18. Micromax, the 12th largest handset manufacturer in the world, started as an IT software company
in the year 2000 working on embedded platforms. In 2008, it entered the mobile handset business
and by 2010, it became one of the largest Indian domestic mobile handsets company by offering
unique yet affordable innovations. Through its emphasis on adapting to the changing market
dynamics, introducing feature-rich phones and smartphones that are innovative and unique,
Micromax has today 22 per cent market share in the smartphone segment in India.
The Challenge:
Perceived as a Chinese brand, Micromax was a preferred brand in the rural areas and
the same reasons was not considered desirable in the urban areas. To penetrate the
urban markets, an image correction was required and a brand strategy needed to fade
the memories of Nokia from the minds of the consumers.
19. • Strategy:
Micromax roped in a face that was considered elegant and
niche, Twinkle Khanna. Micromax grabbed the insight
that GEN next girls are technologically smart and stylish
and that the mobile phones have become a new fashion
accessory, so girls love to flaunt them. Thus, on the
occasion of Mothers’ Day, Micromax announced the
launch of its latest android phone – Bling that targeted
fashionable and smart women.
• Execution:
An eye catching TVC featuring Twinkle Khanna with
Akshay Kumar’s voice-over raided the commercial
breaks. The tagline ‘it twinkles’, blended well with the
brand ambassador and the whole campaign created a stir
in the audience. The print ads were designed keeping in
mind that the phone was considered to be a high profile
fashion accessory by the urban market.
20. Results:
The strategies helped in increasing the market share of Micromax and it penetrated deeper
in the urban markets. It became the third largest GSM mobile phone vendor in India after
Nokia and Samsung, with a market share of 6 per cent. It sold about 1 million mobiles
every month. Bling was used by most women to flaunt the feminine attitude . By offering
product differentiation with every new phone, Micromax became the largest Indian mobile
company that almost cannibalized the market leader Nokia.
