India – Samsung and Cheil India has announced the creation of the ‘No So Silent Library’, a silent nook for book lovers as part of Samsung’s participation in the Jaipur Literature Fest, one of the biggest literary festivals in the country, as well as to promote its Galaxy Buds2 Pro earbuds.

In the campaign, Samsung had stationed Galaxy Buds2 Pro with Active Noise Cancellation earbuds, along with Samsung Galaxy S9 series tabs at some the noisiest places in the city. People were invited to come and experience the library with a teaser message – Any place is a good place to read. 

Upon plugging in the Buds2 Pro and choosing an audiobook from the Galaxy S9 series tabs, a literal library came up around them, further building on the ambiance to read. All the while subtly highlighting the features of the products.

Aditya Babbar, vice president, head of product and marketing at Samsung said, “Samsung has always set the benchmark when it comes to innovation and making technology accessible and appealing for everyone. With our association with Jaipur Literature festival, which has gained international recognition for fostering a unique blend of literary and cultural experiences, we displayed how innovative technologies can bring meaningful changes in our user’s lives.”

He added, “With the ‘Not So Silent Library’ campaign we show-cased how Galaxy Buds2Pro with enhanced 360 immersive audio and intelligent Audio Noise Cancelation (ANC) and Galaxy Tab S9 redefines the limits of possibility by setting up an ambient environment where avid book lovers could enjoy their favourite audiobooks, without any disturbance.”

Meanwhile, Vikash Chemjong, chief creative officer at Cheil India said, “The Not So Silent Library created a unique, noiseless reading experience for book lovers across Jaipur and they loved it! Social platforms were abuzz with mentions of the Not So Silent Library and the Internet at large celebrated the idea. The Not So Silent Library ended up creating a lot of noise for Samsung!”

New Delhi, India – Advertising agency Cheil India announced it has won the mandate for Gourmet Investments Pvt. Ltd. (GIPL) to create a digital campaign to launch their new restaurant brand, P.F. Chang’s, in India.

Cheil India’s digital campaign for GIPL leveraged the CGI format to bring attention to P.F. Chang’s launch. Standing 30 feet tall, the computer-generated version of P.F. Chang’s golden horse mascot known as ‘Standing Guard’ was stationed outside of the CSMT station in Mumbai.

The Standing Guard CGI version also roamed the streets, soon stopping at its destination at The One World Place, Lower Parel, where the new P.F. Chang’s restaurant in India is located.

Cheil India’s partnership with GIPL comes as the agency continues to grow its roster of clients through its assortment of creative, media, data, activation, and retail capabilities.

Ramit Bharti Mittal, executive chairman and director at Gourmet Investments Pvt. Ltd., said, “We are excited to bring P.F. Chang’s to India, and our search ended with appointing Cheil India for this campaign. We hold a curious and celebratory attitude towards food and the experience, which has allowed P.F. Chang’s to win over hearts of people not only with the distinct menu but also the soulful hospitality. We’re excited to do the same in India. We have full confidence in Cheil’s capabilities in handling the P.F. Chang’s India launch campaign, and we are looking forward to this association.”

Meanwhile, Amit Nandwani, national creative director at Cheil India, said, “When it came to announcing the brand’s arrival in Mumbai, we wanted to cut through the clutter in the digital space. Rich CGI format seemed like a great option, but then we wanted to go beyond the usual format. So, we created a narrative using the mascot that could pique the curiosity of the netizens and start conversations on social media.”

Speaking on the campaign, Neeraj Bassi, chief growth officer at Cheil India, also said, “P.F. Chang’s is a renowned brand loved all over the world, and we are excited to partner with Gourmet Investments Pvt. Ltd. for announcing their arrival in Mumbai. They are known for their unique, original taste and flavour, and we wanted their India launch campaign idea to reflect the same distinctness. We are eager to create work that sets new benchmarks within the food and beverage industry. This partnership is also a first for us in the F&B category, which is a dynamic space.”
