Nickelodeon gears up to promote Motu-Patlu

MUMBAI: Nickelodeon is going gung-ho to promote its recently launched show titled ‘Motu Patlu‘.

The show is being advertised aggressively on the network besides being promoted through on-ground activities and strategic promotional partnerships to ensure optimal reach.

The channel has tied up with retail chain Pantaloons and will be actively present across 18 Pantaloons outlets in Mumbai and Delhi to ensure "maximum" brand visibility.

In an attempt to be present wherever kids are, Nickelodeon has also tied-up with gaming outlet - Timezone. Here kids can participate in the ‘Motu Patlu‘ contest through the Kiosk‘s at Timezone and also sample the show, while they win ‘Motu Patlu‘ merchandise.

Additionally, Motu Patlu‘s Signature dish Chole Bhature will be available and promoted across Bombay Blue outlets in Mumbai. Kids can also engage with the interactive Motu Patlu tray mats at all the outlets.

Promotions will also be a part of the on-going Nickelodeon workshops at Hobby Ideas where kids will be exposed to the flavour of the show while they participate in ‘Art Jam‘ workshops and bring out their creative side by making Motu Patlu chocolate boxes and more. The activity spans across five cities and over seven centres.

Sonic and Nickelodeon India executive vice president and business head Nina Elavia Jaipuria said, "This experiential marketing campaign brings alive Motu Patlu, engaging kids through innovative initiatives at multiple touch-points. Our unconventional campaign connects with kids and reaches out to them wherever they are. Thus, creating awareness for Motu Patlu."

Nickelodeon has also planned engagements through Van Activations in over 30 towns like Lucknow, Kanpur, Allahabad, Varanasi, Agra and Mathura in Uttar Pradesh and Gwalior, Khandwa, Indore, Ratlam, Bhopal and Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. The Van Activation has been designed to give kids the feel of the show and make show and its characters familiar with the kids.

To ensure the "right connect" with the tech-savvy generation Nickelodeon has also launched Motu Patlu‘s official website - Motupatlu.in. The site hosts a content mix that includes Motu Patlu games, contests and downloads.

In addition, motupatlu.in will also be promoted through a digital campaign that entails banners on kid gaming websites, video banners and innovative rich media banners that allows the users to interact on the banner itself. The show will also be promoted on Nick India‘s official page on Facebook and on twitter.

As a part of the ATL promotions, Motu Patlu will also be promoted across various General Entertainment Channels and print advertisements in leading comics.

Nickelodeon has roped in legendary lyricist Gulzar to create a title track composed by musician Sandesh Shandiliya and sung by Sukhwinder Singh. The title track of twosome‘s jodi will be played on all radio stations across Mumbai and Delhi and several other cities in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

Motu Patlu airs every day at 6:30 pm on Nickelodeon.
