Creative Execution

Breaking Inertia: Gg(^)&^)P(ghg@#$%^&*(sgghsgsdghsgdsa. This is not gibberish. This is how we got the entire online population in India to view their news one morning. We partnered with one of the largest news sites in India and tweaked the content on their homepage to read as gibberish. While the confused user attempted to make sense of all the nonsense, a stirring message wiped across the screen: “This is how 40% of Indian children see alphabets due to illiteracy. Help them go to school. Padhega India to Badega India (Once India learns, it will progress)” This had immediate cut through and the message was disseminated in a clear, compelling manner. The banner also prompted action by asking people to register online to support the Shiksha initiative.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Insight, Strategy and Idea Purpose: Shiksha is P&G’s CSR initiative to build schools for children in rural India. Part profits from sale of every big pack are given to Shiksha. Our task was to generate disruptive awareness for Shiksha, build relevance and break consumer’s inertia towards buying these special packs Insight: “I hear & I forget. I see & I remember. I DON’T & I understand” People will empathize only when they learn first-hand the plight of uneducated children. Strategy & idea: Our lowest hanging fruit was the urban, savvy consumer who believed in social causes but was not easily moved to action because of lack of credibility. We found a way to get this audience to actually experience what it would be like to be illiterate and then surrounded them with credible influencers to reinforce the message.
