Santoor is India’s most loved and largest selling beauty soap among women. Santoor wanted to create a relevant campaign to connect with young voters during the elections. But, the big question we were grappling with was – what could a beauty brand say during the elections?
Most research indicated that Indian youth were disillusioned with politics and voter apathy was high among youth. During the height of the election season, #fashion and #beauty were trending more than #voting. So, our goal was simple – to bridge the gap between beauty and the ballot. To make voting just as trendy and beautiful. We wanted young women to not just look young, but to think young too.
We used smart illustrations to connect cricket and its elements to the type of charity work that would benefit from the match; be it education, medical aid or even setting up toilets and drinking water in villages. The result was a clear and powerful communication, that got everyone’s attention.

Background: Dark chocolates barely constitute 10% of the chocolate category in India. But recently, consumers, especially millennials, have begun embracing dark chocolate. Amul, Asia’s second largest dairy brand, has been making chocolates for over 30 years. It recently launched a variety of premium dark chocolates, including the very rare 90% dark chocolate.
Idea: Uninitiated people don’t know what to expect from dark chocolate. For them, the world of dark chocolates is uncharted and unfamiliar. Using the rarest of variants, the 90% Dark chocolate, we created a world filled with intrigue and mystique, seducing people to be a part of it, to come and get a glimpse of what lies on the other side.
