Summary
Terribly Tiny Tales (TTT) and Haier Appliances India have collaborated to launch the second season of their Mother's Day campaign - Mothership. This year's campaign focuses on the evolving bond between mothers and their children, featuring relatable stories showcasing how mothers adapt to meet their family's needs.
Objective
For Mother’s Day, Haier was looking for ways to celebrate the Gen Z children and mother bond, and at the same time, speak about some of their integral brand features.
Creative Idea
Mothership is TTT’s dedicated IP for Mother’s Day. In collaboration with Haier Appliances, TTT launched season two of Mothership.
TTT turned to its young Gen Z audience base to understand their equation with their mothers. The result was an insight based on a simple truth: moms are constantly trying to keep up with their young kids. This became the theme of Mothership Season 2.
The central piece of the campaign was a vertical film for Instagram featuring Rukhsar Rehman and Devishi Madaan as a Gen Z mother-daughter duo. The film captures the way they make space for each other in their lives, with the help of their Haier appliances.
Execution
The campaign's central piece, a 90-second Instagram-first film, depicted a conversation between a mother and her teenager, featuring contemporary Gen Z language like “situationship” and “breadcrumbing”. The film portrays the mother's response to her child's communication, leading to a meaningful twist and a heartwarming conclusion.
Accompanying the film was a robust social campaign on TTT, utilizing diverse storytelling formats including video, static content, and interactive strategies. The objective was to amplify the campaign's message through TTT's broad audience reach and engagement, employing a range of storytelling techniques to deepen connections with viewers.
Results
On Instagram handles, the campaign garnered the following:
- On ttt IG - 1.5 mn
- On Haier IG - 16Mn
- On Haier YT - 2.6 Mn
- Total views 20Mn ++
