STATUTORY
WARNING:
This
is only for those brave hearts who dare to witness
the POWER OF AN IDEA;
This
is only for those brave hearts who dare to witness
the POWER OF CHANGE.
There
is but one single question that keeps plaguing
Abhisheks mind, the head of an educational
institution, challenged by the traditional
physically bound class room teaching.
How
do I reach out to all those brave minds who desire
to fill their intellect with all those molecules
of knowledge that would free them from the shackles
of ignorance?
How
do I reach out to all those charged up soldiers
sitting in the remote villages of this beautiful
land who want to paint the world not with red
but with blue?
While
he ponders upon these inscrutable recurring questions
that keeps igniting inflammable emotions within
his otherwise peaceful bishop heart, he is suddenly
bestowed with that supreme thought; an idea that
transcends all physical distances and barriers,
thereby opening doors to one and all who desire
to be taught.
And
the idea is MOBILE TELEPHONY. Ho!! Ho!! What an
Idea!!!
No
matter where you are, who you are, there is a
possibility of education being opened up through
the power of mobile telephony. No one will go
uneducated now.
While
the teacher sits in the room addressing all those
tiny heads, there are millions of other tiny ears
who can listen to her now and learn; learn to
create an equal ground where they can stand tall
and proud along with their classroom compatriots.
Bang On!!!!
Review:
Idea Cellular has always fuelled its communication
strategy with championing, elevating and humane
thoughts across all campaigns.
Remember
the World sans Division campaign (caste
war)!!! It had definitely succeeded in lending
the brand stature and differentiation by moving
it beyond a transactional plane; and the Everyone
can communicate campaign (Taj film)!! Well
it opened the avenue of mobile telephony to one
and all (even the physically challenged), elevating
the brand to the realm of a liberating force.
And
now comes the new campaign, Education for
All; a campaign created by Lowe Lintas;
a campaign that so easily provides a solution
to that very complex problem which pull barricades
before India in its path to progress
LITERACY.
There are about 63 million children in India who
are denied education due to lack of infrastructure
and trained teachers. And the new campaign only
tells you how a technically unchallenged
country can create opportunities for its
every offspring who stands there with eyes wide
open, only to be enlightened with the words of
knowledge.
The
Idea campaigns have always captured the fancy
of millions, who appreciate the elevating, humane
idea behind its brand positioning
and messaging. The campaigns have also helped
us believe and build on the power of alternate
thinking.
Thus,
Ad Pick firmly states that through its campaigns
Idea has mightily elevated itself as a symbol
of a liberating force, a force that believes in
Ideas; a force that believes in change.
Congratulations
Lowe Lintas!!! Definitely fantastic work. What
an Idea after all!!!
Well,
let there be a toast raised to all those brave
hearts who stand tall to witness the power of
an Idea; the power of change.
