As a part of the campaign titled ‘Max Diwali Khushiyo Wali’,  Max Fashion has released two new TVCs that have been conceptualized by Wunderman Thompson led by Senthil Kumar and directed by Vivek Kakkad, celebrating the essence of relationships.

The films have been derived from insights about real relationships and revolve around the brand’s role in accentuating joy in the little moments of life. While one of the films captures romance that transpires between a couple, the other has a mischievous undertone to and appeals to children.

The core messaging of the campaign is. this Diwali, be festive ready with a dazzling ensemble from Max Fashion.

With the hashtags #MaxDiwaliKhushiyoWali and #MeriWaliDiwali, Max Fashion asked consumers to share their story of moments that make Diwali the celebration it is on Facebook.

Pantaloons’ ‘Dosto Wali Diwali’

This thematic campaign conceptualized by Ogilvy for Pantaloons is based on the premise that Diwali is always celebrated with loved ones. The 360° campaign is amplified across TV, print, outdoor, digital and radio. Additionally, all of the Pantaloons stores have come alive with festive themed windows.

Today, the youth from small towns move to bigger cities in pursuit of their dreams and live away from their families. For them, their friends are family. The commercial captures this insight with a story of friends who decide to celebrate the festival even before Diwali and showcases Pantaloons’ new festive collection that is perfect for ‘Doston Wali Diwali’.

Pantaloons roped in few fashion influencers to endorse its vibrant range of festive collection to promote their Diwali range.

Brands today have reached a stage where they understand that to create a large recall value a campaign must integrate an emotional story. Both the campaigns have a good storyline but Max’s campaign stands out as the concept is relatable and leaves the viewer with a smile on his face. While the storyboard of both the campaigns manages to connect with the Indian audience, Max’s campaign looks fresh with a new approach as compared to Pantaloons that showcases a concept that has been seen before.
