IN YEAR 2002….

HI FLYER CAME IN TO THE MARKET

TARGETING THE URBAN YOUTH (THE AGE CATEGORY OF 18-25)

Just think of making a film …. How many people got involved in it ???

• Collaborate

We dealt with a research company to find out customer expectations of a youth savings product and to identyfy a suitable logo.

Research was carried out at three geographical areas

COLOMBO (Urban) KURUNEGALA (Semi Urban) POLONNARUWA( Rural)

Worked with the advertising agency to develop

publicity materials/ execute proper scheduling

Dealt with Radio stations( Specially Y fm) /TV in order to have special youth programs .

Had a close relationship with the brand ambassador

“IRAJ”

INTERNAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS

• SURPRISED THE STAFF MEMBERS

• MADE STAFF MEMBERS TO KNOW (Awareness) OUTSTANDING ACCOUNT CANVASSERS

• SENT OUT CREATIVE EMAILS

On the first working day of year 2006 we decorated all lift corridors of all floors with gas filled balloons and kept a cool cash mug on the table of each staff member along with a cool cash leaflet . We executed same at all our branches too.

Staff members were surprised with what we have done and all red the leaflet since it was something new to them. That's how we created the initial awareness for cool cash among our staff members.

EXTERNAL AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS

• Emotional and Information based advertisements were executed.

We paid more attention on back ground colours/ music in order to get in to the mind-set of youth.

Emotional - MUSIC

Information-FACTUAL

4.CULTIVATE

• We always tried to make people to feel the character of the brand.

4.CULTIVATEBrand Is Like a Human Being ….. IF people could change their outer look without changing their values , Why a brand can do the same?

“IRAJ” played a major role in taking brand personality of “ Being Cool” to the target audience by endorsing / attending special radio/ Tv programs.

We also created the other brand personalities (Fun /Easy going/Sporty) of cool cash by sponsoring Musical Shows and some sports events.
