With this new Dulux Velvet Touch TVC, we hope to motivate our consumers to not just decorate their walls, but to cherish their well-deserved accomplishments and success.”
According to Parth Udia, Head of Marketing, Decorative Paints, AkzoNobel India, “Our consumer understanding has revealed that personal taste and its expression in the beauty of one’s home is intrinsic to how today’s consumers behave. Considering the fact that Dulux Velvet Touch has been closely linked with fashion and aesthetics due to its distinctive positioning, it is a conscious attempt to steer the brand towards a more relatable insight of the users’ desire to portray their achievements. The brand’s journey thus far had helped it position itself strongly on being stylish and creatively inspired; our attempt this time-around was to design a narrative that scored high on relatability. Thus, the concept ‘Glow of Success’ was born, highlighting Dulux Velvet Touch’s best-in-class sheen and effectively becoming the chosen brand for those who wish to make their homes glow to match the success they have achieved.”
