Sociowash crafts clever campaign for Hero Lectro; If cars could dream
Mumbai: Integrated advertising agency Sociowash has conceptualised and executed a print campaign for Hero Lectro, the E-cycle division of Hero Cycles. This campaign aims to position the company’s range of e-cycles as a smarter, greener and more enjoyable alternative for daily commutes.
The campaign highlights how Hero Lectro’s e-cycles offer an effortless riding experience with zero emissions and minimal physical exertion, unlike the stress of traffic-clogged roads and rising fuel prices. The print ads very intelligently show how e-cycles are far more convenient as compared to their four-wheeled counterparts. With the campaign communication, “If cars could dream”, the campaign subtly yet very powerfully highlights the go-anywhere nature of e-cycles and how they are better compared to cars in all urban short commute scenarios.
Sociowash co-founder Pranav Agarwal, said: “The growing concerns around traffic congestion, pollution, and health issues provided the perfect backdrop for this campaign. Hero Lectro’s e-cycles offer a simple yet effective solution for today’s stressed-out commuters seeking a more sustainable and enjoyable ride. This campaign perfectly encapsulates this sentiment in a unique yet practical manner”.
The Indian e-cycle market is booming, expected to grow at a 12.4% compound annual growth rate to reach $1.05 billion by 2028. Hero Lectro aims to capitalize on this growth through a campaign that challenges people’s mindset around daily commutes and positions the company as a leader in the e-cycle segment.
Hero Cycle’s head of marketing Rachit Gupta, said: “Commutes are getting longer, more polluted and stressful with each passing day. Our goal with this campaign is to change how people view their commute by making it effortless, green and enjoyable on an e-cycle”.
The print ads, published in major automotive and two-wheeler magazines, take a light-hearted jab at luxury cars while showcasing Hero Lectro’s range of stylish and technologically advanced e-cycles.
