Lux Industries has roped in woman celebrity Jacqueline Fernandez to promote its men’s innerwear brand, Lux Cozi. To this effect, the brand has launched a new TVC campaign ‘Yeh Nahi Toh Kuch Nahi’ which has been created by Yellow Beetle Films and directed by Gauri Shinde.
The company aims to breaks gender stereotypes and marks a shift in their marketing by associating with a female celebrity for the first time in India to promote their men’s hosiery. The move is expected to appeal to the target audience and capture their attention, while also strengthening the brand’s connection with them.
Ashok Kumar Todi, Chairman, Lux Industries, stated, “This is the first time, a men’s hosiery brand has engaged with a women celebrity for promoting its products. As an innovative & consumer driven brand, we have always tried to meet the consumer demand by choosing our main protagonists based on their connection and pull with our target consumers. This time too, it’s no exception. We hope this will take the brand to newer heights and create a deeper connection with its discerning consumers,”
Speaking on the association & the launch of the new campaign, Saket Todi, Executive Director, Lux Industries said “As a brand, we are known for our innovation in the industry and this time, we wanted to break the old fashioned gender stereotype through the campaign and highlight how today’s women don’t hesitate in making the first move. Typically, innerwear brands portray conventional male-dominant imagery, but our film depicts a role reversal where we normalise and make the woman to lead. This is probably the first time where a men’s inner wear brand is showing a woman in lead. Our objective is to build a stronger connection with the consumers, and we are certain that this campaign will grab the eyeballs of the general mass.”
The TVC begins with Jacqueline Fernandez in a bedroom, organising her partner’s clothes in the closet. While doing so, she comes across his vest and begins thinking about him. We then see her excited with joy, grooving and dancing with her partner’s vest until the doorbell rings. She gives a sly smile and walks over to the door. In the back shot, we see Jacqueline standing with the guy as the Lux Cozi tagline emerges on the screen.
Deven Munjal, Yellow Beetle Films, said, “While we wanted the ad to be personal and playful in accordance with the story, the biggest challenge was creating a clutter-breaking campaign with Jacqueline being featured in the men’s innerwear category. Many women in our country shop for innerwear for the men in their households and that inspired us to build in the narrative & write the story. The pairing with Jacqueline at the helm is ideal and we had a great time in creating and writing this. We anticipate that everyone will enjoy watching the TVC as much as enjoyed making it.”
