MARKETING INITIATIVES

The year 2021-22 was another year of campaigns that forged deep emotional connect with consumers and end-users, while continuing to build new segments and categories. We launched new campaigns for Fevikwik and Fevistik and did an engaging association with 83 - The Movie. We also took the Dr. Fixit campaign that was launched in two states last year, nationwide. Our digital marketing initiatives in form of social media posts and videos tapped into topical trends in a fun and quirky manner and helped build brand love. Pidilite bagged 30+ advertising & marketing awards during the year including yet another EFFIE Gold for Fevikwik’s “Phenko Nahi Jodo” campaign and a Kyoorius Blue Elephant for Fevicol’s social distancing campaign.

ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS

The Dr. FIXIT RANG ROGAN television campaign featuring Mr. Amitabh Bachchan highlighting the advantages of Dr. Fixit Roofseal Topcoat over ordinary paints, that was launched in two states last year, was aired nationally.

FEVISTIK launched a new campaign "Dil se chipkaoge to Dimag mein Chipkega" to build an emotional connect with its consumers. With fun activations and a new product pack, the campaign encouraged kids to “Learn by Doing”.

FEVIKWIK launched a social media campaign to celebrate clumsy people who often unintentionally break things by calling them ‘Fevikwik stars’. People shared thousands of stories about the Fevikwik stars in their lives.

Fevicol associated with one of the biggest Indian movies of the year - ‘83 – THE MOVIE’ to reinforce brand leadership.

SOCIAL MEDIA HIGHLIGHTS

FEVICOL, with its uniquely humorous take on
trends and topics, is now one of the buzziest
brands on social media.

This year, the brand’s social media posts on an event involving a major cola brand and a star footballer went viral with customers appreciating the brand’s smart take on the incident, that reinforced the brand promise of “mazboot jod”.


FEVIKWIK also delighted people on social media through its funny and quirky take on various events and occasions.
