Mumbai, India – Cleaning brand in India ChakaaChak has launched a new campaign that features three films, demonstrating the ease of cleaning with a healthy dose of wit and fun.

The campaign, which was created in collaboration with independent ad agency Infectious Advertising, showcases the brand’s endearing spin mop mascot, which is shown in a series of engaging home cleaning scenarios. It also aims to keep gender neutrality in mind, with the stories portraying men doing house cleaning to create a well-balanced perception in the masses.

Aditya Pittie, Pittie Group’s managing director, said that with the TVCs, they are envisioning taking a giant step in maximising their brand presence and capturing a large market share in the ever-growing cleaning utility market. 

“From revamping Chakaachak’s brand presence to unveiling TVCs, we are on the verge of creating a strong foothold in terms of brand loyalty, distribution and Pan India presence,” added Pittie.

Meanwhile, Ramanuj Shastry, Infectious Advertising’s co-founder and director, noted that these are exciting times to be a household cleaning brand as the demand for smarter, more efficient cleaning solutions grows exponentially. 

“Super kicked to help develop a campaign for ChakaaChak. It takes a brave client to buy fun films and a brilliant director like Niranjan Kaushik to push them to the next level. Delighted,’ said Shastry.

The TVCs will be aired on TV channels and digital platforms as part of the brand’s larger marketing campaign.

ASCI is a non-government and voluntary organization that acts as the country’s watchdog to the advertising industry, providing wide regulation to the sector to ensure legal, decent, and truthful implementation of ads. The council investigates complaints across all media such as print, TV, radio, and hoardings, as well as on ads disseminated on SMS, emails, and most especially on the internet. The council also checks for ethical advertising on product packaging, brochures, promotional material, and point of sale material. 

Nisha Singhania and Ramanuj Shastry, founding partners of Infectious Advertising, jointly said, “It’s an absolute honor to be brought on board as ASCI’s creative partner and we look forward to doing some path-breaking work for them.”

ASCI is very consistent in regularly launching campaigns and guidelines to ensure advertisers in the country are properly aligned to the ethical code of conduct.

Meanwhile, in February this year, in response to the rise of influencer marketing, it has released draft guidelines for branded content, calling for feedback from key stakeholders.
