Himalayan brings alive essence of Pure Kashmiri Saffron in its new ad

Himalayan, premium brand from the House of Tata Consumer Products Limited (TCPL) had recently announced its entry into the premium Kashmiri Saffron segment thereby strengthening its provenance credentials. The brand has now taken its signature source inspired storytelling style to showcase its latest Kashmiri Saffron offering. The campaign conceptualized by Schbang weaves the brand promise of providing 100% pure Kashmiri Saffron in an elegant packaging wherein each pack comes with a QR code. Scanning the QR Code, consumers can see the quality and purity certificate of their pack given the trust deficit in the category due to adulteration alarm on saffron sold in India.

The new advert beautifully captures the essence of Kashmir and weaves the brand proposition in a heart-touching story with a lady wandering through the picturesque hills of Kashmir, serenaded by the melody of local folk tunes by a lakeside. She shares a moment with a young Kashmiri girl who vanishes, leaving behind a precious saffron flower. Continuing her journey, she encounters the same girl at the end of a lane, who silently beckons her to follow. The lady follows her to a breathtaking saffron field in full bloom. There, she picks another saffron flower and places it in a box that later transforms into vibrant red Kashmiri saffron strands adorned with saffron flower motifs.

The ad also throws light on the rampant adulteration in the saffron industry  leading to trust deficit issues in the category. Himalayan known from it’s purity and quality credentials is offering consumers a first of its kind experience within the saffron category of sharing with consumers the quality and purity report of their pack
