The television commercial brings to life Dell’s commitment of redefining experiences that matter most to consumers. Be it films and their grandeur or memorable patriotism felt while watching a favourite sport together, Indians come together to celebrate, experiences. The film inspires consumers to enjoy a truly immersive cinematic experience, while transporting them to a completely new world, of extraordinary colour and sound.
Conceptualised and executed by Grey group, the film depicts features of Dell Cinema that collectively offer an immersive cinematic experience to the user who can enter a world of life-like colour, resonant sound and uninterrupted streaming. The film begins with the viewer visually entering a vibrant festive dance that comes alive on XPS 13’s screen, followed by losing oneself in watching a graphics intensive film with feature rich audio, the effect of which is evident on a glass of water kept next to the laptop. The film concludes with fans in a cricket stadium cheering for India, with every little detail coming to life without interruption, thanks to the unmatched streaming experience.
Dell director of marketing India and ANZ for consumer and small business Ritu Gupta says, “Dell Cinema is an incredible innovation by Dell. It is the promise of entertainment being delivered in a way that it was designed to be by content creators – on your PC. We’re taking Dell Cinema closer to our consumers who look for immersive cinematic experiences, anytime and anywhere. The Indian festive season is as immersive as it can get and we are so excited to be a part of it with Dell Cinema.”
Grey Bangalore senior VP and branch head Vishal Ahluwalia adds, “Dell and Grey as a team have been fortunate to have unique and insightful winning executions across all festivals in the past. While Dell as a brand is immersed in the Indian culture, this year we decided to project the grandeur of India celebrating through myriad of passion best experienced on Dell Cinema. The TVC captures a plethora of passion, which we are unable to experience live due to our busy everyday life.”
The film went live on Dell’s social media channels on 12 September with the TV campaign going live from September 16 till November 7, 2018.
