360 Degree Brand Stewardship  Asian Paints  Cadbury, 7

 Fevicol  Perfetti  Hutch  Close Up  Nestle  Ford Fiesta  Hutch faced the challenge of building brand preference, having to rely on a generic promise of a good network  Using the metaphor of a boy and his dog's unconditional support to highlight the omnipresent nature of the Hutch network, the agency team was able to create 360-degree communication.  It not only succeeded in creating brand preference far in excess of its nearest competitors and increased the subscriber base by 20%, but also generated incredible buzz O&M – PINK CAMPAIGN FOR HUTCH The Hutch Pink Story...... “It doesn't matter if you are Black or white, but it surely matters if you are Orange or Pink,”  Hutch revamping its product to get rid of the brand name Orange and bring it under the

same umbrella as the other 12 circles in the country.  But why pink in particular?  Ogilvy and Mather (O&M) in collaboration with London-based corporate identity firm Wolff Olins  The new colors will reflect the cohesive face of the new Hutch. THE HUTCH PINK STORY….SO WHY PINK AND BLUE? -CLIENT SERVICING AT ITS BEST.

HUTCH – O&M [Wolf Ollins]  Both pink and blue are new-age colors, increasingly being used in new media 8

 Blue is said to be the color of success and prosperity as well as a color that has a universal appeal and Blue also depicts a connection with the masses.  Pink represents strength, and yet has a young and trendy feel.  It is an emotional color used mostly during festivities such as birthdays and Valentines Day, both aspects which are important for the telecom firm.  The execution involved, on a purely communicative level, outdoor advertising, television, print media, and even signage – changing the signs on every Hutch shop across the country.  "It's pink!" – RADIO MIRCHI ad.  From the Web site to the letterhead to the CEO's visiting card,  The uniforms and the interiors of the Hutch outlets were revamped and had to be changed to the new color.  Few other companies would have the style and confidence to pull it off.

OGILVY  Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide is known globally for its superior work, client-focused approach and distinctive organizational culture.  With 483 offices in 106 countries  Billings of over $11 billion,  World’s ninth largest advertising agency network NEW TREND IN CLIENT SERVICING Growth of digital marketing in the global communications business: 1) consumers seizing control of their media and entertainment choices; 2) Marketers stepping up their pursuit of accountability and return on investment.

Digital marketing is no longer a technology story. It is a consumer adoption story.

•

Profound changes in how people ‘shop’ across so many brand categories and markets. 9

•

Digital marketing intersecting at the moments of truth as customers journey from awareness to purchase.

OGILVYONE  Ogilvy One is deeply committed to helping the clients navigate and win in the new digital marketing landscape.  To open everybody’s mind to what is possible, they have launched Verge, a series of conferences where Ogilvy leaders, clients and other industry experts gather to discuss the realities and possibilities of digital marketing. First run in New York in 2004, Verge was expanded to 12 markets through the end of 2005, including Japan, China, Singapore, Australia, France, Germany, Mexico and Canada.  In 2006, they took Verge to new markets such as Brazil, Spain and Korea. They have also just launched The Ogilvy One Report on digital trends, a global study into the “Net” generation, and a proprietary research initiative called Personal Circuits, which assesses how individual consumers use digital media to shop and purchase.  OgilvyOne entered 2006 with strong client relationships, outstanding talent and momentum in digital marketing.

NEO@OGILVY  The launch of Neo@Ogilvy, a new digital, direct response and search marketing media division.  Neo@Ogilvy places O&M squarely at the center of the fastest growing parts of the total communications business.  O&M now offers clients a fully integrated digital marketing solution – strategy + creative + media + metrics + and do it globally.  Neo@Ogilvy is off to a tremendous start.  Out of Home business unit, which helps clients to develop and enhance relationships between consumers and their brands at the last mile, beyond mass media.  Ogilvy, pioneered out-of-home communications in the country through its divisions. 10

 Ogilvy Landscapes- which introduced Outdoor media as a specialist discipline  Ogilvy Outreach- the first and the largest rural communication unit in the country  Ogilvy Live- which creates ground level brand communication and more recently  Ogilvy Sign scapes - the retail brand identity division.

 The integration of these OOH services as Ogilvy Activation- the first 360 degree OOH communication offering in the country, is a logical extension of Ogilvy's 360 Degree Brand Stewardship program. SHELLY LAZARUS: CEO, O&M “We are in the business of building strong and enduring brands. We see them as the key factor to any company's success in the marketplace. We believe in the power of brands and consider them to be the biggest asset a company can have.” “We believe we are of greatest value to those clients who share this understanding and our passion for brands. This is the reason why we have enjoyed long-term partnerships with India's greatest brands.” IMPEDIMENTS TO RESEARCH ON AD ETHICS  Lack of practitioner interest  Lack of sound measures and framework  Lack of relevant theories in related disciplines  Lack of academic interest

CONCLUSION The need to add ethics in advertising is essential as we have a duty to live a good moral life. This duty is as much applicable to our business lives as to our private lives. And marketing professionals also know that ethics brings good business.
