Biba

#IAmAMomToo

Biba, an ethnic apparel brand in India, launched a stereotype-breaking campaign, #IAmAMomToo to celebrate motherhood. The new digital film extends the thought of motherhood in a unique manner, and explains how age defines a woman’s motherhood. The film cherishes and appreciates a woman's motherhood in multiple ways and not just in a mother-child relationship.

The film opens with a conversational setup, with the question, "What it means to be a mother?” The women in the film are aged from 10 to 35 years and each of them has a unique thought on being a mother. The interviewer then asks them if they are a mother. They all agree and reveal their babies which include not just a small child but also a cat, a start-up, a science project and a sunflower. In the end, the film encapsulates the message “We’re all mothers, in more ways than one”.

The film is conceptualised by Brandmovers India, and produced by Chalk and Cheese.

Seniority

#SameAsMaa

Seniority, an e-commerce website for senior citizens in India, has launched a new range of special products dedicated to mothers. The products, developed in collaboration with illustrator Neha Rawat Battish, capture the eccentric instances the brand frequently experience with mothers. The company has launched an integrated brand campaign #SameAsMaa to resonate the quirky moments a child have with their mothers and how a child imbibe those qualities to become just like them.

The special range of products include notebooks, fridge magnets, keychains, coasters and mugs and reflect designs which mimic typical characteristics of mothers such as their obsession with cleanliness.

Prega News

#PregaNewsMeansGoodNews

Prega News, a pregnancy detection kit, manufactured and marketed by Mankind Pharmaceutical, has launched its new campaign #PregaNewsMeansGoodNews, targeting the Indian families and their regressive mindset. In the campaign the brand requests its audiences to wish for a healthy child, irrespective of their child’s sex. The campaign has been conceptualised and executed by ADK Fortune.

Gender inequality is a pertinent issue prevailing all over the world; however, its presence in India is far more complex. The preference for a boy over a girl has been deeply instituted in the Indian minds, which lead to nothing but grave consequences that curb the nation’s growth. But, with this new initiative, Mankind Pharma hopes to bring a change in people’s outlook.

PTron

Palred Technology’s subsidiary brand PTron, an electronic and mobile accessories company, offers a range of discount on its speaker segment to gift the music-loving mothers.

Parle-G

#YouAreMyParleG

Parle Products, India’s manufacturer of biscuits and confectionery, launched a digital film #YouAreMyParleG, celebrating the eternal love of a mother. The digital film honours moms who wear many hats and leave no stone unturned to make their children’s dreams come true. The key objective of this campaign is to appreciate mothers who are strong and don’t let the harsh realities of life impact their children’s dreams and hopes. The campaign is conceptualised by Ghungroo Films and Entertainment.

The film captures many struggles of motherhood and the strength that moms have to go through time and again only for their kids. The film showcases the daily life of a working mom.  Right from waking her son for school, to preparing delicious tiffin and then dropping him to school, the mother does it all. She then rushes to her workplace and begins her day. Parle-G becomes an integral part of the narrative with an insight weaved in the story on how mothers introduce this brand to their children at an early stage of life by mashing it in milk and giving it as baby food to how it is a constant companion in their household through the years.

Hopscotch.in

#FirstStylist 

Hopscotch.in, a kids fashion brand in India, launched a campaign #FirstStylist for a child’s first-ever stylist, his/her mother. The campaign will be initiated through a video inspired by the latest trend, where a mom will share her story of her child being her muse through the rap song.

The thought is an ode to the fact that mothers play the role of a child’s very #FirstStylist. Right from putting up the matching accessories, the right shoes to complete her child’s outfit, she always ensures her kid are suited and booted just right, no matter what the occasion is.

Through the 360-degree #TestedByRealMoms marketing campaign, Voltbek aimed to create a distinct brand voice for the women to understand their life, hopes, issues, desires and things that propel decision-makers in the family and talk in a language that resonated with her.

#TasteOfMotherHood

Ahead of Mother’s Day, Gits Food, an instant food maker, has launched a new video campaign that captures the warmth of a mother’s love and the magic in her handmade food.

Spaces

#NoOtherLikeMother

Spaces, a home linen brand from Welspun India, launched a #NoOtherLikeMother campaign on Mother’s Day. Striking an emotional chord, the campaign highlights how a mother’s heart is a space that welcomes all.

The video film applauds mothers for their unconditional love and abundant warmth. The film, conceptualised by 21N78E Creative Labs, begins with a mother who is sprucing up her son’s room and ensuring that every nook and corner of the room is clean, as the son is asthmatic. Eagerly waiting and excited to see him after three years, she wonders what her son would want to share with her. The son arrives with another individual and introduces him as his partner, thereby sharing the news of their engagement to his mother. The son, who was bracing himself for a tough reaction, breathes a sigh of relief to see that the mother is upset, not because he is engaged to a boy, but because he did not share this news with her earlier. The video ends with the mother welcoming the son and his partner and celebrating their engagement with a voiceover saying, ‘A mother’s heart is a space that welcomes all’.

Set Wet

#SadaSukhiRaho

Set Wet, Marico’s male grooming and hair styling brand, has launched its first Mother’s Day campaign “Sada Sukhi Raho” with a digital film series that strikes a nostalgic chord, urging young people to take a pause and call their mother.

The series of films is a heartfelt reminder of how mothers always look out for their sons and it is important to acknowledge her — probably your first-ever stylist, growing up. She may critique him but will always want the best for him. But as the times have evolved and as children grow up, this relationship with the mother is often unknowingly taken for granted. Set Wet aims to rekindle and celebrate this very bond.

Zivame

For mothers who swiftly turn their heads the moment they hear the word ‘Mom’. This Mother’s Day, Zivame is celebrating Mothers and the special bond that their child shares with them. The brand has issued an offer Zivame surprise in the new range of ‘Mom and Me’ collection on the occasion of Mother’s Day.
