Aegon Religare | Star Kids | India

Indian life insurance company Aegon Religare is promoting its Star Child Plan in an integrated campaign designed to generate maximum viral buzz.

The campaign features babies playing the guitar and soccer with incredible flair. Contract Advertising’s senior vice presidents and ECDs Manish Bhatt and Raghu Bhat, who led the campaign, said: “We used babies as they are universal traffic stoppers.” They added that every parent believes their children are special and sometimes achieve their unfulfilled dreams through their children.

The campaign will air across all traditional media including television, radio, out-of-home displays. The campaign will also offer children the chance to build their future with selected scholarships.

The campaign will run for two months nationwide. Initially featuring two television executions, more videos will be uploaded to the company’s site throughout the campaign period. The site also includes a ‘Photo Play’ function enabling parents to upload photos of their infants to templates of the talented babies featured in the TV spot.

Bhatt noted that post-production company VHQ also played an integral part in realising the campaign, having flown in talent from around the world to assist in its development.
