Rajeev Sathyesh, Country Marketing Manager, Gillette India, added here, “Gillette globally has been associated with sports for many years now. As part of Gillette’s endeavour to salute the spirit of all Indian cricket fans, we have launched Special Edition India razors. The new razors have the word India engraved on the handle and displays the country’s name and colours.”
Malvika MehraCommenting on the thought behind the campaign, Malvika Mehra, ?National Creative Director and Senior Vice President, Grey Worldwide, India, said, “While we were toying with the idea of doing something for the ICC Cricket World Cup, we thought of giving ode to the Indian cricket fans and their undying spirit. Just like the passion of the game by a true believer is personal, a razor is also a very personal thing.”
Though Gillette has plans to take the ‘The Best A Fan Can Get’ campaign on-ground and in print, there are no plans yet to take the campaign on television.
