LG rolls out new campaign to promote Cookie PEP phones

LG has unveiled its latest campaign for its Cookie PEP range of cell phones, featuring its three brand ambassadors, Genelia D'Souza, John Abraham and Abhay Deol. The campaign has been conceptualised by Rediffusion Y&R.

The campaign broke with three teasers that captured the quirks and personalities of each of the celebrities. John’s teaser showed him playfully flirting with a couple of pretty girls. Abhay’s teaser focused on his love for clothes and his compulsion to look stylish.

"Mobile phone is growing very fast in the youth segment LG Mobiles has positioned itself as a fun loving, free spirited brand. This year LG Mobiles plans to introduce a strong & differentiated product line up. Our association with celebrities is because of our focus to capture the youth market. The Cookie PEP phone is all about fun, entertainment, networking & with just the right applications that  you would need in your phone," said Sudhin Mathur, business head, mobile communications, LG Electronics India.


“As the name suggests, the phone will enable our young mobile users to have an unordinary fun experience. It delivers all the essentials in communication, multimedia and entertainment in a delightfully compact form, he added.

"We've understood that young people travel their life in gangs. The age of the smouldering loner is over. And the concept of fun itself has changed a lot in India. Simply put, we always have a good time in our group, sometimes even at a friend's expense. We believe it's the new definition of cool. It's about what you can get away with," says Chraneeta Mann, creative head on LG.

We had three celebrities who embodied the easy going, free spiritedness of today's generation. So while the communication was all about simplicity, we kept it vibrant and fun by taking off from the light-hearted interplay that's so much a part of youth today."
