Demonstrate 'Nayi Soch' by celebrating the contribution of the mother through a thought-provoking statement - Made by Mom

BACKGROUND

Star Plus, through its content, has always supported the cause of gender equality, encouraging women to stand up for their identity. Star Plus, believes that when her limitless potential gets unshackled, she has the power to impact and influence her world.

On Women’s Day, Star Plus challenged age-old gender stereotypes with a global first thought of ‘&Daughters’

Taking this legacy forward, Star Plus demonstrated the philosophy of “Nayi Soch” by focusing on the role of the mothers and their ability to influence the individuality of men when they grow up

OBJECTIVE

Use Mother’s Day as an aperture to amplify the brand philosophy ‘Nayi Soch’ through a socially powered approach that uses the power of the medium to engage, excite & persuade.

Insight

Universally, a son's personality is a reflection of his upbringing, which in most cases is heavily influenced by the mother

Men grow up with a distinct sense of individuality, however, the attribution to the mother is often underplayed.

Idea

Celebrate the contribution of the mother leveraging Mother’s Day as an aperture through a thought-provoking statement - Made by Mom

A special mother’s day communication in the form of a music video celebrated the impact that of a mother on her child’s life. The film turned the spotlight on the learnings that the mother embodies in her son and the way they reflect in his upbringing, especially in context to how he treats other women in his life.

The intent was to take this message into the Indian mainstream and thus demanded an innovation true to it’s intent. The result was a first of a kind Facebook cover video by a brand in India. The effort was amplified on YouTube with a masthead that reminded the audience that it’s mother’s day and showcased the film.

Custom videos were shot exclusively for YouTube purposefully designed as skip ads focusing on characteristics that the child exhibits when he grows up. The effort drew in a tremendous response from the audience expressing their love on social media through #MadebyMom.

The inflection point for the campaign was architectured with lead characters from Star Plus shared heartfelt memories from their personal lives providing an ensemble of instances that the audience could relate & react to.

The timeline was flooded with responses in the form of selfies by the audience sharing aspects of their character that were #MadeByMom
