Coming from one of the prominent figures of Tollywood, this film has all the masala of a hit film. A sports film, a superstar and a hit actor-director at the top.
We proposed ABP One this film as a platform for strategically placing Lifebuoy as an in-film placement.
Read on to know why.
3. Potential mapping
Film: Lorai
Director: Parambrata Chatterjee
Production House: Greentouch Entertainment
Background: Parambrata’s debut film ‘Hawa Bodol’ created quite a buzz at the
BO
Appeal: Parambrata’s appeal as an actor has always been niche and urban. And
that his been image too within the industry
Cast: Prosenjit Chatterjee, Indrasish Roy, Payel Sarkar and others
Promotion Plan: TBD
Distribution Plan: TBD
4. Demography
The director has an urban appeal and following throughout the Bengali film fraternity.
Prosenjit Chatterjee, post Autograph, has created a new cult among the urban
audience too.
We intend to address the health-conscious urban audience, especially the female
audience through this association.
Psychograph
Urban audience who have a keen interest in literature, loves watching content-driven
films and adore Prosenjit Chatterjee will form our target-base. The
health-conscious, family-oriented audience will be addressed to through this
association.
Mindset
The desire to be clean, active and healthy is intrinsic to everyone-irrespective of age or
economic status. People having this similar mindset will form our TG.
6. Integration opportunities
Example:
Implied endorsement (actor uses product)
The footballer / coach freshens up after a hard day’s practice. The
lifebuoy soap has been his mate since his childhood. He picks up the bar
yet again to freshen up.
Background close-up
The soap can be showcased for a fleeting moment before the footballer /
coach touches it / uses it.
Verbal plus (actor mention, touches the product)
The footballer / coach recommends the soap to a junior / team mate,
suggesting her / him to use it to maintain hygiene.
Proposed duration:
30 seconds
7. Objective:
Post repositioning, Lifebuoy has been a family soap from a masculine soap, which promises
mothers a germ free skin for their family. The brand also intends to develop a healthy hand-washing
and germ-fighting experience.
The brand promise talks about ‘Koi Darr Nahi’ which substantiates to the fact that usage of
lifebuoy is a self-assuring fact in the fight against germs.
The connect is to create a common platform where the brand will advocate good hand-washing
and self-cleaning practices through the film ‘Lorai’ and provide assurance to
the TG.
8. 3F
Fit: How relevant
‘Lorai’ portrays the story of a footballer. Cleanliness and hygiene is at the core of the film.
Lifebuoys message can be suggested in a strong fashion.
Focus: How engaging
The brand will engage the audience in a format where they will be advised and suggested
regarding the importance of cleanliness.
Fame: Prosenjit Chatterjee’s charisma, Parambrata’s image and successful debut as a
director and the content – this trident is enough to provide the brand with enough
brownie points.
