Indian Motor Oil Brand Veedol Takes to the Road in New Campaign

Indian motor oil brand Veedol has launched a new campaign for its Take-Off brand, created by Lowe Lintas Kolkata. Take-Off, a popular brand, specifically caters to motorcycle riders in the country.

According to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM)'s report for FY2018, the Indian two-wheeler industry has crossed the 20-million unit sales milestone for the first time - registering a growth of approximately 15% over the previous financial year. The road ahead for the two-wheeler industry looks very exciting and promising. Riding on the fast-growing two-wheeler industry, Veedol's launch of a new campaign for Take-Off appears to be particularly opportune.

The campaign film conceived by Lowe Lintas focuses on the innate characteristic of young Indians who challenge the status quo and set things right for the common good. The narrative is woven around these purposeful youth of today who see themselves as agents of change, with the inherent power, confidence and intent to make a difference to the society as a whole. Positioning Veedol as a modern, youthful brand, 'For The Young Engines of India' acts not just as a new advertising slogan but celebrates India’s energetic youth who equitably represent the brand's values.

Commenting on the campaign, R N Ghosal, managing director, Tide Water Oil Co. (India) Ltd. said: “The campaign showcases Veedol’s full range of motorcycle and scooter engine oils in an upbeat, youthful ambience with an over-riding sense of purposeful action built into the narrative. This would go a long way in enhancing Veedol’s imagery, in step with several other brand interventions we have undertaken recently like the launch of the new international packaging. I believe that this campaign is an important milestone in positioning Veedol as a vibrant and youthful brand of choice for emerging consumers."

Janmenjoy Mohanty, regional president, Lowe Lintas said: “While tuning into the larger India story, we were looking for a youth truth that would suitably reflect the current dynamic. Our search led us to the fact that young people are self-starters, who will not wait for things to happen, but effect change themselves. That is what makes them the ‘young engines’ of a fast-changing India. A belief we reflect in the new communication for Veedol.”

D K Guha, executive director, Lowe Lintas added: "Veedol’s new international packaging, as well as the introduction of high-performance oils, provided the perfect moment for launching the new campaign. Set against the backdrop of a young and restless India, the campaign captures the youthful energy and attitude of the millennials - the driving force behind the nation."
