Engage On is about smelling great anytime, anywhere

ITC's Engage has launched Engage On, its first range of pocket perfumes for men and women. To launch the product, JWT has conceptualised and executed a campaign for the brand that talks about how the product comes in handy when needed.

The product is available in six fragrances. It embodies the brand proposition of playful romance and brings alive the new language of love through its range of pocket perfumes. Engage On is a segment disruptor and breaks the category clutter yet again with its communication and portfolio offering.

Insight-based innovation has been the bedrock of ITC's personal care business. Deodorising is an under-penetrated grooming concept in India. The introduction of Engage On caters to the evolving attitude and lifestyle of consumers in India.

Speaking on the launch, Sameer Satpathy, Chief Executive, Personal Care Products Business, ITC, said, "Engage On is an innovation in the category of perfumes. The pocket perfumes developed for the youth is designed around the core benefits of desirability, affordability and convenience. Crafted by International fragrance experts, Engage On offers an enormous opportunity to educate and drive the growth of perfumes."

The communication illustrates the brand philosophy and defines Engage On further. Directed by critically acclaimed director Abhinay Deo and music composed by Dhruv Ghanekar, the commercial highlights the brand proposition of playful chemistry with Engage On bringing in the confidence of smelling great anytime, anywhere.

Commenting on the creative, Tista Sen, SVP and National Creative Director, J. Walter Thompson, said, "A pocket full of perfume is what the new Engage communication promises. The 'must have' for every young couple getting to know each other a little closer. The secret is theirs alone and the viewers and that's what makes it enjoyable. With this new product innovation, perfume needn't be just what sits on your dressing table but something you can carry with you. And use it anytime, anywhere. It's romance on the go and that's what the TG will identify with."
