Bangalore: Glance, the world’s leading screen zero platform that provides digital content on the lock screens of smartphones, has today announced the launch of its multi-media advertising campaign “Ye Glance Hai”. Crafted by DDB Mudra to communicate the exciting possibilities of content delivered on the locked screen, the campaign is brought alive with vibrance, which is intrinsic to the brand, by several well-known names in the world of entertainment and sports.
The light-hearted campaign co-relates ‘Glance’ with familiar words and their quirky representations, in a way that India can relate to. The tagline “Bar Bar Dekho” is to signify how as users we keep discovering more and more on our phones which gets further amplified by the lock screen of smartphones, as in this case. The faces of the campaign have been carefully chosen from different segments such as fitness, sports, and entertainment. They include Telegu superstar Rana Daggubati; one of the biggest hitters of IPL Hardik Pandya; versatile Bollywood actor Rajkummar Rao; popular television actress Hina Khan; globally acclaimed Indian comedian Vir Das; Tamil model and actress Trisha, and Ali Fazal, popular actor and model from Lucknow. Their characters mostly depict their real and reel-life personalities, making it even more exciting for consumers to watch.
The ad campaign has been launched across channels which includes television, digital platforms and various OTT platforms to capture the minds of the new-age audience.
“We wanted to keep it pithy. We wanted to entertain. And most importantly, we wanted to leave the name ‘Glance’ in the mind of consumers. We realized that a product as rich and varied as this (Glance) needed to be experienced. So, we decided to a simple, running gag that entertains every time and just leaves enough intrigue on the table for you to check out the product,” said Visnhu Srivatsav, Creative Director – DDB Mudra Group.
