Gurgaon-Based Blue Vector Wins afaqs’ National Gold for the Best Content Marketing Launch

 
The Gurgaon-based Blue Vector is making a lot of buzz in the media and all for good reasons. The creative agency has recently won the AFAQs’ National gold for “ The Best Content Marketing Launch” for strategizing and executing an intriguing brand launch for “The Drunken Botanist”. 
The Drunken Botanist is a new Brewery in Cyber City Gurgaon, themed after the book by the same name written by Amy Stewart. Blue Vector took the character of the ‘Drunken Botanist’ and weaved an engaging, quirky narrative around him and integrated it across various digital touchpoints.
For example, they created curiosity posts for Facebook and Instagram and a digital teaser film to introduce audiences to the ‘Drunken Botanist’.
They also used a full-page print ad based on the Botanist and employed blogger outreach program to promote the brand at the micro level. Post launch they created a live-shot social-engagement Digital Film as well.
Elaborating more about the branding campaign, Piyush Kedia, the CEO of Blue Vector said, “The brand (The Drunken Botanist) required a launch campaign that could help it stand out in the hyper-saturated local market of bars, restaurants and QSR chains. The Food and Beverage Social Media landscape was saturated with Food Photography, Food Influencers, and Advertorials which gave audiences a great feel for the food and the place but didn’t do much to build a memorable ‘Brand experience’. We thought that we should completely push the envelope for the ‘Content’ that a standalone food and beverage brand could delight audiences with and also challenge long-established local brands like ‘Social’.”
He also talked about his company Blue Vector, the kind of services it provides and also its USP. In the words of Piyush Kedia, “We are a service company which provides everything an ad agency does but with higher affordability and explorability in terms of the creative approaches that we can take.”
Their client, Sahil Sambhi of the Drunken Botanist was all praises for Blue Vector. He said, “Blue Vector has been instrumental in giving Drunken Botanist this awesome, crazy brand image that it has today. They created a truly 360-degree campaign with a strong narrative thread flowing through everything. I take care of multiple restaurants but none of them have been raved about as much as TDB! My favorite, and everybody else’s also, was the teaser video with its crazy rap. I wish them the best.”
