Rising Star Awards 2021 Entries Open -
The new commercial from Exide emphatically establishes its unmatched scale, omnipresence and dominance in the category. Slice-of-life moments brought alive through a mélange of emotions, potpourri of characters across cultures and diverse narratives all strung together with a melodious inspiring refrain of ‘Look within yourself to find the light— and where there is light, there is life’ (translated from Hindi) make this film human yet magical.
The film brings to life how a brand like Exide Inverter Battery stands by even the smallest neighbourhood store, start-up business, and families — lighting up aspirations and big dreams, epitomising the credo of noblesse oblige that defines the brand. It applauds human achievement, the joy of living, celebrates warmth, laughter, caring, and fellow feeling and presents Exide Inverter Battery as a brand that spreads happiness by empowering people and brightening their lives.
Vijay Jacob, Sr. VP and Managing Partner, Wunderman Thompson Kolkata, said, “If there is one brand that can truly claim a national presence and recognition, it is Exide. It has undisputed leadership not just is sales but also in consumers’ minds. The film captures a cross-section of India and Indians as Exide brightens up their lives – literally and metaphorically. And in turn, brightens the future of India. It is emotional, it has scale. It is the language of a leader.”
Arjun Mukherjee, VP and ECD, Wunderman Thompson, Kolkata, who conceptualised and scripted the film, said, “The challenge for us was to throw light on a leader in a way, that’s full of empathy, joy and exuberance. An idea brought alive by little every day moments that not only brighten up our life but lifts the spirit of this nation as a whole.”
Created by Wunderman Thompson and directed by Shlok Sharma from Absolute Productions, the campaign is running on leading national and regional TV channels as well as on digital media.
