NourishCo’s Tata Water Plus tells people to drink health
MUMBAI: NourishCo, a 50:50 joint venture between Tata and PepsiCo, is promoting healthier lifestyle to its consumers with the launch of bottled-water Tata Water Plus in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
The campaign Ab Pyaas Bhujao Health se is a TVC supported by a host of marketing initiatives enunciating the promise of Tata Water Plus. The creative agency on board for the TVC was Taproot-Dentsu Marcom and the media planning for the campaign has been done by Mindshare
To promote the product, the brand has launched an on-ground initiative in the two cities. A special health zone has been created at Inorbit Mall in Hyderabad and City Centre in Chennai. The mall activation focuses on highlighting the need for a healthy drinking water. Other mediums of promotion used are outdoor, radio and print medium.
NourishCo VP and head-marketing and innovation Arvind Shukla said, “Tata Water Plus is more than just drinking water. It is enhanced with the goodness of copper and zinc. We thought positioning the product as a ‘drink health‘ works better for the brand. Reiterating the thought, our campaign ‘Ab Pyaas Bhujao health Se‘ is a great proposition for consumers and educates them about the opportunity that thirst offers to enhance health. Through an exciting TVC and robust outdoor, radio, on-ground and online initiatives, we hope to engage consumers and educate them about the health benefits that Tata Water Plus offers.”

Taproot-Dentsu Marcom executive creative director Agnello Dias said, “The creative route that we have taken for Tata Water Plus is very simple – Don‘t waste your thirst! Treat it as an opportunity to get healthy. Personification of Mr Thirst makes people think before drinking water and subtly educates them about the benefits of nutrients like copper and zinc. It is a unique concept and clearly communicates the thought of the campaign; Ab Pyaas bhujao Health se. We are positive that the consumers in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu will enjoy the campaign.”

Faber-Castell India appoints Sunaina Haldar as director – marketing
With stints at Tata, SleepyCat and ADF Foods under her belt, Haldar is primed to redraw Faber-Castell’s brand story
MUMBAI: Faber-Castell India has poached Sunaina Haldar from ADF Foods, appointing her director – marketing as the German stationery brand looks to muscle up in a category that is rapidly reinventing itself around creativity and self-expression.
Haldar hit the ground running. “My first couple of weeks have been incredibly energising, understanding consumers, visiting markets, engaging with retailers and immersing myself into the world of Faber-Castell Group,” she said.
She arrives with considerable firepower. At ADF Foods, Haldar ran marketing across India and international markets for a portfolio spanning Ashoka, Aeroplane, Camel and ADF Soul. Before that, she was vice-president – marketing at direct-to-consumer mattress brand SleepyCat, where she helmed brand, content and performance marketing. Her résumé also includes a stint leading marketing, new product development and CRM for Tata SmartFoodz at Tata Consumer Products, no small proving ground.
Between corporate roles, Haldar also operated as a fractional CMO for early-stage startups, building marketing strategy and operational structures from scratch, a signal that she knows how to move fast with limited resources.
With 18 years straddling FMCG, D2C and the startup world, Haldar now takes the reins at a brand that has long owned the classroom but is clearly hungry for the living room. In a stationery market where the pencil has become a lifestyle statement, Faber-Castell has picked someone who knows exactly how to sell that story.
