    Submitted by ITV Production on May 26

    Mumbai: L?Oreal Paris dominates the outdoor landscape yet again, this time with diva Sonam Kapoor. Milestone Brandcom, one of the leading and fastest growing integrated Out-of-Home brand communications agencies in India, brings the latest anti hairfall range by L?Oreal Paris out onto the city streets of India.

    L?Oreal Fall repair 3x is a new range of Hair care products launched by L?Oreal Paris that reduces hair fall caused due to breakage by 90%. Its unique formula is enriched with Arginine which energizes the hair roots to help repair hair from root to tip. The triple anti hairfall action nourishes the hair root, restructures hair fibre and makes hair stronger. India was the first market in Asia to witness the launch of this product as hair fall is the No. 1 concern of Indian women across all age groups. The campaign objective was to highlight that the triple benefits of L?Oreal Paris?s Fall repair shampoo with emphasis on its action on the hair roots. The campaign targeted women who face problems of hair fall, between the age group of 25 and 45, and therefore young and vivacious Sonam Kapoor was aptly chosen as the brand ambassador of this revolutionary new launch.

    The media mandate to Milestone Brandcom was to launch the brand amongst the vast consumer segment in India with a big bang by capitalizing on the beautiful brand visuals and a single minded message ?Hairfall, Get to the root of it?. In view of these objectives, we devised an all pervasive OOH media plan to tactfully target the TG ? mainly women by following their movement within a city ?along arterial roads, key junction?s, transit and congregation points right up to the last mile of purchase.

    The media mix was an assortment of large format billboards and gantries to create impact, bus shelters to build reach & frequency, pole kiosks to drive saliency and mall media & female security panels to influence point of purchase. The bright and bold colors of the creative, Sonam?s captivating visuals and the right media mix helped create top of mind recall. The campaign was executed across 7 cities at about 520 total touch points said Imtiyaz Vilatra, Founder Member & Managing Partner at Milestone Brandcom.

    Custom shaped pole kiosks were used to drive salience and provide continuous presence in key stretches, arterial routes & high traffic junctions across the city, building maximum frequency & TOM awareness. The ordinary 3*6 rectangular kiosks were converted into the shape of the Loreal bottles thereby assuring dominance in select target areas. The creatively cut kiosks & the vibrant layouts looked strikingly beautiful during day & night.

    To further dominate the city streets of Mumbai, Loreal Paris zones were created at various key junctions across the city (Worli Naka, Cadell Road & Juhu). All the media billboards, bus shelters & kiosks at these traffic junctions were taken up to display L?Oreal Paris?s new launch thus ensuring a unique & premium positioning befitting the brand. Pankaj Sharma, Group Product Manager at L?Oreal Paris complimented Milestone Brandcom on their execution abilities and said he looked forward to working with them again. He says ?The OOH campaign was well planned and executed. Milestone Brandcom leveraged the creative very well and created a great impact. Our first consumers of Fall Repair do recall the message from the Outdoor campaign. It was a flawless execution and gave us a good mileage at the time of IPL hype?.

    Submitted by ITV Production on Apr 23

    Name: Pankaj Sharma

    Job Profile: Actor

    Sun Sign: Cancer, 10 July 1976

    Educational Experience
    I'm originally from Bombay. After I finished my schooling, I went to Delhi and did my graduation from Hindu College. I haven't done any professional course in acting, just attended a month's acting workshop in college where professionals from the National School of Drama (NSD) taught us the basics.

    Professional Experience
    When I was in Delhi, I worked in a serial called School Days, which aired on DD1. I came back to Bombay since my parents were based here.

    I got an opportunity to work in serials and there began my serious career as an actor. I've worked in Amaanat, Sanjhi, Aan which aired on Zee TV. Then I also worked in a serial called Daddy Samjha Karo (Sab TV) and Bazaar which aired on DD1.

    I've also done a few commercials like an ad for Coke which airs only in south east Asian countries. I've featured in ads for brands like Close Up, Frooti, Fortune Oil, Pizza Corner and Rediff.com.

    Currently, I'm not doing any serials. I'm working in two movies right now but it's too early to talk about either of them and I don't want to disclose any names. One of the movies is a college based story and has newcomers in it. I play the main lead wherein I'm narrating throughout the movie. It's a very fresh movie.

    Television as career choice
    I was always very actively involved in stage shows during my school days. I had a keen interest in acting and always wanted to make a career of it and hence I am here.

    Current television scenario
    Currently the serials that are aired on television are all women oriented serials. There is hardly any scope for a man to perform. We become mere property in these serials and don't have any acting options.

    But hopefully things will change. There are a few good serials on Sahara TV which are different from the cliched serials that are shown today. So things will get better.

    Five years from now On top of the charts !! Hope to see my posters hanging on the bedroom walls of all the girls!!

    Well....on a more serious note, I am open to doing serials but I want to give myself four or five months to sink into the film industry and get familiar with it. At the end of the day my aim is to make it big in the industry.

    Hobbies
    I like swimming and playing snooker. Since my dad has been associated with the Indian Navy, I have tried all types of adventure sports like scuba diving, para sailing etc, but I wouldn't call it as a hobby because I don't do it on a regular basis.

    Idea of enjoyment
    I love going out with friends and chilling out. I basically am a person who does my own thing and I'm happy doing just that !
