    K.Naresh Kumar, 172/2013.

    At the Kumbh, where all big marketers are vying to sell their products and boost their
    brands, Hindustan Unilever Limitedpromotes Lifebuoy soap through rotis in an innovative
    way.
    The countrys largest consumer products firm, along with creative agency Ogilvy, has
    partnered more than 100 dhabas and hotels at the mela site to serve rotis that are stamped
    with Lifebuoy se haath dhoye kya? (Have you washed your hand with Lifebuoy?) The Roti
    Reminder gets consumers attention at the exact time when hand washing is critical.
    The company has made special heat stamps to make an impression of its message on rotis and
    hired 100 promoters to stand in 100 kitchens across the mela. The campaign started on
    February 1 and ran for 30 days. The company hopes to put the hand wash reminder on 2.5
    million rotis.
    The Mahakumbh provides a unique opportunity to communicate this message to a large,
    predominantly small-town and rural population. In effect, this simple, clutter breaking idea
    will help us reach out to a massive audience, at a fraction of the cost.

    Brief :

    Every year over a million children die of diarrhea. Most of the deaths are rural due
    to lower levels of personal hygiene in rural India. The simple act of hand washing
    with soap can help prevent this.
    The objective was to create & deliver an idea to remind people to wash their hands
    before meals, impactful enough to double our reach against existing benchmarks at
    a meager budget.

    Role of Advertisement:
    1992- ads had catchy jingle Tandarusti ki suraksha karta hai lifebuoy... Lifebuoy hai jahah,
    Tadarusti hai wahan. Lifebuoy. Masculine, triumphant & victorious context of cleanliness
    2004- Built concept that school kids performed better after taking bath with lifebuoy-better
    health
    2005- After repositioning, ads featured the jingle Koi Darr Nahin Laddering:
    Hygienehealth Freedom Happiness. Ads showed first time mothers being advised by
    the doctors to use Lifebouy for their kids
    2010- Ads now primarily centered on housewives and kids/ families-fastest germ killing
    superfast handwash campaign launched in 2010.
    Promotion Strategies

    Yuvraj to endorse Lifebuoy

    Result : The campaign garnered 80 million global impressions and amounting to revenue of
    $59.3 million (1600 times ROI).
    One of the market leaders Nielsen data for the last quarter pegs Lifebuoy at 14.5% market
    share, a close second to Lux's 14.6% the name of the brand came from the life-saving
    buoy thrown out to people at sea to prevent them from drowning, literally meaning that the
    brand saves lives. A global brand, it lost its original moorings in the 50s and the 60s in many
    markets except in India. It was first targeted at men and masculine health. The promise of
    Lifebuoy was 'You will remain healthy if you use Lifebuoy. You will be able to play hockey
    or football well'. It was sporty. When it started, the focus was on men as the role of the man
    was prime. The symbolism of health, at the time, was the huge, sporty, macho man. Now, the
    brand targets women, especially mothers.
    Lifebuoy is one of the sponsors of Global Handwashing Day.
    The brand now, wants to adopt a friendlier tone. There are two ways to make people aware
    of health. One is to scaremonger and the other is to empower. This is the only brand that can
    converse with you about health in such a manner that it wont scare you.
