Mumbai, 21st July 2017: With the critical fourth phase of digitization underway, Tata Sky, India’s leading content distribution platform providing Pay TV and OTT services, has rolled out its latest ‘Dhamaka Rupee’ campaign. The 360-degree campaign features Nayanthara for the Southern markets and Amitabh Bachchan across other markets in India. The campaign aims to encourage consumers to make the right switch from analog cable to Tata Sky, with the Dhamaka Pack (for the rest of the country) and South Special Pack (for the five South states). These unique packs loaded with over 220 channels and services, includes the best of entertainment across genres.

In way that is quintessentially Tata Sky, the campaign, directed by national award-winning director Shoojit Sircar, has legend Amitabh Bachchan portraying a grumpy yet loveable shop owner – ‘Uncleji’ whose life has turned upside down because of the success of the Dhamaka 199 pack. The pack, selling like hot cakes, forces him to keep stocking one rupee coins as change to give back to the customer. Meanwhile in a small village in southern India, the affable Meenakshi, essayed by superstar Nayanthara, is grumpy too as she looks for the elusive one rupee coin, thanks to the success of Tata Sky’s South Special Pack.

Malay Dikshit, Tata Sky’s Chief Communications Officer said, “It’s second nature for us Indians to be exact about the value for what we buy. The simple and humorous communication in this campaign makes use of this peculiar behaviour and lands the price, the pack details and value for money messaging – all in a few seconds. Through this campaign we are looking at targeting 70 mn cable TV households across the country.”

Sukesh Nayak, Ogilvy and Mather‘s Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy West (India) said, “To sell Tata Sky’s most popular and extremely competitive value pack, priced at just 199, we decided to play on the fun side of the struggle that a shopkeeper has to go through, when he has to return the change for such a popular pack.”

Right from the ‘Phone Ghumao’ campaign in 2013 to the Missed Call campaign in 2015, Tata Sky has always looked to generate awareness about the merits of digitization in rural markets and on the simplicity to get a set-top box. The current 360-degree integrated campaign comprises of 2 lead films with 3 smaller duration films each that talk about how Tata Sky offers the best of entertainment at the best price possible as compared to conventional analog connections. The campaign will be rolled out in multiple languages that include Hindi, Marathi, Oriya, Bengali, Kannada, Telugu, Malayalam and Tamil.

What the Duchess of Cambridge wears – when, where and why

Since she grabbed Prince William’s attention wearing a near see-through dress at a student fashion show, Kate Middleton’s outfits have always been in the public eye. Kate’s Wardrobe Secrets, broadcast exclusively on ITV Choice on Thursday 27th July, reveals Kate’s favourite labels, the styles she chooses – whether she is going to a sports ground or a film premiere – and her go-to designers, who include Catherine Walker – a favourite of her late mother-in-law, Diana – Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen.

At the other end of the scale they disclose how high street favourites such as LK Bennett, Reiss and Hobbs are regular choices and how small, niche labels like Goat, Preen, Me & Em and maternity specialist Seraphine have seen their businesses boom after being worn by the Duchess. With every outfit she wears scrutinised, dissected and discussed, this hour-long documentary also finds out what celebrities, stylists, fashion writers and bloggers think of her choices, and ask them to reveal their particular favourites.

Kate has graced the cover of every fashion, celebrity and gossip magazine going and even made it to the cover of Vogue. Without a doubt, she is the current golden girl of fashion – and it seems every woman wants a slice of that magical Duchess glamour.

SINGAPORE – 18 JULY 2017 – Nielsen (NYSE: NLSN) has announced the launch of Target Group Performance Analysis, a new innovation evaluation framework that will allow fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturers to more accurately predict an innovation’s overall viability and the growth potential within specific, target, consumer segmentations. This new, first-of-its-kind global innovation offering is grounded in Nielsen’s proprietary innovation database, BASES, which is the industry’s largest database that is used to predict consumer behavior in a retail environment.

In today’s innovation landscape, many buyer group testing tools are either limited to broad definitions, like “moms” or “brand buyers,” or are unable to accurately predict target buyer preferences for an innovation, when compared to other category competitors. Changing the game, Nielsen’s Target Group Performance Analysis is able to provide an absolute look at a specific buyer and how responsive they may be to a certain initiative. Through flexible database simulations that are based on Nielsen’s proprietary database and deep knowledge of target response patterns, actionable insights around key buyer potential are revealed. With this knowledge, companies now have a new, more strategic framework for evaluating their innovation decisions. They can refine their decision making to consider both their overall potential of success with the likelihood of appealing to their strategic buyer, allowing them to innovate with a growth mindset.

More predictive than traditional methods of target group analysis, this solution is backed by a multi-year research and development effort that verified the accuracy of the model in a variety of major markets across all major super categories and a range of target group profiles. This tool has been validated against proprietary target group databases of 10,000+ concepts among non-general population groups such as teens, parents and pet owners. Unbounded by category, country or consumer definition, the solution reliably predicts preferences for any strategic target.

“We are excited to add Nielsen Target Group Performance Analysis to our product offering roster,” said Anupam Bhargava, head of Nielsen’s Innovation group in Growth and Emerging Markets. “Nielsen has a strong track record of helping our clients consistently achieve better innovation outcomes, faster and more efficiently. Our leading-edge development strategies put product offerings in prime position to succeed. Continuing this trend, Nielsen Target Group Analysis will takes the guess work out of targeted initiatives for our clients and will add context and confidence to targeted innovation decisions with both survival and strategy in mind.”
