CEAT gets children to ensure parents follow road safety
MUMBAI: Indian tyre manufacturer CEAT is airing a special social media campaign to build awareness to reduce road accidents as part of the road safety week 2018, i.e., 11-17 January 2018. The campaign, ‘drive safe dad’ originates from an innovative idea that blends emotions and technology in one package.
The campaign film showcases a dad receiving a personalised bobblehead which is connected to the odometer of the vehicle. On over speeding, the device plays the recorded personalised message from their sons or daughters asking them to slow down. To take this initiative to the masses CEAT has launched the bobblehead on Amazon.
CEAT vice president of marketing Nitish Bajaj says, “The campaign taps into the love and bond shared between a father and his child, encouraging parents to be more responsible on the road and follow the rules, more diligently. The crux of this concept comes from the fact that parents tend to take road safety more seriously when they hear it directly from their kids.”
CEAT’s core idea of making mobility safer and smarter every day is reflected by this campaign which restrains dads from over-speeding their vehicles which had taken more than 73,896 lives in the year 2016 in India.

Joy Personal Care rolls out Ubtan Face Wash TVC with Shah Rukh Khan
New film pairs star power with simple skincare pitch for summer glow
MUMBAI: Joy Personal Care has unveiled a new television commercial for its Ubtan Face Wash, bringing together Shah Rukh Khan and Sanya Malhotra in a light-hearted campaign aimed at simplifying everyday skincare choices.
The film, which marks the product’s television debut, is set in a retail environment where Malhotra is seen navigating a shelf full of options before Khan steps in with his trademark charm to offer a fuss-free solution. The narrative leans on humour and relatability, turning a routine purchase into a playful exchange.
At its core, the campaign promotes the brand’s ubtan-based formulation, which blends traditional ingredients such as turmeric, saffron and sandalwood to address common summer concerns like tanning and dullness. The messaging keeps things simple, positioning the product as an easy addition to daily routines rather than a complicated skincare step.
RSH Global co-founder and chairman Sunil Agarwal said, “As summer sets in and exposure to sun and heat intensifies, skincare concerns like tan and dullness become more pronounced. Consumers today are looking for solutions that deliver visible results while remaining easy to incorporate into daily routines.”
Echoing the consumer-first approach, RSH Global chief marketing officer Poulomi Roy said, “Through this campaign, we have brought that insight to life in a simple and engaging way, showing how Joy Ubtan Face Wash makes traditional skincare easy and effective. Shah Rukh Khan and Sanya Malhotra add relatability and charm, helping the product connect more strongly with audiences.”
Sharing his experience, Shah Rukh Khan said the campaign stood out for its simplicity and everyday appeal, while Sanya Malhotra highlighted the natural chemistry and playful tone of the shoot.
The campaign will be amplified across television, digital and social platforms, signalling a wider push as the brand looks to strengthen its position in the competitive face wash segment.
Part of RSH Global, Joy Personal Care continues to build visibility through celebrity-led campaigns and sports partnerships, including associations with Kolkata Knight Riders, Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Giants.
With familiar faces, a breezy storyline and a focus on everyday concerns, the latest campaign keeps things straightforward. In a crowded skincare aisle, sometimes the easiest answer is also the most effective one.
