Lava International Ltd., a leading Indian mobile handset and
technology solutions company, releases a digital film starring celebrated cricket superstar Gautam
Gambhir for the launch of its new smartphone Blaze X. The film conceptualised and created by 82.5,
an Ogilvy Company is laced with humour creating excitement amongst the audiences for the new
phone designed and manufactured in India. The campaign #BlazekaCraze aims to celebrate and
connect with the fans of Lava Blaze, a series featuring prominent hits like Lava Blaze Curve, Lava
Blaze Pro 5G, Lava Blaze 2 5G and Blaze 5G.
The campaign introduces Lava Blaze X, a disruptive new model that offers numerous high-end
features at a very affordable price point. The campaign leverages this value proposition and takes a
creative leap where people- feeling betrayed by their currently owned phones when compared to
Blaze X resort to violently breaking them.
Gautam Gambhir comes across as a very apt choice for the campaign as he is known for his
aggressive demeanor and an upfront on field persona. It perfectly symbolizes what Blaze X stands for
– the undisputed champion of its segment.
The film unfolds in two parts – the first segment introduces Gambhir in an unusual temperament
creating inquisitiveness amongst the viewers. The second segment reveals the features of the new
Lava Blaze X which is brand’s latest offering to the Blaze fans.
