21. LG Electronics - A ‘Viewty’ To A Kill
SITUATION
 LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company (LG) (www.lge.com) is a leading producer
of UMTS (WCDMA), CDMA and GSM handsets. LG began as a late entrant in the GSM
segment in India; therefore it was an uphill task to get consumers to embrace the brand
which was dominated by Nokia the current market leader; besides, draw their attention from
newly launched phones especially the iPhone which was making news worldwide.
 To position LG Viewty (KU990) mobile phone as a state-of-the-art mobile device and further
highlight it as a lifestyle brand rather than just an innovative gizmo.
STRATEGY
 Position the LG Viewty as a top-of-the-line smart phone with style, an iPhone
alternative.

device which highlighted its innovative features.

Good’ as an underlying aspect to the new LG Viewty brand.

Express, Economic Times from Asia launch in Macau.

23. General Motors – A ‘Spark’ling Debut
SITUATION
 General Motors India is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors Corporation, which
offers products under the Chevrolet brand in the country. GM India was way down the
pecking order in terms of media share of voice because of: Low market share, Small product
line up, Capacity constraint, Lack of products in the fast selling B&C categories, and also due
to the phase out of the once popular Opel brand.
 The idea was to plan a media blitz that would last the entire year and keep GM India in the
news on a continuous basis riding on the intended launch of its products and capacity
augmentation plans, which in turn would leverage sales for their new car to be launched
Chevrolet Spark.
STRATEGY
 A major campaign was launched for media interaction with prominent newspapers and
magazines.
 Niche magazines on motoring such as Business Standard motoring, BBC Road Show, Top
Gear etc. were chosen.
 From the Television angle, NDTV, CNBC, TIMES NOW were invited.
PROGRAM
 In the pre-launch stage, Global Chief of GM Corp. Mr. Rick Wagoner was brought to India to
launch Chevrolet Spark. This created a buzz amongst the media and a photo opportunity.
 The first phase of the Spark launch juggernaut rolled on during April – May 2007 covering
major cities in the Eastern and Western region of the nation. During mid 2007, GM India
stepped into the diesel sedan segment by launching the Chevrolet Optra Magnum. Clubbed
with the Magnum launch, the second phase of Chevrolet Spark launch juggernaut rolled on
across the Northern and Southern region.
RESULTS
 Ever since its launch, the Spark has received rave reviews from auto experts and consumers
alike for its class-leading fuel efficiency, passenger comfort and refined performance making
it the most desirable vehicle in India today.
 In 2007, GM India experienced record annual growth of 68 per cent on sales of 60,032
vehicles. This was well above overall industry growth of about 14 per cent.

25. CNBC-TV 18 – Leading The Pack
SITUATION
 CNBC is India’s No.1 Business news channel. The channel's benchmark coverage
extends from corporate news, financial markets coverage, expert perspective on
investing and management to industry verticals and beyond.
 There were other channels in the market in the same category and the challenge
was to differentiate CNBC-TV18 from the clutter of other news channels.
 To increase brand recall of CNBC-TV18 and to create awareness of its new
consumer channel CNBC AWAAZ and the other ventures such as - SAW,
moneycontrol.com, etc.

27. Sony Pictures (India) – Casino Royale
SITUATION
 Sony Pictures India is one of the global divisions of Sony Pictures Entertainment, the
world wide leader in the television and film production/distribution industry. In India
they were going to launch the Bond movie ‘Casino Royale’ and they needed good
publicity to justify the worldwide franchise of the Bond lineage.
 Though Bond is known worldwide and has a mass appeal, this time around the actor
playing Bond was new and there had been a lot of negative publicity around him. The
distributors did not want to take a chance on this aspect and therefore were looking
for a grand opening which is fit for any Bond movie.
STRATEGY
 Create curiosity about the movie to draw millions to the box office.
 To create hype around Casino Royale and the new Bond – Daniel Craig.
 Generate awareness about the legend that began with ‘Casino Royale’ - the novel in
which James Bond earned his 007 title. The progression from a dutiful secret agent
into an all round hero with the ‘Licence to Kill’.
PROGRAM
 Started a teaser campaign and later on placed stories and articles of Bond in various
newspapers and magazines, which highlighted the various aspects of the Bond
persona such as ‘Look & Style’ of Bond, Bond’s favourite drink-The Martini, Hi-tech
gadgets et al. in short the Bond quotient which generated enormous publicity for the
Bond franchise.
RESULTS
 Sony Pictures India release for "Casino Royale“ by far had the biggest opening for
any Hollywood movie.
 The movie grossed Rs 15 Cr over the 3 day weekend. Besides, the high profile
campaign helped in every possible way to counteract any negativity/hate campaign
the actor had for the lead role.

SITUATION
 Philips Electronics India Ltd (Domestic Appliances & Personal Care) is the one of the
global divisons of consumer electronics giant Philips Eindhoven Holland. They were
keen on promoting their state-of-the-art UV Water Purifier in the market place.
 The product in question was a premium product which came with a relatively higher
price and to top it all, Philips was entering a new market segment that was driven by
a very dominant player enjoying a very large chunk of the pie.
STRATEGY
 Hanmer MS&L adopted a long-term plan, which ensured the desired impact of
communications to the target audience by focusing on the USP of the product.
PROGRAM
 The pre-launch phase focused on the rampant water contamination issues and the
need for urgent water purification to ensure safe water. This was done by placement
of generic articles in 15 key cities that highlighted city specific contamination issues.
 The launch phase kick started with the developing a customised media relations
strategy, followed by development of key messages and other collateral. All this
culminated to a mega press conference in New Delhi where the Philips Intelligent
Water Purifier got unveiled, followed by the roll-out of a national press release.
 The post launch focus was on building brand preference and stimulating purchase
intent while influencing sales. Story opportunities related to products launch, reviews,
advertising, branding and marketing initiatives were explored.
