When a pun absolutely needs to be intended the #FanHoJaoge campaign by Luminous Power Technologies does justice to its ‘Fans’ and it’s ‘Fans’. Confused?
So, what does it really take to convert users in the social space into fans of fans! That’s right; the #FanHoJaoge initiative was all about co-creation, creativity, smart communication and absolute consumer engagement with the brand. Luminous Power Technologies, a leader in inverters and batteries now in the direction of ‘Home Solutions’ is looking at opportunities in an expanded home retail product range.
The #FanHoJaoge campaign was conceived to establish a link between ‘Fans’ and ‘Luminous Power Technologies’ in the consumers mind. What better way to boost up the retaining power of a message in the minds of consumers than to have them engage with the brand on a personal level!
Amazingly simple yet highly impactful, the #FanHoJaoge initiative required users to participate by writing appropriate endings to complete the messaging for a film. The prize for the top three scripts was credits being given to the winners and personalized autographs for each of the winners from none other than the God of Cricket ‘Sachin Tendulkar’ himself.
Objectives -
- To position Luminous Power Technologies from being a leader in the ‘inverters and batteries’ space to the Home Electrical Solutions provider.
- To build a strong connect with the social media audience via the #FanHoJaoge Campaign
- To encourage conversations around the brand and its new product range
Execution -
At the crux of the campaign is an incomplete film that lacked an ending and the campaign rolled out from there on. The film featured a certain Bhallaji, trying to catch a few winks of sleep in the afternoon but not being able to because of the sound of rattling drums coming from a neighbor’s home. Watch the film here.
Participants had to write an appropriate end to the film. A select panel of judges selected the entries based on engagement, relevance and creativity. Three top entries were selected and the films were completed with the scripts suggested by them.

While the film was integral to the idea, the initiative ensured content around fans (the product), the designs, the distribution was integrated. As the social world interacted with the film, curiosity led them to discover the product, the designs and more. Facebook educated, while Twitter leveraged on existing conversations around fans, and power cuts and interiors. Canvas pages showcased range, pricing, inquiry forms and a click to order.
