Asian Paints - Colour Ki Lari

The Insight

• It is said that Goddess Lakshmi visits the cleanest house first on Diwali

• This is why we all keep our homes fresh, clean and tidy just before Diwali

• Common things people do to welcome the Goddess are- Rangoli’s outside the house- Light a string of Diyas- Do a complete home makeover

The first name that comes to mind when we think of Home makeovers is Asian Paints

The Objective

• Apart from nuclear families there are newly married couples and youngsters (staying on rent) who are looking for easy home makeover solutions. How do we catch their attention?

• How do we reinforce the strong brand connect between Diwali and Asian Paints with a younger audience present on Facebook?

• How do we achieve the above without being too direct, technical or salesy.

The Big Idea

Lari is the most popular fire cracker that comes to mind when you think of Diwali.

Once you light it there is a domino effect. Lots of small firecrackers add up to make a big impact.

The same way in which a message goes viral on Facebook. One user initiates a conversation. His friends join in, followed by the friends friends.
