Client Background:
A digital platform serving urban apartment communities wanted to extend its reach beyond major metros into Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities where Hindi is the dominant language. With strong traction in English-speaking markets, the challenge was to win the trust of middle-income families in Delhi NCR and neighboring regions by adapting its messaging through culturally grounded storytelling.
Challenges:
The brand’s earlier communication leaned toward corporate language and technical features. In the Hindi belt, this approach lacked emotional pull and local flavor. To improve adoption, the brand needed to:
- Replace generic messaging with real-life society scenarios.
- Use humor and regional slang to break through emotional distance.
- Showcase utility in everyday Hindi-speaking homes.
- Adapt content to short-form, highly shareable digital formats.
Objectives
- Build emotional resonance with Hindi-speaking families.
- Showcase day-to-day apartment living issues like guest entry confusion and parcel delays.
- Use humor and culturally familiar characters to foster trust.
- Demonstrate app benefits through storytelling rather than features.
- Deliver a short, memorable video optimized for WhatsApp, Reels, and Shorts.
