IndiaMart says 'Kaam yahin banta hai'

The film was released on the portal's  official YouTube channel on 21 November, it launched on radio on 27 November and was aired on TV on 28 November.

 

The campaign looks to straddle print, TV, radio, outdoor and a digital mix of social media (Twitter, Facebook and YouTube). The ad has been to created to target the 'new age buyer, who demands hassle-free buying, either to fulfill his business or personal requirements', informed an official release. 

 

The ad has been filmed at a location which seems to be a manufacturing house featuring actor Irrfan Khan. He talks about the ease with which he buys 100 quintals of fabric with just a few clicks. He describes the same ease for ordering furniture for office, buttons for shirts and also party hats for the manager's birthday party.  Just as he starts talking about buying threads, his boss appears looking like he means business. The boss informs that the ACs aren't working and new ones should be ordered. Irrfan assures his boss that it will be done right away. The ad film ends with a voice over by the actor saying, 'IndiaMart.com. Kaam yahin banta hai.'

 

Sumit Bedi, vice president – marketing, IndiaMart, said, “We are extremely thrilled to roll out our first multi-media campaign, which focuses on increasing the brand awareness for IndiaMart, and also aims at establishing a stronger connect with the buyers. According to a recent global research, businesses spend 52% of their time in identifying the right business partners. This is where IndiaMart comes into the picture. A move in this direction, the TVC seeks to highlight the fact that IndiaMart allows buyers to shorten the time they spend in doing the same and find genuine sellers with help of just a click.”

 

He added, “Our brand thought ‘Kaam yahin banta hai’ perfectly captures the essence of IndiaMart and how it has made possible for businesses to get their work done in no time. Irrfan has lent realism to our brand, with his extremely effective style of communicating messages, with which a common man is able to connect. Along with this, I am confident that the right blend of mass media channels would ensure that we reach out to all and clearly convey what we stand for.”

The TVC is targeted at the smart buyers who are looking for a much reliable, quick & effective solution for all their key buying requirements.
