RBNL rolls out ‘Switch To’ campaign for digitisation
Mumbai: As 31 October has been decided as the deadline for digitisation in four metros, Reliance Broadcast Network (RBNL), is all set to make the most of it with its new campaign titled ‘Switch To‘.
The campaign is designed to create awareness amongst target audiences – to ‘switch to‘ the right service provider who can offer best value. It provides operators a tool to reach out through the marketing muscle and expertise of RBNL‘s mediums across television, radio, on-ground, digital and outdoor, to gain “increased visibility” through this multi-media campaign, the company said.
‘Switch To‘ launches on the back of Reliance Broadcasts‘ very successful campaign which rolled earlier this year called ‘Choose Your Set Top Box Wisely‘ tailored to increase awareness and empower consumers with adequate information to make the right choice while choosing their set top boxes, while parallely enabling operators to build their brand equity. This campaign takes it a step further highlighting key entertainment options available to be able to make a more informed switch! The first phase of this campaign will be led across four metros viz: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata by key shows from the BIG CBS Network viz. America‘s Got Talent, The X Factor and American Idol being simulcast on BIG CBS Prime, BIG CBS Love and BIG CBS Spark.
The campaign reaches out to the consumers, in whose hands the power to Switch To lies as they make a well informed decision on their DTH provider. Similarly, it also offers operators an excellent marketing campaign to strengthen their brand equity and gain optimally from the eminent revolution.
Ensuring optimal reach, the entire media muscle of Reliance Broadcast Network will come into play across its television channel bouquet – BIG CBS PRIME, LOVE, SPARK, BIG MAGIC, BIG CBS SPARK PUNJABI and BLOOMBERG TV INDIA, its extensive radio network 92.7 BIG FM, the out of home vertical Big Street and print, on ground and digital. With a strategically crafted campaign and an extensive media outlay, the campaign promises to create significant impact.
BIG CBS Networks business head Anand Chakravarthy said, “Digitisation is an imperative step for the growth of the broadcast sector in India. While we have technologies available to improve efficiencies of broadcasting across the value chain, the lack of adoption from consumers slows the growth of the industry. This campaign enables consumers to Switch To the provider that meets their requirements, while at the same time offering the operators with an effective marketing campaign to partner with. Together, we are confident, we can bring about the much needed Switch!”

Mana Projects names Ranbir Kapoor brand ambassador amid rebranding
Bengaluru developer unveils new identity focused on design and nature.
MUMBAI: When real estate meets reel star power, the foundation for a new brand story is often laid brick by brick. Mana Projects, the Bengaluru based real estate developer, has appointed actor Ranbir Kapoor as its brand ambassador while unveiling a refreshed brand identity aimed at aligning the company with the evolving expectations of modern urban homebuyers.
The announcement marks a new phase for the developer, which has spent over two decades building residential communities in Bengaluru, particularly along emerging growth corridors such as Sarjapur Road.
The updated brand identity reflects the company’s emphasis on design led living and environmentally conscious development. According to the developer, the new positioning focuses on creating residential spaces where architecture, nature, engineering and lifestyle planning work together to shape meaningful living experiences.
Mana Projects chairman and managing director D. Kishore Reddy said the rebranding represents a natural progression as the company adapts to the expectations of a new generation of homeowners.
“This rebranding represents the natural evolution of Mana Projects as we align ourselves with the aspirations of a new generation of homeowners, particularly millennials who form the backbone of Bengaluru’s dynamic homebuyer community,” Reddy said.
He added that today’s buyers increasingly look beyond basic housing to spaces that combine design, sustainability and a strong sense of community.
“At Mana, our philosophy centres on creating homes where space is purposeful, design is intelligent, nature is respected and engineering ensures long term sustainability. Our association with Ranbir Kapoor reflects this new chapter as we continue to build communities that enable people to truly live brilliantly,” he said.
Kapoor, who has been associated with several lifestyle and consumer brands, said the partnership resonated with his own understanding of what makes a home meaningful.
“A home is one of the most meaningful investments people make in their lives, and it should reflect comfort, warmth and a sense of belonging,” Kapoor said.
“What impressed me about Mana Projects is the brilliance of their thought, the way design, nature and functionality come together to enhance everyday living. I’m delighted to be associated with Mana Projects as they continue to create homes that inspire modern urban families to truly live brilliantly.”
The collaboration will be introduced through a large scale integrated campaign spanning digital platforms, outdoor media and experiential activations, making it one of the developer’s most prominent branding initiatives in recent years.
Founded in Bengaluru, Mana Projects has built a portfolio of residential developments that emphasise thoughtful architecture, amenity rich neighbourhoods and environmentally sensitive planning. The company’s projects often integrate open spaces, green landscapes and energy efficient engineering to support sustainable urban living.
With Bengaluru continuing to attract young professionals and technology workers, the developer believes the city’s housing market is increasingly being shaped by buyers seeking well planned communities that balance functionality with quality of life.
Looking ahead, Mana Projects plans to expand its presence across the city by developing future ready residential projects designed to accommodate emerging lifestyle trends such as hybrid work culture, community driven living and multigenerational households.
By combining a refreshed brand identity with a high profile ambassador, the company hopes to strengthen its position in Bengaluru’s competitive real estate market while appealing to a new generation of homeowners seeking homes that blend design, nature and modern living.
