doubled.
