Blackberry’s new ad campaign says ‘Action Begins Here’
MUMBAI: Blackberry has launched a new campaign around the concept ‘Action starts here‘.
The regionally developed brand campaign has been in the making over the past six months and involves strategic and creative ideation by both RIM and its creative agency BBDO. The TVC is produced by Asylum Films.
In today‘s fast paced society, individuals are looking to progress, take action and to be successful. No one wants to be left behind; neither do they want to be waiting as everything should be in real time.
The campaign showcases BlackBerry as an enabler of action and its strengths as a brand that supports individuals to get things done. It sends out the message that BlackBerry is for those who want more than just a smartphone. It is for people of action who put more into life to get more out of it.
This resonates strongly with the brand, as the use of the red icon or the “Splat” is a symbol of action which is unique to BlackBerry. It is the symbol of a new message incoming as an icon of action. The splat is used as a rallying symbol for those who seek to action and find opportunities in any situation.
The campaign will be unveiled across India through thematic lifestyle imagery that depicts people of action and BlackBerry devices that deliver to that promise.
From print advertisements to retail elements, digital campaign, social engagement and a unique TV commercial, the message is clear that BlackBerry is a brand for the person of action.

MUMBAI: A company known for cooling solutions is now heating up its ambitions in the home appliances market. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new consumer appliances brand, Agreyas, marking its entry into India’s rapidly expanding home appliances sector valued at more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The move represents a strategic diversification for the company, which has traditionally focused on cooling solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Through Agreyas, the firm plans to tap into growing consumer demand for energy efficient and technology driven household appliances.
To build brand visibility, Agreyas has appointed Emraan Hashmi as its brand ambassador. The campaign has been developed under the banner of Zoommantra Productions, with actor and filmmaker Rohit Roy contributing to the creative direction.
The brand’s initial portfolio will include mid premium air conditioners, washing machines, geysers and other white goods designed to cater to modern Indian households seeking efficient and reliable appliances.
Raj Cooling Systems, founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya said the launch aligns with the company’s broader expansion plans.
“The launch of Agreyas is in line with our vision to build a strong presence in India’s consumer electronics and home appliances market. The brand has been developed as a standalone identity to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers,” he said.
