Youva Originals- Bringing out the creator in millions Our services Social Media Marketing Client: Youva - Navneet Publications Time Spent: June 2021 - Present Campaign Objective India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25, and for a brand like Youva, where the key target audience is primarily students starting from junior school till college, the pandemic caused a significant upheaval. As schools were compelled to go online. Our objective was to keep up the morale of our key target group. This is the story of how a leading stationery brand – Youva, from the house of Navneet Publications, brought this face-to-face physical interaction to millions at once and mobilised their key target group to explore their artistic side. This is the thought that gave rise to the property- Youva Originals. Idea Youva believes in encouraging children to discover the #creatorinyou. So we created an online tutorial format for the DIY (Do it yourself) art series where we experimented with different techniques and styles using the wide range of Youva products, from paper to scissors to sketch pencils. These videos would consist of simple art projects to inspire the younger generation. Plan of Action The strategy was to showcase techniques highlighting the month's star product. All Youva Originals videos were planned and shot in our in-house studio to bring cohesiveness to the theme. Phase - 1 Website We started by creating an attractive logo unit which was animated and used in each film. Phase - 2 The artists were selected after deliberation based on their strengths- Cartoon Sketching Double exposure painting Stencil painting Brush painting Origami Puppet making and much more! Phase - 3 The screen-by-screen guidance and thumbnails are curated for each video individually to capture the attraction of the viewers and make it easier for children to understand. This property was established one year ago and had a dedicated set of viewers who tune in every Friday for a tutorial. Youva’s competitors like DOMS have also started an anthology similar to this post, the success on our page. Usage of Creativity Creativity is part of our fibre for a brand that stands to bring out the #CreatorInYou. Each video highlights a new genre of art and craft, and by using animated characters as part of the video, we added that extra charm. Through upbeat music and characters, we brought out the message in a creative manner. The campaign helped to energise the environment, thus increasing engagement amongst kids and parents that brought positive energy to beat the pandemic blues.

Youva- Engaging with the youth, parents and teachers during the pandemic Our services Digital Marketing Client: Youva- Navneet Publications Time Spent: Mar- Sep 2021 Campaign Objective As one of the top 5 stationery brands, Navneet’s aim was to establish its relevance and empathy with its key customers through Youva’s brand communications. We targeted the three affected segments by rolling out campaigns in phases, in an effort to help them overcome the effects of Coronavirus. We chose to adopt a positive approach amidst the challenges while maintaining the brand proposition of - 'The creator in you’. As kids, teachers and parents were grappling with the idea of online learning and facing several challenges, we wanted to remind them of an alternative world they can escape to through their creativity. Idea Youva’s brand proposition – ‘The Creator in You’ was leveraged in a phased manner, using three clear chronological opportunities. We approached and involved each target audience separately and came up with a unique idea and concept to uplift the spirits of children, parents and teachers in successive phases of the campaign. Children/Students - The pandemic had put immense pressure on children as they shifted to an online model of learning with little interpersonal interaction. When one of the key festive occasions - Holi, the festival of colours – arrived, it presented the right opportunity to give children a chance to play with colours. With the pandemic-induced lockdown forcing kids to stay indoors, we thought of a fun way to encourage playing a safe Holi, promoting our colouring products in the process, through an innovative AR filter and creatives on social media. Parents – As the 2nd wave wound down and adults began leaving the house for work, we wanted to remind them to be safe while keeping in sync with our brand proposition of - ‘The creator in you’. We used the key influencers for parents - children to deliver this message through a fun and heartfelt film. This message was amplified through influencers, as well as Youva’s distributors and retailers – the people who drive our sales. Teachers - Our 3rd important stakeholder, who influence kids every day, were also facing a tremendous challenge of shifting to the online model of teaching. With so many brands already covering the ‘challenge’ aspect, we wanted to do something different. ? Plan of Action The phased campaign had a detailed targeting approach. The creatives and videos released as a part of our campaigns on the brand’s owned channels were re-posted across social media platforms to target new audiences that helped to emphasize the agenda and convey the messaging of Youva being more than just a brand that sells stationery. Phase - 1 Holi Campaign - A virtual Holi party for the Youva fans! Which Holi Star are you! A festival like Holi which has the youngsters out on the streets celebrating with colours and loved ones was put at a halt because of Covid. Their lives were affected to a large extent throughout. We created an AR Holi filter by the name of Youva Holistars. A virtual Holi party for the Youva fans! This filter had interesting Holi character stickers, like- Red Rollercoaster Green Goer Yellow Yapper Blue Brainy Orange Obsession Phase - 2 Get Well Soon India! The other affected segment were the parents. Be it the stress they had due to work from home, the commitments they had, taking care of the family to stay safe from the spread of the virus etc. we created a beautiful film called Get Well Soon India for Youva. The children came together to spread the awareness of the Dos and Don’ts during the pandemic and how we as a nation can follow certain norms to fight the Covid times, emotionally and practically. This film was a beautiful amalgamation of creativity with strong messaging. Phase - 3 Celebrating the spirit of Teachers The other most affected segment were the teachers. Adapting to new ways of teaching, acquiring the knowledge of becoming tech-savvy, shifting from the standard blackboard and chalk to suddenly laptops and keyboards was a drastic shift. We realised this change and stepped in again to uplift and celebrate the indomitable spirit of the teachers.
