Colgate introduces “Ask the Dentist” initiative Access to a dentist is now just a call away

Colgate introduces “Ask the Dentist” initiative
Access to a dentist is now just a call away

Lucknow: Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited, the market leader in oral care, today launched a new interactive “Ask the Dentist” initiative for its flagship brand, Colgate Dental Cream.

The initiative is based on the premise that most Indians do not visit a dentist and care little about tooth decay. They visit a dentist only when they have a problem and do not think dental check-ups are required on a regular basis. This consumer engagement aims to make the dentist accessible to every Indian.

As part of this initiative, Colgate has set up a robust dentist infrastructure that will provide any consumer in India live access to a dentist by calling on 1800 2094 666 - a toll free number. Consumers can also log on to www.askthedentist.co.in and get oral care queries answered.

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Rajesh Krishnamurthy, VP Marketing, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd, said, “Our research shows that only 3% people in India visit a dentist regularly. India has a low dentist to population ratio compared to WHO recommended ratios. As market leaders in oral care, we see it as our responsibility to drive oral care awareness in the country.”

“The “Ask the Dentist” initiative comes alive through our new TVC where a friendly approachable dentist encourages families to get answers to common questions on oral care. This gives them access to dentist advice they never had and also helps dispel common misconceptions about teeth or fears about tooth decay. As an important part of the initiative, we have set-up a toll-free number and a website, where consumers can call and ask the dentist their own questions related to oral health. We are confident that consumers will make the most of this opportunity”, he further added.

SAB TV launches new phase of its Brand Campaign
‘Zindagi ka Matlab toh Apno Se Naata Hai, Asli Mazaa SAB Ke Saath Aata Hai’

Mumbai: SAB TV, India’s only family comedy entertainment channel launches fourth phase of its brand campaign in keeping with its brand promise of “Asli Mazaa SAB Ke Saath Aata Hai". The campaign reiterates the brand promise of light hearted shows that the entire family can enjoy together.

Conceptualized on the thought that the meaning of life lies in celebrating special moments with one’s family, the story revolves around the theme that “Zindagi Ka Matlab toh Apno Se Naata Hai , Asli Mazaa SAB ke Saath Aata Hai’’.

Shot in Panchagani, the new brand film tells the story of a young couple who meet each other for the first time with their respective families. The couple is not really getting a chance to talk to each other all throughout the meeting. After almost everything about the couple being divulged by the families, the grandmother intervenes and says that let the prospective bride and groom talk to each other. In the end, the prospective groom is seen asking the bride’s family if the proposal has been accepted by her. With this, everyone bursts out laughing. The TVC brilliantly showcases that families have understood and accepted the SAB brand promise and enjoy spending life’s moments being together.

Commenting on the launch of the new brand campaign, Mr. Anooj Kapoor – Executive VP & Business Head, SAB TV, said, “We offer light hearted content which, appeals to the entire family audience and in the new version of the campaign we will reinforce the message with a mix of humour and emotion. Through this campaign we are confident of adding more and more families to our growing SAB family.”

The campaign has been launched simultaneously in the electronic, radio, print and the digital medium and would be present across movie, news, regional and kid’s genres to deliver the communication amongst the family audience.
