Dentsu Webchutney, a dentsuMB company and the digital creative agency from dentsu India, has launched the #SantaOpenToWork campaign for Swiggy Genie. It is a quirky and timely way of depicting how gift-givers can outsource all their delivery tasks to Swiggy Genie this Christmas, just the way Santa is.
At the heart of the campaign is a very fun, easter-egg laden ’video resume’ by Santa Claus himself, explaining his decision to move on, and rallying recruiters to ho-ho-hire him. What’s more, the video is accompanied by an actual LinkedIn profile which states Santa’s achievements with fun posts aimed at recruiters. Digital ads across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Wynk and Inshorts lead people to his video resume.
To create more buzz around the campaign, Swiggy has used their Genie/Instamart channels to drop unbranded flyers and business cards from Santa, with a special QR Code leading people to the video. There are even tear-able posters across multiple corporate offices, to target employers at the source. While Santa is #OpenToWork, Swiggy Genie is #OpenToDeliveries!
Here is the link to the film:
Sneha John, Director- Marketing, Swiggy said, “We wanted to remind Swiggy users and non-users alike that they can depend on Swiggy Genie to take care of gift deliveries and other chores this Christmas season. The #SantaOpenToWork campaign does just that, with some Christmas cheer and smart humour.”
Sanket Audhi, Creative Director, Dentsu Webchutney added, “Our starting point was quite simple: if Swiggy Genie is taking over deliveries, what will Santa Claus do? But we knew we had a winner when we thought of crafting the entire campaign around the #OpenToWork feature, which has become an instantly recognisable mnemonic. I hope people have as much fun watching the campaign as we had creating it.”
