Spinn’s clarion call to agencies to spin an ad
MUMBAI: A perfect excuse for ad agencies to blow their own trumpet! Spinn, a chic bar located at Residency Road, has announced a contest, inviting advertising professional.
A call to the wacky, freaky professional advertising brains to put on their thinking caps, as Spinn calls it, the contest invites entries from ad agencies in and around Bangalore for a unique ad contest on the topic, “the humorous side of ad world”.
As humorous and wacky it gets, the more the jury laughs your entry out, the better your chances of winning, proclaims a company release.
Spinn would put together a team of leading industry stalwarts in Bangalore to judge the entries. The deadline for submission of entries is 25 May 2004. But the company will not entertain more than three entries from each ad agency. The entries can be mailed to spinnbng@yahoo.com.
According to Spinn’s managing partner Rajanna, “Being in the business of entertainment we understand the value of advertising and have personally noticed some of them to be very unique, offbeat and colorful individuals. This contest is our way of capturing that of course in a humorous manner with no offence meant. The entries would be displayed in Spinn at a later date as a special Talent Hub feature.”

Raj Cooling Systems launches Agreyas appliances brand
Emraan Hashmi named brand ambassador for consumer appliance push.
MUMBAI: A company known for cooling solutions is now heating up its ambitions in the home appliances market. Raj Cooling Systems Pvt. Ltd. has launched a new consumer appliances brand, Agreyas, marking its entry into India’s rapidly expanding home appliances sector valued at more than Rs 1.5 lakh crore. The move represents a strategic diversification for the company, which has traditionally focused on cooling solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications. Through Agreyas, the firm plans to tap into growing consumer demand for energy efficient and technology driven household appliances.
To build brand visibility, Agreyas has appointed Emraan Hashmi as its brand ambassador. The campaign has been developed under the banner of Zoommantra Productions, with actor and filmmaker Rohit Roy contributing to the creative direction.
The brand’s initial portfolio will include mid premium air conditioners, washing machines, geysers and other white goods designed to cater to modern Indian households seeking efficient and reliable appliances.
Raj Cooling Systems, founder and chairman Kalpesh Ramoliya said the launch aligns with the company’s broader expansion plans.
“The launch of Agreyas is in line with our vision to build a strong presence in India’s consumer electronics and home appliances market. The brand has been developed as a standalone identity to meet the evolving needs of Indian consumers,” he said.
Hashmi said the collaboration comes at a time when Indian buyers are increasingly looking for innovative and functional home solutions.
“I’m looking forward to working with Agreyas at a time when consumers are seeking more innovative and efficient home products. The brand reflects changing consumer behaviour around functionality, innovation and ease of use,” he said.
Raj Cooling Systems plans to invest around 10 million dollars in developing the brand, with an additional 5 million dollars earmarked over the next three to five years for product development and distribution expansion.
Agreyas will follow a multi channel distribution approach, selling through online platforms, retail outlets and dealer networks aimed at both urban and semi urban markets across India.
With the launch, the company is positioning Agreyas as a standalone consumer facing brand while continuing to leverage its existing manufacturing, engineering and research capabilities built through its core cooling solutions business.
