Case studies

Campaigns we have run in Laundry

Work we planned, booked and photographed for advertisers in this sector, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.

Beco · FMCG & Personal Care

One campaign line rewritten for every city it ran in

Sustainability advertising usually lectures. This did the opposite: the same construction, the same layout, and a different local jibe in every market. Mumbai got the person who sets the air conditioner to sixteen degrees, Hyderabad got the one eating haleem with a plastic spoon, Delhi got its own version, each landing on a gantry or hoarding where the city’s own traffic is stuck long enough to read it. The brand line, break the cycle, stayed constant underneath.

What it delivered

Localising the joke rather than translating the copy is what makes a national campaign feel like it belongs on that road, and it is why this creative was read rather than skipped. Keeping one layout across markets meant the localisation cost almost nothing in production.

Format Gantries and hoardings
Markets Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad
Creative City-specific copy lines
Beco gantry in Hyderabad with the city-specific heat line above the traffic
Beco hoarding in Mumbai carrying the same layout with its own local copy line

Every placement shown was booked directly with the media owner and photographed on the ground by our team.

Methodology & notes

Built from 18 industry-standard ad-monitoring and research sources. Every figure is a count of ads recorded, not rupees, because ad cost is not comparable between TV, radio, print and online. Geography (cities) covers print, radio and outdoor only. Updated monthly. Full methodology →

Coverage: these figures reflect the advertising we were able to track across our data sources, a large sample but not every ad placed in India. Treat them as a directional, relative picture, not an absolute or complete record.
