Big CBS Prime uses Obama’s India visit to launch first campaign
MUMBAI: Big CBS Prime, the soon to launch English entertainment channel, has launched its first campaign – After you, Mr. President.
Conceptualised by its creative agency McCann Erickson, the campaign uses US president Barack Obama’s India visit to tell its target audience that the launch of the channel will be followed by president’s visit.
The channel is being launched by Big CBS, the joint venture company between Reliance Broadcast Network and US network CBS Studios International.
The campaign will go up on outdoor sites and on radio from today, two days before president Obama arrives in Mumbai. The outdoor creative is visual and self explanatory, with the channel saying “After you, Mr. President”.
Reliance Broadcast Networks senior vice president marketing Anand Chakravarthy says, “That the president of the US is coming to India just before Big CBS Prime launches is a great coincidence and so we decided to use the opportunity. With a promise of providing the latest, freshest and hottest entertainment concurrent with the US, the creative idea is a smart way of reinforcing the product proposition. All the media hype surrounding the president’s visit only helps us cut through more effectively and get into our consumers mind.”

Limited-period service drive offers discounts, free checks to beat summer heat
GURUGRAM: Hyundai Motor India Limited has announced a nationwide AC check-up camp, rolling out from April 10 to April 18, as temperatures climb and car cabins begin to feel the heat.
The initiative is designed to keep vehicles cool and customers comfortable, offering a mix of free inspections, discounted services and value-added benefits across Hyundai’s extensive service network in India.
As part of the limited-period campaign, customers can avail a complimentary 30-point vehicle check-up along with a free dry wash. The company is also offering a 15 per cent discount on AC servicing, including gas refills, and similar savings on wheel alignment and balancing. Key AC components such as compressors, condensers and cooling coils will be available at a 10 per cent discount, while value-added services like AC disinfectant treatments and plastic restoration also come with reduced pricing.
The camp will be hosted across authorised Hyundai workshops nationwide, allowing customers easy access to trained technicians, genuine parts and diagnostic support without the usual hassle.
Speaking on the initiative, Hyundai Motor India Limited national service head Nilesh Shah said, “At HMIL, customer satisfaction and convenience remain at the core of our service philosophy. With the onset of summer, we are pleased to introduce our nationwide AC check-up camp to ensure that our customers enjoy a comfortable and hassle-free driving experience. This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering proactive care and enhancing vehicle performance through our strong service network across India.”
With mercury levels on the rise, Hyundai’s timely service push aims to ensure drivers stay cool behind the wheel while also nudging them towards preventive maintenance, a small check today that could save a larger repair tomorrow.
