On the other hand, what's the funda for promoting Ek Ladki Anjaani Si, which is targeted at 15+ males and females and the mass segments? It is going to be viral and buzz marketing (just like in the case of Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahi). Groups of people will be planted in trains, buses and other public areas and will start talking about what will happen to the protagonist of the show - Anu. However, on-air promos will be the backbone of the campaign.
The channel is building intrigue around what is going to happen to Anu on 21 November, that will change her life forever? Teaser print and radio ads will be aired. "Mobile canters, human banners, ads on local cable channels, on-air promo ID, bugs, in-programme plugs, animated pop-ups and countdown to the show are what will drive our campaign for Ek Ladki Anjaani Si. Mobile telephony is another way by which we are looking at building consumer inclusion. All these ads prior to the launch of the show will generate curiosity about what is going to happen to Anu," says SET India creative director Anupama Mandloi.
SET India's website carries a poll that reads - "Which of these do you think will happen to Anu?"
- She becomes captain of Indian Cricket team
- She lands on the moon
- She marries Abhishek Bachchan
- None of the above
Mobile canters with Tarot Card readers and astrologers will do the round of three metros and generate curiosity on what is going to happen to Anu. "The aim of the campaign for Ek Ladki... is to drive eyeballs to the channel on the day of the launch," says Jaipuria.
Jaipuria also informs that towards the end of December another campaign for Ek Ladki... will be rolled out when the "plot thickens and becomes interesting."
