Mumbai: Myntra has launched a marketing campaign ahead of the fifteenth edition of its flagship, 'End of Reason Sale' (EORS), scheduled to be held between 18 to 23 December. The tagline for the campaign 'Ab Har Koi Reason Chalega!' sums up the proposition of the event, while urging consumers to shop with just a reason, however silly the reasons might be.
Conceptualised by Brave New World, Myntra will be launching 15-second ad films, starring an existing band of celebrity ambassadors, such as Hrithik Roshan, Dulquer, Simbu, Vijay, Kiara Advani, Disha Patani, and Samantha.
The storyboards of the ad films conform to the tagline 'Ab Har Koi Reason Chalega!’ with the ‘Reason to shop' taking centre stage in the ad films, viewers can witness their favourite celebrities making up reasons to shop on Myntra. Hrithik for instance, uses his new hairdo as an excuse or reason to shop, Samantha uses an unknown holiday destination and installing a new mirror as reasons enough to shop, it pains Bhuvan to witness two of his wardrobe hangers without any clothes and he decides to shop to have them occupied. Bhuvan also stars in an ad film where he chooses to shop for colours that he thinks his pet dog can identify and appreciate. Thus, the ad films use reasons, small and big, as examples to induce shopping among viewers, ahead of EORS-15, with quirky thematic storytelling helmed by its celebrity ambassadors.
In order to drive buzz and salience for the property, Hrithik, Kiara lead the Hindi TVC's, and Dulquer, Simbu, Vijay, and Samantha add a touch of southern flavour to their respective scripts. The films will be streamed across multiple leading TV channels, social and digital platforms.
While Hrithik will be seen on TVCs and digital ad films promoting the men’s apparel category, kids and footwear categories, Vijay, Dulquer and Simbu will promote the men’s fashion category in regional edits. Kiara will front Women’s western wear, Disha will lead the beauty and personal care category, while Samantha will lead Women’s ethnic wear as well as accessories.
“Our marketing campaign for the upcoming edition of EORS has been developed keeping in mind the new-age lifestyle consumers who are both fashion-conscious and social media savvy," said Myntra vice president Achint Seti. "This has prompted us to focus extensively on our social commerce platform, including M-Live to engage with our audiences at scale through their favourite celebrities and influencers."
“Apart from this, our TV ad campaigns with celebrities, help us reach every part of the country and demography, with the central message of the campaign, that urges shoppers to have a reason to shop, no matter how silly, captured effectively in the ad. This is one of the biggest marketing campaigns that we have put up for EORS and we are expecting to reach ~200 million people,” he further said.
The brand recently forayed into social commerce at scale, by launching M-Live which enables a real-time video-enabled, interactive shopping experience, guided by influencers and experts. EORS-15 will witness M-Lives with celebrities and influencers on Myntra-Studio alongside a heightened influencer engagement program at Myntra across all social media channels.
