A Transition from Acting to ExistingMother's Day campaigns have honoured mothers' unwavering commitment and deeds for generations, from raising their families to handling innumerable duties. Cetaphil Baby India is taking a different approach this year. The brand is focusing on mothers by urging them to take a rare and much-needed break with its new campaign, "Have a Seat, Mom!"
The message is straightforward but profound: 'Mom, take a break, celebrate yourself'
The Main Takeaway: Mothers Seldom Honor ThemselvesMothers today take on many roles, including mentor, partner, caregiver, and professional. However, in the chaos of everyday life, they hardly ever have time to pause.
An Activation with Two Facets: Online and On-GroundThe Cetaphil baby campaign is reaching out to Moms across India, a potent combination of experiential marketing and digital storytelling makes the campaign come to life.
1. A heart-warming Digital Campaign Launch Video: On Cetaphil Baby India's official Instagram page, a poignant video serves as the campaign's opening. It shows real mothers writing sincere letters to themselves in which they show strength, vulnerability, and pride.
Participation of the Community: Mothers from all over India are encouraged to compose their own letters and post them on social media. These letters are more than just content; they are glimpses into a mother's heart that highlight her growth.
Engagement: To join the movement, users are encouraged to tag @cetaphilbabyindia and use the hashtag #HaveASeatMom.
2. Activation of On-Ground MallCetaphil Baby is establishing serene, thoughtfully designed areas in two of India's largest shopping centers.
Mothers can literally, "have a seat," and take a break from their otherwise hectic routines. Cetaphil Baby have set up Massage Chairs in these malls, where mothers can get a cool foot massage while they watch their kids play in the safe and child friendly fun-zone.
3. Cetaphil Baby has invited Dermatologists and Paediatricians to advice and interact with the Mothers, so they can take the opportunity to get an expert consultation about their or their baby's skin health.
A Letter to Herself: Honouring the Inner WomanAs part of the experience, branded journaling kits and takeout cards are provided, giving the moment a tangible and unforgettable quality. The idea of journaling is to allow an in-depth self-reflection by asking mothers to write to themselves, either as their younger selves or as their current selves. This is an opportunity for each mom to see the distance she has travelled and take a pause to acknowledge herself for it.
Beyond a Brand: Cetaphil Baby is the Mother's partner in their parenting journeyCetaphil Baby understands that Parenting is journey full of tough decisions. And thru this daily chaos and stresses of bringing up a small child, we join in to celebrate and cherish each mom's Parenting ki Nayi Parampara.
Cetaphil Baby, offers not just an emotional assurance to the Mom, but thru its range of paediatrician-recommended and gentle on skin products for infants, also a science backed choice that she can rely on, anytime.
Become a Part of the Movement"Have a Seat, Mom!" is a Mother's Day movement rather than merely a campaign. The goal is to provide mothers in India with the time, and a pause to take a break.
