With the onset of monsoons in Mumbai, Zeel Rainwear goes outdoor

NZ Seasonal Wear, the company that manufactures rainwater protection apparel Zeel and Water-Fighter has recently launched a high octane 10 day outdoor campaign in Mumbai taking 30 premium sites for promoting its brand ‘Zeel’. According to the company, though Zeel and Water-Fighter are both water resistant apparel meant for Mumbai monsoon-wear, Zeel is more fashion oriented utility based premium products and caters to the youth, whereas Water-Fighter has been manufactured keeping in mind the generic economical class who want value for money.

Partnering with global advertisers with the onset of monsoons in the county, the brand has taken 30 large format premium sites in Mumbai covering areas like Thane, Parel, SCLR, Mira Road and Opera house among others. The creatives pitch the brand ambassador Vivek Oberoi sporting Zeel Rainwear with the communication ‘Be Monsoon Ready’, the communication also highlights that the brand is meant for all age groups and its associate brand Water Fighter.

"Rainwear is a seasonal product manufactured by multiple players branded and unbranded that relies greatly on impulse purchases and is often of poor quality. Zeel Rainwear promises quality, and durability along with style quotient. It asks buyers to not merely consider rainwear as protective wear but as a statement of style, and urges people to be 'monsoon ready' and not consider rains as an occasion when fashion and style have to take a backseat. Our campaign strategy, site selection and execution factored these insights into the mix, which is why the impact has been so good," says Sanjeev Gupta, MD, Global Advertisers.

The idea is to bring together all real estate brokers on one platform so that they can combine their strengths and lend power to retail selling. We studied the market, the brand positioning of the event and the targeted demographic and planned our campaign over several meetings before doing our bit to make it happen," says Sanjeev Gupta, MD, Global Advertisers.

The campaign is going all guns. Thanks to the client and our team, the campaign has generated a great response from all quarters," adds Gupta.
