Ogilvy creates ad campaign for Spice Mobile
MUMBAI: Spice Mobile is set to roll out a new ad campaign that has been created ad conceptualised by Ogilvy.
The objective of the campaign is to tell the youth of India that Spice Mobile is a ‘cutting-edge’ mobile Internet company and it has just launched a Spice Flo Series of mobile phones, Flo ME and Flo TV.
Spice Flo Series delivers music experience with ‘surround sound’ and Internet experience with ‘Smart Touch technology’. Also Flo TV comes with the added innovative feature of Live TV
The company will roll out TVCs, radio, print and POS.
The ad film is a pop music video feel with a track that talks about Spice Flo Series music and Internet abilities. The creative idea is to tell the story of the mobile series in a form that the youth find most entertaining – a ‘cool and catchy’ music track.
Ogilvy group creative head Pradyumna Chauhan said, “Youngsters love song and dance and they also dig technology. So this ad pretty much takes off from there. Which is why we have attempted a pop video feel while interspersing the cool internet functions of the mobile in a track itself.”
Ogilvy group creative head Mahesh Gharat added, “The Spice Flo series is a cool package in entirety. Starting from the name to its surround sound to amazing internet functions, it‘s a cool must buy for today‘s youth. We just presented those facts in a way most appealing to the target.”

Hiili names Sanjay Hemady as country manager India
Media veteran to drive digital decarbonisation push
MUMBAI: Climate tech firm Hiili has announced its entry into India, appointing industry veteran Sanjay Hemady as India country manager to steer its growth in one of the world’s fastest-expanding digital markets.
Hemady, a familiar name across India’s media and consulting circles, will lead Hiili’s India operations from Mumbai. His mandate is clear: help Indian companies measure, manage and reduce the carbon emissions generated by their digital services.
Hiili offers a scientifically validated platform, certified by the UC3M-Santander Big Data Institute, that enables businesses to improve the efficiency of their digital infrastructure while cutting emissions. As organisations race to meet ESG targets, the company positions itself as a practical bridge between climate pledges and measurable action.
“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as country manager, India at Hiili,” Hemady said in a LinkedIn post, adding that the company aims to move beyond broad sustainability promises towards precise, science-based decarbonisation.
Hemady brings more than three decades of experience spanning print, television, radio and digital media. He has previously served as chief executive officer at HIT 95 FM, assistant general manager at CNBC TV18, and held leadership roles at MTV India and The Indian Express, among others. Most recently, he worked as an independent business consultant advising firms across media and technology.
With India’s digital economy expanding at pace, the environmental cost of data, streaming and online services is climbing quietly in the background. Hiili’s bet is that carbon efficiency will soon sit alongside cost efficiency in boardroom conversations.
For Hemady, the move marks a shift from selling airtime and ad inventory to championing climate accountability. If successful, Hiili’s India play could make digital growth not just faster, but cleaner too.
