MUMBAI: Lemon Communications has acquired the creative duties of the yet to debut lifestyle channel Zoom, following a multi-way pitch held earlier (February) this year.

The specifics regarding the pitch are not available, but according to information available with indiantelevision.com, Lemon won the account for "its ability to provide fresh and distinctive strategic and creative solutions."

 
 
Lemon's task at hand is to design the brand's logo identity from scratch. It has also been entrusted with developing the complete brand communications package for Zoom.

Speaking to indiantelevision.com, Lemon Communications CEO and creative director Ravi Deshpande says, "Zoom will re-define the entertainment television space in a big way. That’s something that has been kept in mind while creating the launch campaign."

 
 

The agency is looking to provide a total branding experience to the consumers that stretches across mass media, direct marketing and below the line activities. Deshpande adds, "In terms of benchmarks, we hope to set them with the launch of Zoom."

As regards TV branding per se, Deshpande opines that the basics of brand building does not really get reinvented to suit different categories. Although, having said that, he says a television channel has that sense of dynamism, especially at a product level.

Considering the television channels scenario is hugely cluttered. one only chances upon a few channels that are distinct in terms of their programming content or positioning. In such a situation to get the viewer to tune into a particular programme most definitely warrants a mammoth task.

"When most TV channels want to advertise, they have to run it either in print or air it on their own channel as the competitors won't run their ads. This way your choice to reach the consumer is limited. So it's all the more challenging to be taking up the branding of Zoom."
