Indian Social Advertisements – Waking India up?

Media October 2, 2009 by Nishitha

Nowadays we find a lot of advertisements with a social message i.e. conveying a social message of creating awareness among the masses of India about key issues which are of prime importance and act as a democratic right to the common man.

These social advertisements operate as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activity for corporate. The latest ads which we see are Tata Tea “Jaago Re” campaign, Airtel ads, and many more.

Many companies are creating ads with a CSR message in order to generate a sense of conscientiousness and trust in the brand while some other are made from the Government’s side. Such advertisements help in establishing an image with a brand and helps the common man relate the brand with it.

These ads create a huge impact on the mass audiences of India. For example, the Tata Tea “Jaago re” campaign which was aimed at making people aware about exercising the right to vote was well received by viewers. Hence such kinds of CSR ads help in generating top-of-mind recall for these brands.

The recent commercial talks about individuals needing to broaden with changing times. It shows two friends sitting in a restaurant and one of them tells the other friend to have a look at the gay couple on the other table.
