VIP has launched what it claims to be the world's lightest strolley under the brand name 'Superlite' and has unveiled an animation based TVC, created by Publicis Ambience.
The TVC aims to position VIP as a 'sunshine brand' and describes little moments of everyday life that are touched by happiness in the presence of a VIP.
This is the first TVC by Publicis Ambience on VIP after it won the account post a multi-agency pitch, about 3-4 months ago.

Commenting on the TVC, Ashish Khazanchi, vice chairman and national creative director, Publicis Ambience said, "VIP is a happy cosmopolitan brand and this imagery was incorporated in their baseline 'Happy Journey'. Their brand strategy already gave them a distinct personality. Psychographically, the kind of people that we're trying to target with this campaign are the 'zinda dil' ones, who carry a smile on their face wherever they go. There is a lot of optimism in them and they would like to spread joy wherever they go."
Khazanchi said that considering the brand's 'sunshine world' approach, the agency was sure about making an animated television commercial. "We wanted a new look - so we required animation which was child-like, very fresh. So we did character development and various animation tests. The animation was done in Paris," he said.
Vinod Iyer of Lemon Yellow Sun Films has directed the television commercial.
