Brands Paint The Town Red This Holi

In recent years, the festival of colours has taken centre-stage for brands to engage with consumers and build a strong narrative. The list of brands taking this festival seriously is only on a rise. Here's a look at some of the best campaigns for Holi 2022

Koo’s Holi Anthem - #HarRangKiHoli Invites Indians to Celebrate the Colors of Joy in their Own Style

The Koo App has launched a rousing Holi anthem - #HarRangKiHoli - to stimulate Indians to celebrate the festival of colors in their own ways by flaunting their distinct traditions. #HarRangKiHoli - through influencers and celebs - weaves in cultural diversities and ethos from across India. From glimpses of Uttar Pradesh’s Lathmar Holi which is played with colors and sticks, to capturing Punjab’s Hola Mohalla which is an amalgamation of folk dance and martial arts, further panning down to Goa’s vibrant Shigmo where locals welcome the spring, to the Dol Jatra in West Bengal which includes a grand procession of Lord Krishna - the anthem aptly reflects the sentiment of ‘many cultures, one emotion’. 

 

The anthem invites Indians to exhibit the unique ways in which they celebrate the festival. Users on Koo - through hashtags like #Milerangmeratumhara #SabkiBoliHappyHoli #IndiaKiHoli - have been sharing videos and photographs which aptly capture their rituals, festive recipes, cuisines and heritage.

Surf excel’s new TVC is all about keeping your inner child alive

Growing older comes with a myriad of responsibilities. It also comes with pre-conceived notions of ‘acting your age’. What you should or should not be doing, in order to fit into the propriety structures that we have been conditioned towards. But we occasionally find ourselves spontaneously reminded of the days of climbing trees, splashing in rain puddles, or hiding colours in our pockets to stealthily include someone into our Holi celebrations. It is indeed the moments of letting the inner child out in spontaneous abandon that make our lives fuller. With the festival of colours fast approaching, Surf excel inspires us to keep our inner child alive and give into these playful impulses, age no-bar.

 

Like every year, Surf excel is back with a Holi campaign bolstering its unique 'Daag Achhe Hain' brand proposition. The new 360 campaign shows a heart-warming gesture by a little girl to include her aunt in the buoyant celebration amongst children. The spirited child protagonist is seen playing colours with her friends when she notices her aunt setting the table of colours and sweets, and enjoying their game subconsciously wanting to join in. When the little girls insists that her aunt join them, the aunt moves away, saying it’s not her age to play like them. As the girl watches her aunt consciously throw away the colours she had unconsciously picked up in her palms, she covers herself with the colours and runs to her aunt for a hug. This action imprints the aunt’s clothes with a colourful silhouette of the child. Pointing towards the imprint, the girl suggests that this child could play with them. The heart-warming message “Jo rang bachpan lautaye, woh rang achhe hain” makes us examine the boundaries that keep us away from finding the joy of keeping our childhood alive.    

The campaign goes live across TV & outdoor media from 1st March.

In 2022, Enjoy the Festival of Colours with Plix #HoliSplash

Plix is asking people to take the #HoliSplash this year and go natural while celebrating the festival of colors. The campaign aims to make people aware and protect them from the skin, hair and other issues caused by chemical-based colours and Holi products used to celebrate the festival.


Skin and hair problems are common after Holi celebrations, as the chemical-based colours seep into pores and hair roots. There has been a lot of focus on this in recent times and many are switching to products that are gentle on the body and the environment. But this is also the first Holi after pandemic restrictions. This is where Plix’ #HoliSplash campaign is encouraging people to go natural. The idea is to promote wholehearted celebrations that embraces the natural, chemical free way be it in colors or food & drink or skin & hair or nutrition.
