Mumbai: – Nicotex, India’s leading name in smoking cessation therapy, has unveiled its new campaign ‘We Believe You Can’. Based on insights from true stories of people who have quit smoking, the campaign, for the first time, positions the brand as a friend and a consistent partner during the whole journey of quitting cigarettes, through real life situations of struggles with controlling the urge, lack of confidence and will power. This campaign marks a shift in the brand’s focus to a more people-centric narrative where it recognizes the struggles of those who are trying to quit smoking across every stage of the entire process. It approaches quitting cigarettes as a journey and not the ultimate step.
A television commercial has been developed as a part of the campaign. The newly launched campaign showcases different individuals undergo a personal struggle to quit smoking and their eventual will power to not give in to the urge, with Nicotex as their companion in fighting this battle. The TVC conveys that despite faltering, one cannot give in if he or she wishes to eventually give up smoking.
The eponymous message of the campaign– ‘We Believe You Can’ is targeted at every person who either wants to quit smoking or is already in the process and conveys that people on the path of quitting should carry a little belief along, for though it won’t happen in a day, it will eventually happen one day.
In addition to the TV commercial, this campaign will also leverage multiple digital mediums to amplify communication. Also, in alignment with the ethos of the campaign, the new Nicotex website has been re-designed to provide a full-fledged support framework for people trying to quit smoking or concerned family and friends. It ranges from counselling information to educational material and real-life stories specially curated for people at every stage of quitting with a fully functional chatbot that helps plan the process. The website is interactive and designed to engage with people to help them make an informed decision about quitting cigarettes.
