Mumbai: Digital payments platform PhonePe on Thursday announced the launch of a new TV campaign for the gold category. On air for six weeks, the campaign comprises multiple 25-30 second ad films showcasing the ease and safety of buying gold on the PhonePe app. It will run on TV as well as on the brand’s digital platforms.

PhonePe has tailored the messaging to appeal to a diverse set of audiences by customising the storylines and actors. The campaign brings back the famed ‘Inspector Desai (played by Aamir Khan) and Shinde duo for audiences in the northern, western and eastern parts of the country. Additionally, it uses popular songs in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam to appeal to South audiences.

Commenting on the launch, PhonePe, head of mutual funds & gold, Terence Lucien, said, “Our aim is to help people from across India fulfill their aspirations of building their gold investments. We provide easy and secure access to the highest quality 24K gold coins and bars at the best prices that are safely delivered right to the customer’s doorstep by our gold partners.”

PhonePe launched the gold category over three years ago in association with MMTC-PAMP and SafeGold. Customers can click on 'Buy 24K Gold' under the ‘My Money’ section of the PhonePe app and order gold coins and bars starting from 0.5 grams. In addition to the best prices, they are also assured of insured delivery and tamper-proof packaging.
