Max launches its first corporate ad campaign
MUMBAI: Max India has launched its first corporate ad campaign with a twofold objective.
With the new campaign Max India has announced its new brand positioning of ‘For life‘. Secondly, Max is consolidating all its service offerings under the Max umbrella.
The creative agency that has worked on the campaign is Dentsu Creative Impact, while the media agency for the business is Madison Media.
The television commercials are being supported by other mediums like cinema, digital and print. The company will also be conducting few below-the-line activities to promote the brand.
The 40-seconder TVC has been produced by Lemon Yellow Sun Films.
Max India ED – Brand and Human Capital Vibha Rishi said, “Max interacts with millions of lives through many million moments of truth. Each interaction results in a memorable and satisfying experience. The brand positioning captures this sentiment with two simple words ‘For life’. We help our customers in navigating the often confusing complexities of insurance and healthcare ‘Sar jo tera chakraye …aa ja pyaare paas hamare. Kahey ghabraye.’.”
“The current campaign is the focal point of our communication. The entire corporate marketing budget for FY13 is being spent on this campaign itself,” Rishi added.
Talking about ad campaign Dentsu India Group NCD Soumitra Karnik said, “It was almost like doing a large flash mob. There were over 500 people on location, six cameras placed everywhere from in between the crowd, to the rooftops of buildings, in moving cars and even one that was attached to a jumper‘s knee. A lot of people did not even know they were being filmed. We just let the people lose their fear and inhibitions and just enjoy jumping on the trampolines. And they did, which was exactly what we wished to communicate that life is for living to the fullest and in all the ups and downs, Max will be right there to help them bounce back, just like a trampoline.”
Max is a multi business corporate offering services in healthcare, health insurance and life insurance. While the Max brand architecture has undergone a change, the new communication aims to build trust for the corporate brand Max, by virtue of which people can choose its constituent brands with more confidence than their competitors.
The TVC uses a simple visual device of a trampoline to connote the key message that Max India helps you bounce back in life. Various interactions are built around it reflective of the values on which the Max foundation is laid.
The film opens on a morning where you see multiple trampolines placed in a cityscape. Seeing this, passerbys are surprised and get curious to check it out. The film is used to establish how people of different age groups, though apprehensive at first, set out to experience the trampoline which is really a visual metaphor for ‘Max’.

Mother Dairy unveils 30 plus products for summer portfolio push
Ice creams, regional dairy and high-protein range drive 30 per cent growth plans
MUMBAI: If summer had a flavour, Mother Dairy is making sure it comes in at least 30. As temperatures climb, Mother Dairy is turning up the chill with an expansive product blitz, announcing a pipeline of over 30 new offerings across its value-added dairy portfolio. Rolled out in phases through the season, the line-up spans indulgence, health, convenience and regional tastes, an attempt to meet India’s increasingly diverse consumption patterns head-on.
Ice creams take centre stage, accounting for around 20 of the new launches. The brand is introducing formats such as a Two-in-One Matka and Tub, alongside a premium ‘Crafted’ range and flavours like Cream Cheese Pistachio Cone and Kulfi Cassata. There is also a clear nod to calorie-conscious consumers, with the debut of a ‘Go-Low’ range featuring variants such as Choco Almond, Shahi Mewa and Kesar Pista Tilla Kulfi.
Beyond indulgence, the company is sharpening its regional play. Products like Jamun Yoghurt and Bhuna Jeera Raita aim to tap into local flavour preferences, while Shrikhand offered in three variants targets western markets. For northern consumers, Meethi Dahi joins the mix, reinforcing a localisation strategy that goes beyond one-size-fits-all offerings.
Convenience is another key lever. Mother Dairy is expanding its UHT milk portfolio with Cow Milk and Standardised Milk in markets such as Jammu and Kashmir, catering to demand for longer shelf-life products without compromising accessibility.
On the nutrition front, the brand is doubling down on protein. Its ‘Pro’ range is being strengthened with Procurd and Propaneer high-protein curd and paneer variants positioning itself within the growing health-conscious segment while retaining its core taste proposition.
The scale of the rollout signals more than just seasonal experimentation. With expectations of over 30 per cent growth across key categories, the company is betting on innovation as a primary growth engine, supported by a mix of traditional and new-age distribution channels.
Marketing, too, is set to match the ambition. High-impact campaigns across ice creams and flavoured milk are in the pipeline, aimed particularly at younger consumers and designed to amplify summer consumption moments.
In a market where heat often dictates demand, Mother Dairy is not just responding to the season, it is trying to own it, one scoop, sip and spoonful at a time.
