Life doesn’t get in the way of your HBO viewing in this new campaign out of DDB Mudra West
DDB Mudra West has released a new campaign for HBO South Asia to promote HBO’s belief that nothing should come in the way of entertainment.
The HBO Premium Channels campaign is launched with the aim of making sure that audiences have an uninterrupted ad-free viewing experience. There are two spots in the campaign – HBO Agriculture and HBO Super Clone. HBO Super Clone is a clone that manages everything in life so that one is not interrupted while watching TV. HBO Agriculture is a set of plants that grow foods like popcorn, burgers, etc., so that hunger doesn’t interrupt one from watching TV.
The HBO Ultimate Couch is a couch that has just about the whole house built into it – dumbbell holders so that one doesn’t have to get up to workout, a wash basin so that one doesn’t need to get up to go to the restroom, an in-built kitchen and phone charging station and much more.
Monica Tata, Managing Director, South Asia for HBO India said both the HBO Premium channels maximize the entertainment experience by airing HBO Original content and blockbuster movies 100% break-free: “We have initiated a multimedia campaign developed by DDB Mudra to promote the visibility and popularity of this unique proposition of HBO Defined and HBO Hits across platforms including print, cinema, TV, digital and social media. Our aim is to spoil our viewers with the very best non-stop, high quality programming, thus providing an unparalleled viewing experience.”
“Through this campaign, we want to establish the HBO Premium channels as your most preferred destination for break free entertainment. And to promote this belief and product of ours, we’ve come up with the idea of HBO Premium Accessories – that makes sure that life doesn’t come in the way of your entertainment either. Our creative approach for this campaign drives home this point, in a fun way. Positioned at the young adult segment, the campaign empowers the viewers to reap the benefits of a completely enhanced ad-free viewing experience.”
Rahul Mathew, Creative Head, DDB Mudra West, said: “It’s not often that a channel can truly boast of a viewing experience and not merely bleat about its content. And we wanted to make sure that the communication reflects the richness and the uniqueness of the channel. HBO premium accessories as an idea does that and allows for many interesting executions in different media.”
The TVCs will be run on the HBO premium.com webpage and will include visitor engagement and interaction through gamification of elements from the TVCs.
