Cultural Context Autos are popular travel-mode for the Mumbai citizens. During rains, most auto-drivers put up waterproof flaps on either side of the passenger seat to stop rainwater from drizzling in. Thus the relevant messaging on the auto-exteriors as well as the side-flaps became a new medium for communicating the brand promise and also ensured that it was relevant in terms of the context and the environment.
Results The Paani Roke campaign ran successfully for a month while plying around 20,000 passengers within the city suburbs in these waterproof auto-rickshaws. The brand received considerable number of SMS queries for call-ins during the campaign period. It was implemented across 6 high-rainfall locations in Mumbai, within a 5-day turnaround time.
Solution
 We translated Dr. Fixit’s effective waterproofing through the most commonly used transit media – the autos. Dr. Fixit – Pani Roke, a call-to-action campaign urged people to SMS to a short-code for waterproofing their homes. 3000 autorickshaws had Dr. Fixit branding on the exteriors & side-flaps striking a strong chord both visibly and contextually.
