The festival of intimacy has been soaked in the new wave and the new way of celebrating, recreating traditions, and reminiscing memories with Holi 2021 Campaigns & Creatives.
At the peak of one of the biggest spikes in active cases during the pandemic, Holi 2021 transformed into a 'touch-me-not' affair, with campaigns and creatives being distinctly different when it comes to touching upon the conventional Holi themes.
But brands also maintain a sense of normalcy by reviving nostalgic Holi memories, with a few timeless elements, like the gujiyas one can savor during, before, or after the pandemic, and the loved ones that can stay apart, but still stay close to the heart.
Along with the old traditions, a few brands also brought in new colors. With the increasingly polarized views in the world and growing hate and resistance towards opposing thoughts, Bajaj Allianz Life draws parallels between different colors and different views, and how all views and colors can co-exist.
Chandramohan Mehra, Chief Marketing Officer, Bajaj Allianz Life said, “The campaign reflects on widely prevalent behavior about strong resistance to engage divergent views quite evident on WhatsApp groups, social media or even family dinner table".
Nest-In highlights the gloomy circumstances of the post-pandemic world and the dent that the impact of the pandemic has left on few lives.

Prabha Narasimhan, Executive Director & VP – Home Care, South Asia, Hindustan Unilever, mentioned that the campaign addresses the emotional needs of the vulnerable segment of the population, who have been deprived of the social warmth during the pandemic. "It is a natural extension of our brand philosophy of ‘Daag Achhe Hain’, in which we have always shown children getting dirty while doing good deeds & demonstrating good values. We do hope that people are inspired to find their own unique ways to connect with their families this festive season".
