Lowe Lintas created a new ad campaign titled "Soch Badlo" for Tata Tea's 25th anniversary that continues their message against corruption while also strengthening their connection with women customers. The ad uses the metaphor of making tea with turmoil in the vessel to represent how turmoil in the nation can make people notice issues they otherwise wouldn't. It focuses on positively reframing challenges in India.
2. REVIEW OF Ad.
Ad. EXPLAINTION:
Lowe Lintas has created a new film on the 25th anniversary of Tata Tea, which continues the
‘Jaago Re’ proposition. The campaign titled ‘Soch Badlo’ continues its battle against
corruption, and is also now focused on strengthening the brand’s connection with the women
who buys into their brand.
The film begins with a man, who had just read the daily newspaper, talking in a frustrated tone
about the daily dosage of news reports about scams. As he asks his wife for a cup of tea, she
asks him to take a look at the boiling water and talks about the need to look at the turmoil in
the actual vessel in which the tea is prepared do we get an enjoyable cup of tea. She uses this as
a metaphor to explain that turmoil is good. She adds that just like turmoil in a vessel ensures
and guarantees a wonderful cup of tea, so does turmoil in our nation makes us notice what we
would not have otherwise.
3. POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE POINTS OF THE AD.
1. As we all know that the ads of Tata Tea is based on the awareness and their punch line
is “JAAGO RE” , this new one is also following the same path. The campaign titled
‘Soch Badlo’ continues its battle against corruption.
2. This ad focuses on the women who deals in their brand and is shown that the women
are smart enough to see the better half of the issues which are happening around in
India. This gives a sense of belongingness to the women and indirectly the sales will be
increased.
3. The idea, the creativity is amazing as the process of making the tea is linked with the
affairs of India.
4. The dialogues used are effective enough to explain the process of changing the nation
and making it better and also develop a hope for the same among the people.
5. The family shown is educated. If a poor family which is not educated and is suffering at
a higher level than that of normal ones would have been shown than the advertisement
would have been much effective.

The ad is for the publicity of hajmola tablets. People love to see the ads which are linked to
them in a way and this ad has shown all the food stuffs, of all religions, and also the people of
all ages, going to office or teenagers sitting in a canteen. So people will feel connected to the
actors and will do the same i.e. will have hajmola after eating food.
2. Ad. Of Tanishq:-
The new ad of Tanishq Mia has a good concept. The confusion of girls shown in the ad about
the clothes and accessories is very true and the new product Tanishq Mia is the solution as this
will go with all clothing styles. Girls will thus be attracted to buy the product.

unique.
