24. AIRCEL SAVE THE TIGER CAMPAIGN

26. CAMPAIGN
•
AIRCEL, India’s 5th largest GSM mobile service provider initiated the campaign towards a social
cause in association with WWF-India to help save our tigers. Aircel “Save Our Tiger” is the latest
campaign where it intends to draw attention towards dwindling numbers of tigers across the
planet and bring forward the seriousness of losing tigers from our planet.
•
Cricket Player and Aircel’s brand Ambassador Mahendra Singh Dhoni, footballer
Bhaichung Bhutia and south Indian actor Surya are part of this campaign.
•
A series of special tiger programmes were telecast to highlight the situation and challenges
facing our national animal.
Apart from TV and print advertising it has launched a website www.saveourtigers.com which will
be instrumental in propagating and disseminating information about saving tiger. It urges people
to be informed and create buzz across all forums like blogging, writing on facebook, twitter and
writing letters to the editors of newspapers.
There were marches, cycle rallies and signature campaigns demanding that the government act
before it's too late.
•
•

27. •
•
•
During the first year, the funds collected were used to provide over 35 Rapid Response
Units [RRU] to Tiger Reserves across the country. Each Rapid Response Unit had over 30
types of different equipment specially tailored for tiger protection including a
customized Mahindra Bolero Camper Vehicle and Hero Motorbikes.
The Second Year was launched with a Car Rally organized by Aircel and the Constitution
Club of India. Parliamentarians and Celebrities raced through the streets of the capital
to raise awareness for the campaign.
Special promos and promotional hoardings were created to promote the date of the
second live 12 hour Save Our Tigers telethon. On July 15th 2012, Amitabh Bachchan
returned to host the only telethon to be broadcast from an outdoor location.

28. •
The biggest names in conservation joined us on one stage to educate the audience
and to endorse our cause. In Year-II, the campaign aimed to create the "Tiger
Defence Unit" in major tiger reserves across the country.
AIRCEL raised almost Rs 6 Cr in pledges thanks to viewers, corporates and
celebrities from across the country. The funds raised are being utilized for:
Monitoring the RRUs
Intensive Training of RRU teams
Strengthening the guard outposts with Anti-Poaching Camps
Supporting NGOs
Additional RRUs

29. •
Aircel, one of India's most
innovative telecom
players, today unveiled its limited edition 'Save our Tigers'
calendar 2013 at its 'Strokes for Stripes' event. By means of this
initiative, Aircel further strengthened its commitment to 'Save our
Tigers' (SOT), a cause that the company has been associated with
since 2008.
•
•
The works of the artists culminated in the form of a calendar for
2013. These souls stirring art pieces were subsequently auctioned to
raise funds, highlight the need of tiger conservation and create
awareness for the cause. The proceeds from the auction were
donated to Wildlife Trust of India (WTI), the initiative's cause
partner who will channelize these funds for 'Save our Tigers'
initiative.
Through this project, Aircel endeavors to mobilize the art fraternity
for the cause and raise funds for the tiger conservation.

31. IMPLICATIONS
•
•
Building on its commitment to the cause of tiger conservation in India, Aircel, on ‘World
Tiger Day’ organized a Painting Competition with students from various schools across
the city to raise awareness about tiger conservation. A part of its ‘Save Our Tigers’
campaign, the event witnessed active participation from the school students ,Aircel
employees and their families, who gathered at the FUN mall to celebrate the day
through the painting competition.
‘Save Our Tigers’ is a CSR initiative by Aircel aimed towards environment and
tiger conservation. Tigers may be one of the most revered animals but they are also
vulnerable to extinction. Aircel has been working with several organizations across all
tiger reserves in the country extending infrastructure and capacity support. Aircel has
associated with various tiger conservationists like Mike Pandey, Shekar Dattatri, Valmik
Thapar, Bittu Sahgal and others across the country to spread the message of ‘Save our
Tigers’.

32. CONCLUSION
Aircel thought differently with their ‘Save our Tigers‘ campaign. They
decided to go in for a high-decibel, multimedia campaign attempting to raise
awareness about the low count of Tigers in India. It is a slick campaign overall,
utilizing all the weapons in the marketing armor: celebrities, new media, PR etc.
From a marketing strategy POV, taking up a niche cause was a smart move.
Now no corporate will go near a social cause with the words ‘Save’ and ‘Tiger’
attached to it. Aircel, pretty much has created a category, as it were. They’ve
also put in huge monies and tied up with credible names like WWF.
But the real change can only happen at the Government level or among those
who interact with the wildlife

52. JAAGO RE !!
Tata Tea Jaago Re introduced in 2008, works with NGOs and other non-profit organization to raise
awareness for specific causes around Indian general elections.
While tea may wake you up, Tata Tea awakens you. The campaign demonstrated Tata Tea’s thought
leadership in positioning tea as a medium of ‘social awakening’ and not just ‘physical awakening’.”
Since 2009, Tata Tea JaagoRe has been an active component of Tata Tea's marketing initiatives, adapted to
align with the product which claims to bring big and small leaves together to make a perfect cup of tea.

53. THE IDEA BEHIND
“Corruption is a malaise that is endemic
to our everyday life.”
# Keeping the need to address the problem of corruption in mind the Jaago
Re campaign has been crafted to create widespread awareness on the issue
of corruption.”
# An attempt to awaken every Indian citizen to be ‘the change he wants to
see’ by taking a pledge not to aid and abet corruption.
# The idea was to be aware of it as a responsible Indian citizen. ‘wake up
with a cup of tea’, is to wake up not just physically but also intellectually to
what is happening around them at a civic society level.

54. CAMPAIGNS

# 2012 - 2013 : Simplify
# 2012 - 2013 : Choti Shuruaat
# 2013 - Ongoing : Power Of 49

56. ONE BILLION VOTES
Tata Tea has used the current ‘election’ mood in
the country to drive home their ‘Jaago Re’
campaign to convince people to exercise their right
to vote on election day.
By launching a website, ‘Jaago
Re’ facilitated voter
registrations which enabled an
extensive call out to the youth
of the nation and encouraged
them to vote.

57. OBJECTIVE
The idea behind creating this blank out was
generated as an activation idea for Tata Tea’s ‘Jaago
Re’ campaign where in our second phase of the
campaign the message was to get viewers to vote.
Hence the thought ‘Agar aap vote nahin kar rahe
hai, to aap so rahe hai

58. SOCH BADLO
‘SochBadlo’ was aimed at bringing to light the positive stories
within the country. ‘'Jaago Re'’ chiefly addressed the positive
side to a country that was under a lot of stress through a series
of commercials and encouraged people to add a more
promising perspective to how they view the country.
The campaign titled ‘SochBadlo’
continues its battle against
corruption, and is also now focused
on strengthening the brand’s
connection with the women who
buys into their brand.

59. KHILANA BAND, PILANA SHURU
Khilana Bandh was primarily aimed at establishing the fact that
corruption can be combated if the citizens of the country did not
engage in bribery. ‘Jaago Re’ stimulated the citizens of the
country to discourage bribery and not contribute to corruption.
Through a website, users we encouraged to share AntiCorruption messages, take pledges against paying or receiving a
bribe, and confess if they had paid a bribe.
