Mamaearth’s campaign celebrates womanhood and Durga Maa
Mumbai: Mamaearth, from Honasa Consumer Ltd and the fastest growing BPC brand in India to reach an annual revenue of ₹10 billion (in the preceding 12 months) within six years of launch (as of September 30, 2022) launches a captivating campaign that pays homage to Durga Maa and her various forms, while celebrating the multifaceted spirit of womanhood with its exquisite range of makeup offerings.
The heart of this campaign is a soul-stirring film that serves as a heartfelt ode to Durga Maa and to women everywhere. This initiative’s core objective is to embrace and celebrate the diversity of womanhood in all its splendid forms. Mamaearth has collaborated with accomplished artists to reimagine various avatars of Maa Durga using Mamaearth makeup products.
The film begins with a mesmerizing montage of Durga Maa’s portraits, each capturing the essence of her nine divine avatars. It then seamlessly transitions into the hands of skilled artists crafting magnificent Durga sketches and paintings using Mamaearth’s versatile makeup range which includes lipsticks, Foundations, Concealer, Compact, Lip & Eye Tint, Kajal, Kohl, & Eye liner. Eastern India’s Durga Pujo serves as a powerful platform for these artists to showcase their creativity and devotion. These artworks beautifully represent the nine facets of womanhood: Strength, Devotion, Knowledge, Fierceness, Empathy, Fearlessness, Wisdom, and Success. Through this film, Mamaearth wishes to celebrate women and their virtues and reaffirm that every woman is an embodiment of the diverse avatars of Maa Durga.
Commenting on the same, Honasa Consumer Ltd chief marketing officer Anuja Mishra commented: “In the spirit of Durga Puja and the celebration of womanhood, Mamaearth’s new campaign is a heartfelt tribute to both Durga Maa and women everywhere. We’ve taken an innovative path by collaborating with
artists who have beautifully reimagined Maa Durga’s avatars using the vibrant colors from Mamaearth’s makeup range. This initiative is our way of embracing and celebrating the diverse facets of womanhood. Just like the nine divine avatars of ‘Nobodurga,’ every woman embodies strength, devotion, knowledge, fierceness, empathy, fearlessness, wisdom, and success. Through this film, we pay homage to the eternal muse of Durga Maa and the inspiring women who carry her spirit within them.”
Comments from Havas Creative chief creative officer Anupama Ramaswamy, “As Pujo season approaches, the vibrant spirit of Durga Ma showcases the artistic creations of numerous talents. It’s a time when women of all generations grace the pandals in their finest attire, radiating confidence and charisma. Naturally, when we envisioned a Durga Puja campaign for Mamaearth, their Makeup Range seemed like the perfect match. We needed something disruptive and that’s how we thought of bringing 4 artists on board to do what they do best. Bring the 9 forms of Durga on their canvases. Everything remains the same. The only twist — there are no paints used at all, only Mamaearth lipsticks, kajals and foundations. The campaign draws parallels between how artists use Paints as Shringar to bring out the avatars of Durga and how women use Makeup as Shringar to bring out their own avatars. In doing so, we celebrate what Durga Ma truly represents — the multifacetedness of being a woman.”
The 54-sec film is conceptualised by Havas Media worldwide.
