Brief
Early into FQ3 of 2020, Arvind Mediratta, Managing Director and CEO, Metro Cash and Carry India, shed some light on METRO’s expansion goals in India. One of their key strategies was to focus on growing small-format stores across tier 2 cities, largely focused on traders, as kirana shops emerged as key providers of essential items to Indian consumers during the country’s protracted lockdown.
To tap into these specific micro-markets, and to expand market share despite a lockdown, METRO came to us with a mandate of a series of TVCs to creatively position Metro Wholesale and its myriad offerings for traders, restaurateurs, and small business owners of India.
Our Approach
Coming out of Unlock 1.0 – where the video production companies was filled with uncertainty – we were one of the first in the market to put together safe shoot protocols in line with WHO guidelines. The Red Bangle platform with its cloud capabilities and our creative processes ensured smooth end-to-end production across films despite never having met the client team until the day of the shoot.
For the first series of TVCs, METRO’s audience personas were broken down into three segments – each of which had its own film which was further redubbed for regional distribution. Owing to the first campaign’s success, we then went on to craft our second series of TVCs, this time casting the incredibly talented film and theater star – Namit Das.
