LG Celebrates 21 Years in India
LG Electronics India launched an emotional yet inspirational campaign themed #CelebratingTheNew, revolving around how new innovations and new lifestyle aspirations make dreams come true, and more importantly how dreaming up is shaping a new India in 2018.
The launch of the video coincides with LG’s 21st-anniversary celebrations in India, where it is further stepping up efforts to design and manufacture innovative products and solutions that satisfy the specific requirements of Indian customers.
The heartwarming video is of a father and a teenage daughter wherein a father surpasses a challenge he had since his youth, through learning from her daughter.
‘Celebrating the new’ is a fresh take on every lifestyle dynamics of parent-kid relationships in India. And, how one common thing in our lives passes from generation to generation. LG has captured this philosophy as journey of “Innovation” from one generation to another in the Video.
The video begins with a teenage girl searching for something in the old boxes where she accidentally discovers a mathematics answer sheet with a score that reads 3 out of 100 marks. The answer sheet, as it turns out, belonged to her father. “Were your math so bad?” the daughter asks her father.
The video takes you into a flashback where we see a boy was being scolded by his father, who also happens to be a mathematics school teacher, for scoring bad in his math exam. The 14-year boy, who is now a father, is embarrassed and is seen roaming around the streets. The scene cuts back to the present day where he regrets running away from school after flunking the test, and how that incident has changed his life forever.
As the story moves on, we see the daughter putting her best efforts in teaching math to his father to an extent that she convinces him to appear for an exam. The girl then sends the answer sheet to her grandfather to check. In the end, we see a surprise planned for the father where the grandfather is holding his answer sheet wherein a score of 93/100 is seen.
The music that accompanies the video depicts the journey and the motive of persuading one’s dreams.
Amit Gujral, head Corporate Marketing, LG Electronics India, said: "The emotionally charged campaign is a true reflection of LG’s brand philosophy of making our customers’ dreams come true.
