The Challenge

Complete Re-Branding & Creative Transformation from Perception Re-Shaping to Transition of 55-year old iconic brand General Tyre required.

Research shows that General Tyre has a weak brand persona brand imagery brand engagement and brand identity as today’s youth feel it’s a brand for the older generation not communicating to them at all.

GTR

The Solution

The re-branding, creative transformation & perception reshaping of General Tyre to a purpose-led brand with a new brand name that derived its own unique brand culture was the perfect strategic direction to be taken, considering the future product line extension in the Automotive category.

Our Approach

We need to define a brand purpose & determine its culture that not only gives rebirth to the iconic brand General Tyre through its transition into the purpose-led brand GTR.

GTR gives youth the ability to move forward, alleviating their worries by making life safer on the wheels, and empowering them in every journey to reach their ultimate destination, thus enabling them to achieve their goals and dreams.

ICI Dulux Pentalite – Ghar To Sab Ko Pyara Ha

ICI Paints, which was later acquired by AkzoNobel, is one of the world’s leading industrial companies. It had for some time struggled with ICI’s Pentalite Classic brand. Although it had scale and a powerful global footprint, it was struggling to turn this into a successful product in Pakistan due to a higher price than other paints.

Using our Strategic Toolkit, unearthing the IDEA-LOGY, the affluent markets regard their homes as a form of art and one of the ways they outshine their peers.

We built our proposition using the culture of high art summed up as ‘MY HOME IS A CLASSIC’. Using ‘Gulgee’, Pakistan’s no. 1 artist we told the story of shining out with the brand and the painting with the brand as nothing less than a work of art which propelled our brand into double digit revenue growth.

Won The Best Global Campaign Award

Result

The business derived significant financial benefit from this approach, hitting 4X estimated sales and with brand share rising for the portfolio overall in the market as well.

Campaign Won The Best Own Regional Award

Ideation & Storytelling

We unearthed that the brand needed a purpose beyond ‘showing control over diabetes in your lifestyle,’ a feature-based communication that wasn’t motivating.

Unearthing BRAND IDEOLOGY insights from our audiences revealed that what Diabetic people wanted was a means where “Diabetes Shouldn’t Stop Your Performance In Life,” a CULTURAL STRATEGY which we encompassed as “To bring inspiration and innovation to every diabetic in the world” with our Brand’s Purpose as “Help People With Diabetes Keep Performing In Life.”

Waseem Akram, a star cricketer with Diabetes, was chosen to lead the campaign as the HERO. We showed him as a golfer, instead of cricket, as someone who has never given up on the things he loved and has kept performing in all areas of his life despite having Diabetes, with

Accu Chek Performa is a natural fit for helping him lead a performance-oriented life. We followed up with regular everyday people who were winning in life despite having Diabetes.

We developed the 360º Marketing / Advertising Campaign from TVC, Print, Outdoor, Merchandising and On Ground Activations from and won the hearts and wallets of people with Diabetes everywhere.

Result

The campaign instantly connected with people as it was for the first time that Diabetes was not shown as a debilitating disease but as one that could be managed and still help people keep on top of their lives.

Creativecom also won the “Best Regional Award” for this campaign, and the communication was selected by Roche worldwide for airing in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Under the leadership of filmmaker Ehmer Kirmani, MI Films Worldwide teamed up with Avi Karpick, who has worked globally as a renowned cinematographer and director on hundreds of large-scale and award-winning advertising campaigns.

The film production team shot the 2 min spot in Thailand highlighting four delicious flavors – Mangos from Pakistan, Pineapple From Indonesia, Grapes From Italy and Apples from Greece – these convenient, single-serve juice boxes were shown to package and deliver only the most fruity, delicious and refreshing taste from all over the world. A nutritional value people can feel good about serving.

We have captured cinematic shots of landscapes, orchards, fields, farms & vineyards and people of Greece, Indonesia, Italy & Pakistan, sweeping shots of settings and environments with glimpses of faces, shots of famous landmarks, interactions with the orchards and ripe fruit and playing with sun flares & reflections to give an artistic feel and transition shot with water to create a dreamy sequence.

Once it’s come to beauty product shots, high-speed fruits & juices splashes colliding, diving and gliding shots which have created the wow factor in the film.

In short, Avi Karpick rightly believed this was not a story that needed to be developed and told but a beautiful, inspiring combination of fleeting impressions to portray the various countries in an atmospheric and inspirational way, almost poetic in nature and indeed derived it accordingly.

It was an exciting project with a lot of learnings while working with the world’s best commercial & tabletop director Avi Karpick; his filmmaking expertise & rich experience depict his magical direction right from defining the treatment & mood of the film to the shooting days.

360º Intergrated Event Marketing & Management

The Biggest & Largest Event Of The Decade

Entertaining Over One Million People

The Dolphin Show International was the biggest and largest entertainment event of the decade produced on a scale never attempted or successfully implemented in Pakistan in 2013.

Media Idee worked on the ideation to bring the series of international events to entertain and enlighten the viewers with world-class live performances, considering the limited entertainment available to the people of Pakistan.

The Dolphin Show International was the joint venture between Media Idee and Moon Builders in partnership with Pakistan Navy and Pakistan Maritime Museum.

Media Idee, as the organizer, made the impossible happen from ideation, event marketing, sponsorships, and event management; besides, handling the logistics of the transfer alone meant working with international governments, chartering planes and getting permissions from 14 different ministries in Pakistan.

Beyond that, while working with the partner construction company, the Media Idee’s events team also took it upon themselves to guarantee the stadium’s design, construction, and general audience comfort.

Media Idee amplification team has worked & executed 360º marketing campaign, branding and promotional components from print, outdoor, tvc, website, ticket booking software and apps, digital marketing, marketing collateral, venue branding and merchandising.

We also managed the promotional activations in schools, colleges, universities, malls, and float roadshows to create the hype of the events and made the ticket selling & show bookings too.

We also handled the corporate marketing & show bookings, besides managing the school’s show bookings, operations and logistics.

Online & online tickets selling at the venue and outstation ticket booths were also placed and managed in different parts of the city while easing the people to buy tickets. TCS was the official courier partner of Dolphin Show International for online ticket bookings and dispatches.

We have also run celebrity and celebrity endorsement campaigns on mainstream media to create a buzz in the market. The marketing and PR blitz ensured that the top media companies, including Geo, Ary Digital, Dawn, Express, Jang, Tribune, and international media, covered the event and over 1000 blogs and sites wrote about the subsequent shows their experiences.

School shows were held in the morning and reached over 1500 schools in Karachi during the 90 days. Over 500,000 students watched the live show with their schools, while over a million people during the general shows.

The Challenge

The entrance of multinational brands like Fair & Glow (Fair & Lovely), Garnier, Ponds, and other regional players into the beauty cream segment by launching their product line extension, even few with the same proposition, promise, product offerings, specifications and packaging format openly challenges the market leader Golden Pearl Beauty Cream.

Golden Pearl Cosmetics required an Inspiring Brand Culture of its own to create a substantial differential from the competitor’s brands, strengthening Golden Pearl Beauty Cream’s leadership positioning, being the Number 1 Selling Multi-Billion Value Winning Brand.

Besides that, Golden Pearl Cosmetics also needs a perception re-shaping by uplifting their overall master brand identity, imagery & communications, enabling them to compete with the best considering their upcoming skin and hair care launches, which multinational brands currently predominate.

In short, a need for powerful, aspiring, captivating storytelling that depicts the Brand Culture of its own to create inspiring brand imagery.

This project was precisely the challenge the client gave us to thrive on and being the Brand Culture Agency, we were very excited to accept it and loved working on this exciting project.

Cultivating Purpose & Brand Culture

The strongest actions for a woman is to love herself, be herself and shine amongst those who never believed she could, and “Beauty” is the platform that has always been likened to a glow…an aura.

Derived through our Cultural Branding Marcom Toolkit “Brand Culture Hive,” we worked out the brand culture strategy to build & own “Glamourama Culture” and by crafting unique storytelling with the purpose of “Shine Like A Pearl.”

Crafting Ideation & Storytelling

Golden Pearl Beauty Cream Presents “GLAMOURAMA”, storytelling about Beauty Glamour & Performance delivered by an international celebrity film star cum model.

This special cocktail is signaling a new direction for Golden Pearl Beauty Cream, the fusion of The West and The East, Beauty and Glamour … a fusion of the legendary late singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s musical composition, an exquisite action that’s cut to arguably the most famous song “Husne Jana Ki Taareef Mumkin Naheen…Aafreen Aafreen” It’s impossible to praise the beauty of a woman…Praise to the Creator Praise to the Creator.

One of the best-ever songs about beauty and the charm of women, a stellar arrangement of spectacular vocals, soundtrack, and lyrical poetry will make this an all-singing and all-dancing masterpiece.

A Strong Woman…

Looks A Challenge In The Eye…

And Gives It A Wink

Celebrity Film Star Elnaaz Norouzi is a woman of power. She’s one of the upcoming celebrity film star-cum-models of Bollywood & Lollywood. She has to exhibit that subtle blend of confidence and authenticity that makes a genuine and superb performance.

She brings her own energy, power, and personality to the piece one by one. Confidence shines through her beauty and radiates from her glowing skin and glamorous & charming looks.

The trick is to channel her charisma into a performance that’s powerful and yet accessible, a tricky paradox. We love that mix of beauty, confidence, and style gets right to the heart of the piece.

We Must Learn Who Is Gold And Who Is Gold Plated

Elnaaz Norouzi drives the storytelling of a celebrity model-cum-film star-cum-global influencer and legit beauty goddess. She reveals the real magic of her glamorous & charming looks, which she gets from Golden Pearl Beauty Cream to enhance her star power to “Rise & Shine” with confidence & style.

It is all about creating an aura of sensuality, glamour, beauty, and style. The idea is the perfect medium for our actress to reveal her beauty – her secret of soft and glowingly beautiful skin.

It made a subtle yet profound connection with our audience on serval levels; aesthetic, emotional, and rational. We are all in our element at the intersection of Beauty, Glamour, Style, Performance, and Celebrity.

Gorgeous Look Is The Best Revenge

Film Director’s Note

This film was exactly the challenge I always thrived on; we were signaling a new direction for Golden Pearl Beauty Cream through this special cocktail of “Rise & Shine” through Beauty & Glamour, Style & Performance, we will set a new benchmark for beauty work in the market.

The transformation of the celebrity fusion of the West Beauty goddess to the East – Bollywood Glamorous Star through capturing inspiring storytelling of her beauty, style & performance has made this a world first.

We’re used to formulaic beauty celebrity endorsement commercials made on a single set with the usual application shots followed by the girl endorsing the brand.

This blows that paradigm wide open with a freshness and dynamic execution to win the target’s heart, mind… and purses.

Ehmer Kirmani, Film Director, Chief Creative & Storyteller

The Result

Golden Pearl Glamourama not only built the desired inspiring brand imagery of master brand Golden Pearl but overall strengthened the leadership portfolio, being the No.1 Selling Beauty Brand by effectively accelerating its 2.5X growth versus the industry growth.

The communications proved to be a super hit, generating the highest ever recall of the brand and becoming the signature communications of Golden Pearl.

The Glamouramam communications also helped generate the sales volumes of other personal & beauty care products offered by Golden Pearl, from body lotions, shampoo, face washes, and beauty soaps.

Considering the above facts, the client extended the commercial communications contracts to air Glamourama Communications for the next two years.

Execution Is Everything..

Fantastic skin is always vital; that’s why her complexion appeared flawless, healthy, and soft, with warm skin tones but not heavy. Eye contour mascara adds presence to the eyes and lipstick. Well-balanced – did not overtake the hair.

The major challenge was handling the transformation of celebrity looks & makeovers from Greek goddess to Bollywood star that compliments the styling, glamour & beauty.

MI Films collaborated with Glam Lead Fashion and Celebrity Makeup artist Rebecca Doney from the UK. Rebecca has been a professional make-up and hair artist for over 15 years and began her career assisting Gucci Westman, Hannah Murry, Miranda Joyce, and Anita Keeling. Rebecca has traveled internationally with an extensive Bollywood career working with A-list celebrities such as llenan D’Cruz, Anushka Sharma, Shraddha Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, and John Abraham, to name a few.

Dress For Success | Style Gurus

The celebrity style guru Salvi Chandrshekhar is famously notorious for his magic in Bajirao mastani, Bhootnath returns and many more. At the same time, the Thai fashion king elaborated on the western art of styling.

We created the transformation from Greek goddess to Eastern beauty glamor. Salvi and Pang collaborated to deliver the charisma of east and west fusion. Stunning dresses and, alluring makeup, flirting jewelry created the destined vanity in the production.

We have created a fantastic evening dress out of light floating fabric to make our heroine look stunning.

We used a high-speed wind machine to give Elnaaz that stylized greek goddess looks with White Flowing Gown, and the long tail Burgundy Dress looks even more impressive as it flows and billows around her with every step and as she nimbly leaps into the air

Locations & Set Designs

The Director & film production team scouted the locations that have given the perfect backgrounds once we started capturing the journey sequence of beauty from West to East.

From the beauty of nature, castle, art & cultural building, stylized bedroom set & furniture, and Bollywood style performance stage set looks convincing and glamorous and provide a stylish backdrop to integrate the action organically into the environment with a touch of gold.

We got the details right through world-class art direction and meticulous planning.

Two Days Rehearsals

We had three days of rehearsal before the shoot to make everything perfect, once capturing the journey of the beautiful goddess from west to east.

To achieve the desired signature expressions and choreographic dance movements and stylize walking with the glamorous-looking shots and performance, the director & choreographer have conducted three full days of rehearsal sessions with the celebrity star and models from Dance Queen Group before the shoot.

During the rehearsal, the director also made the fashion designers & makeup artists give a demo of multiple looks & styling of the celebrity.

To ensure the goddess’ stunning transformation from the west to the east with flawless styling and gorgeous appearances before the shoot.

Sound

Audio is vital to creating the right emotional mood and tone. Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is truly a voice of god as he chants, “praising of beauty is not possible” in Urdu, taken from a song.

As a Qawwali and Sufi music pioneer, he introduced this genre to the western world and is still recognized as one of the most powerful voices in the music industry and still known as the ‘King of Qawwali”.

Pakistani pop combines traditional Pakistani classical music and Western jazz and rock influences and that’s why we have shown the model’s journey from a western to an eastern look … a fusion like Nusrat Fateh Ali’s musical composition.

The audio design would help amplify the impact and fluidity and add additional textural layering to the visuality. The right ambient SFX punctuation is critical to the believability of the narrative and underpins Elnaaz Norouzi’s dialogue with the camera and the announcer voiceover.

Light/Camera & Editing

The whole feel was polished realism … a beautiful woman refusing to let anyone define her. The light would simultaneously be ‘real’ and ‘beauty’, not fake.

The look would be more theatrical as we have gone for a more formal beauty set-up. The light on the face & hair would remain gorgeous all through. Contrasts and shadows would have created intimacy.

Technically, we used different focal lengths and angles to create a highly cinematic look and feel.

Telling the story needs a rich signature cinematic language steeped in storytelling. The editing has been done with rich, sharp, and intelligent, like some slow-paced cinematic & beautiful music video clips. Instead, it was a filmic study of life. We wanted her confident personality and glamour to shine through.

Premium Cinematic Chic

Visually, the film was an eclectic mix of high-end beauty and a premium blockbuster. It had a strong beauty appeal running throughout, but it also had a music video look and felt – high energy and high production value.

Every frame was unique, visually and emotionally, perfectly planned and executed. We have looked for each shot’s best angles, lenses, and perspectives.

Our priority was always to capture every beautiful detail, from the celebrity fabulous to the gleaming textures of her dress.
Lighting was vital to making Elnaaz look even more stunning. Her skin looked immaculate, perfectly smooth, radiant & beautiful.

To amplify the cinematic feel of our Glamaourama film, we have taken visuals from atmospheric wides of the grand locations & nature, stunning villa vistas, cultural architecture, classical stairs, traditional corridors, and Bollywood-style film sets. We have blended all these with intense storytelling mediums and intimate close-ups.

Elnaaz’s beautiful, strong eyes, the blades reflected light, her stunning dress shifting and changing shape with her movements. We increased the cinematic ante further by playing with camera speed, dropping some slow-motion moments into the real-time footage to add greater dynamism.
