Covering Note / Overall Experience: Somany Ceramics launched the new brand campaign in 2019 with superstar Salman Khan.
The thought Zameen Se Judey is a campaign that best describes Somany’s philosophy and its association with India. This year we complete 49 years in the business. While we’ve grown from strength to strength with products that match international standards, our core Indian values of loyalty, integrity and quality have remained unchanged.
However, for us, Zameen Se Judey is much more than a positioning, it also encapsulates the brand ethos. It is at the heart of every practice and process at our end. We don’t just look at it as the end goal, but as a core habit as well, encouraging a healthy work atmosphere. We created Polls with real life experiences on social media. But just asking users to poll would not have been enough. So we asked users to post stories of real life experiences of how Zameen Se Judey they are using our campaign #tag on Social Media. We also collaborated with influencers like Disha Dubey, Rukmini Ray, Architects Dairy & Shashank Shekhar and reached our target of 10.5 Mn jumps in less than 15 days with our brand ambassador and influencers.
