Kunal, Mini & Ranveer rave about one toolkit they can’t live without

While quarantine life is the new normal for most of us in India and across the globe, brands are in the process of skewing their marketing campaigns to the ever-changing consumer behaviour on digital. One of the brands that has managed to capture the pulse of the audience and reach out to their consumers through relevant and relatable activations is Araldite. A legacy adhesive brand has now been re-launched through their on-point DVC communicating the new brand message - ‘Repair is better than replace’. The narrative of the video revolves around the fact that objects are more than mere hoardings and actually  mean something to each one of us through the cherished moments and memories that connect with it; hence repair it because it’s #BondsThatLastForever. There is no doubt that this video was well received by the audience and garnered over 1.3 million views!

 

Taking this thought forward, in the second phase of the campaign, Araldite aimed at leveraging the lockdown while also ensuring safety against COVID-19. The biggest challenge we faced as a society was to stay home and be occupied with the constant itch of wanting to step out while it was against the safety norms to do so. Taking from this very sharp insight, Araldite engaged the audience in a DIY engagement activity which aimed at encouraging the audience to make something special for a loved one or even repair something priceless that made its way to the store room.

This lockdown is making us all realise the importance of people and things that really matter. I’m trying to refresh my relationships & give my stuff around the house a new purpose. I want to make sure that I preserve every ceramic piece that is special to me. So if something close to my heart breaks or gets damaged, I try to fix and reuse it, because ultimately it's #BondsThatLastForever. So why don’t you make the most of this lockdown and create some cool DIY videos? Tag @aralditeindia and me to stand a chance to win supercool gifts! PS: Since so many of you asked, I made the holes in the plate through a ceramic drill that is available at hardware stores or even amazon for like 300 bucks. I use mine very often to put up plates on the wall. #repairisbetterthanreplace #socialdistancing #diy #diyhomedecor #contest #staysafe #quarantine #quarantinelife #quarantinecrafts

Celebrities specialising in different affinities participated in this contest to boost awareness and fixed something very personal to them while also speaking about how Araldite is the go-to toolkit essential for them especially in this lockdown phase.

The current scenario is the only time when the audience has realised that a crack or a breakage doesn’t call for an immediate spree of e-commerce shopping but requires to be fixed. What better solution to reach out to this already sensitised audience than an activation with influencer collaboration for vast audience engagement.

 Speaking about the success of the second phase of the #BondsThatLastForever campaign Mr Shenoy Muralidhara, Commercial & Country Director Huntsman Advanced Materials said "We want to bring family and friends together by creating memories in households that are treasured forever. Araldite believes that bonds between family and friends become stronger when the artefacts inside homes are looked after. Though this is a difficult period, it’s the perfect time for family members to come together to fix things that are dear to them. We’re glad that Kunal, Mini & Ranveer partnered with us to show audiences how easy it is to fix anything forever with Araldite. This will increase conversations about this activation and drive participation leading back to our core thought - ‘Repair is better than replace.”
