| + | MUMBAI: Bollywood's leading ladies have pipped their male counterparts on the visibility score on the telly as more brands lapped them up for advertising campaigns in 2012. Female actors saw their presence increase from 40% to 46% in the overall celebrity endorsement market on TV even as male actors stagnated over the last two years with a 38% share, reveals latest data collated by TAM, a television audience measurement agency, and exclusively shared with TOI. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Not surprisingly, sports celebrities saw their visibility decline by 8% from 2011, largely due to the lacklustre performance of the Indian cricket team. Cricketers form the biggest chunk of sports endorsements in India. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Among companies, FMCG biggies Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and Procter & Gamble (P&G) emerged as the two biggest advertisers using celebrities followed by Brooke Bond Lipton and L'Oreal India. Notably, top ten advertisers using celebrities comprised only FMCG brands. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Shahrukh Khan remained the most visible face on television with an 8% share followed by Kareena Kapoor. Other women actors among top 10 celebrities according to ad volumes were Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and Anushka Sharma. | ||
| + | |||
| + | "FMCG brands have to differentiate themselves in highly penetrated categories like soaps and shampoos. The more undifferentiated your product is, marketers need to bring in a clutter breaking tool and celebrities are a big part of the plan in that case," said Basabdutta Chowdhury, CEO of Platinum Media, a division of media buying group Madison that buys media for FMCG majors like P&G, Marico and Godrej.

MUMBAI: Bollywood's leading ladies have pipped their male counterparts on the visibility score on the telly as more brands lapped them up for advertising campaigns in 2012. Female actors saw their presence increase from 40% to 46% in the overall celebrity endorsement market on TV even as male actors stagnated over the last two years with a 38% share, reveals latest data collated by TAM, a television audience measurement agency, and exclusively shared with TOI.
Not surprisingly, sports celebrities saw their visibility decline by 8% from 2011, largely due to the lacklustre performance of the Indian cricket team. Cricketers form the biggest chunk of sports endorsements in India.
Among companies, FMCG biggies Hindustan Unilever (HUL) and Procter & Gamble (P&G) emerged as the two biggest advertisers using celebrities followed by Brooke Bond Lipton and L'Oreal India. Notably, top ten advertisers using celebrities comprised only FMCG brands.
TAM AdEx takes into account advertising volumes for its analysis and tracks the visibility of the celebrities on television. The data is not representative of ad spends or how much the celebrities earn per endorsement.
Shahrukh Khan remained the most visible face on television with an 8% share followed by Kareena Kapoor. Other women actors among top 10 celebrities according to ad volumes were Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Kajol and Anushka Sharma.
"FMCG brands have to differentiate themselves in highly penetrated categories like soaps and shampoos.

1990s
Rashi Walia
Most of us have spent best times of our life in the 90s. TV shows of 90s were beyond doubt an essential part of our lives. Sundays then meant waiting for our favorite shows the whole week and sitting in front of the television with all enthusiasm. These shows left a deep impression in our hearts leaving a lot of memories. Doordarshan was the ultimate source of entertainment during that time and color televisions had just begun to make their way in our households. More than we enjoyed watching 'Mowgli', 'Mahabharath' and the other television shows as a ritual, we thoroughly enjoyed the advertisements that came as fillers.
A trip down the memory lane of TV commercials:
Action School Time Shoes:
Class work, homework, punishment, lecture...This commercial took us to our school days. No one can forget the cute curly haired boy.
Bajaj Bulbs:
Remember the jingle "Jab main chhota baccha tha, bahut shararat karta tha..meri chori pakdi jaati...kyunki roshan karta bajaj Ab main bilkul Buddha hoon, goli khaake jeeta hun, phir bhi chori pakdi jaati..kyunki roshan karta bajaj". Who doesn't remember the old man recalling his childhood days through Bajaj bulbs! This advertisement takes us to a nostalgic trip. The jingle was catchy and evocative.
Cadbury's:
Cadbury's jingle and the girl's victory dance make us go through the good old days. The jingle 'Kuch baat hai hum sabhi mein' was a huge success making the commercial an iconic one. The girl runs in the cricket field and dances her heart out. The song and the music made this one a hit.
Classic Toothbrush:
Almost every kid of 90s wanted a classic toothbrush after watching this advertisement. You may not remember anything else but 'Lal kala pila..gulabi hara neela' by heart. The father daughter dancing and the colorful brushes was a favorite amongst the little ones.
Colgate Gel Ad:
We remember this ad by the cameo done by Aishwarya Rai. Seeing Aishwarya come down from a 60 mm screen to the small screen was a big big deal then. The jingle 'Saanson mein zinda dil taazgi' was sung by the now very popular KK.
Complan:
I remember saying 'I'm a Complan Girl' if someone asked me about my growing height. Who knew the Complan boy and girl in the commercial would turn out to be Bollywood superstars. Shahid Kapoor and Ayesha Takia were the children in the commercial making it a favorite amongst the growing kids. 'I'm a Complan Boy. I'm a Complan Girl' became an anthem for the children.
Dhara - Jalebi:
This has to be the most adorable advertisement on television. Parzan Dastur is still remembered as the Dhara Jalebi kid. The music in the commercial 'Dhara Dhara Shudh Dhara' made it a huge success. The cute little boy leaves his house because nobody loves him and goes back home after knowing that his mother has made jalebis for him. Dhara was one of the most loved cooking oil brands in India. This ad still brings out the 'awwwwhs' by being simple, sweet and yet effective.
Humara Bajaj:
Almost all of our fathers had a bajaj scooter back in the 90s. This commercial became so popular that Bajaj became the biggest automobile company in India. 'Buland Bharat ki buland tasveer: Humara Bajaj' made the whole nation patriotic. The commercial's music was splendid and beautiful and most of us are still not over it. Humara Bajaj made a storm in the 90s.
Lehar Pepsi:
It was a huge deal to see Bollywood stars in a TV commercial. This ad launched Aishwarya Rai as Sanjana and it created a storm. It was a starry ad with Amir Khan, Mahima Choudhry and Aishwarya Rai in it. Aish's three second cameo in this commercial made it an overnight success. The commercial was a path breaker for Pepsi.'Yahi Hai Right Choice Baby' was on everyone's lips. The tagline became popular making people buy Pepsi as it was the 'right choice'.
Lifebuoy:
Who isn't familiar with the tagline 'tandurusti ki raksha karta hai Lifebuoy? If you were into sports, you had to bathe with lifebuoy. This classic commercial changed the brand's face making it the most famous bathing soap. The brand got synonymic with health as Lifebuoy hai jahan, tandurusti hai wahan ! The commercial still makes us hum the jingle whenever on air.
Lijjat Paapad:
If you are a 90s kid, you surely remember the famous bunny singing 'ho ho ho lijjat paapad'. The 'karram kurrram' paapad ad featured Ramdas Padhye's Rabbit puppet. The laughter of the bunny turned out to be the USP of the commercial. The commercial had a rustic middle class touch to it and made the yummy crispy paapads world famous.
Liril:
Who can forget the super cute and bubbly Preity Zinta as the Liri girl in this commercial? Dancing under the waterfall with the lime and lemony soap, this ad was one of the iconic TV commercials. The jingle 'La la la la....' still brings a smile on our face on listening to it. Riding the soap bubble, Preity stole this show and brought freshness to the advertisement. It was also one of the earliest colored ads on Indian television.
Mother Dairy:
Doodh, doodh, doodh ; doodh hai wonderful, Pee sakte hai roz glass full; doodh, doodh, doodh..... I remember humming this jingle the whole day. This advertisement was the most fun one of that time. Everybody remembered the whole song by heart. The advertisement did what together was every mom's mission - make us drink milk. The commercial pointed at the advantages of drinking milk by not sounding boring like a teacher. This commercial brought a different tangent to our lives making children love milk. The music, the video and the characters in the ad made it lively and energetic.
Nerolac Paints:
We cannot forget the jingle 'Jab Ghar Ki Raunak badhani ho, deewaron ko jab sajana ho, Nerolac'. They paint walls while singing this catchy jingles and making music from paint brushes and paint boxes. This advertisement is unforgettable.
Nirma: Soap
The memorable tune 'Tum husn pari tum jaane jahan' featured a stunning Sonali Bendre brought the young model and brand Nirma to stellary heights. Sonali was seen enjoying around in exotic locations. You surely remembered the jingle by heart as a kid
Nirma: Washing Powder
Ever since the first ad, Nirma, Hema, Rekha, Jaya and Pushpa have surely changed but the jingle has been a constant. 'Hema, Rekha, Jaya aur Pushpa..sabki pasand Nirma' is known by almost everyone of us. The music and the lyrics go so synced that Nirma's commercial became an anthem making washing clothes look like an easy chore out of a fairy tale!
Onida:
The Onida devil sold millions of TV sets! A bald guy with devil horns on his head introduced a lot of features of Onida TV making it the coolest ad of that time. The Onida devil was a favourite in every household.
Pan Parag:
How many of you remember the Baaration ka swaagat Pan Parag se hona chahiye? This classic commercial had the legendary actors Shammi Kapoor and Ashok Kumar together and this was the only time these two actors have worked together. This advertisement still has a high recall value due to the star cast and ofcourse due to the social message of no dowry through it. It is still known as one of the best pieces of advertisements.
Perk:
Preity Zinta was at her cutest in this commercial. Her career started from this advertisement. The cute bubbly college girl Preity Zinta sitting in a hunger strike ate Perk flashing her dimples. The jingle 'Apna le khushi har pal ki' was a soothing one making Preity Zinta a diva of bollywood overnight.
Rasna:
Rasna's TV commercial featured the cute little girl Ankita Zaveri with the tagline 'I love you Rasna'. This is one of the famous 90s commercial showing how simple life was when we were kids. The ad depicts how the little girl gets happiness on her birthday after being served a chilled glass of Orange Rasna.
Sundrop Cooking Oil:
We all remember the little boy in his yellow jumpsuit running around giant puris, gulab jamuns and dosa, summer salting his way through food while his mother chased him. The commercial grew on us due to its cuteness quotient and made our taste bud tingle. The tagline 'Healthy Oil for healthy people' made the cooking oil commercial a huge success.
Titan:
Titan melted everyone's heart by showing the bond between a father and a daughter on her wedding. A fragment from Mozart's Symphony 25 has gone on to define India's most iconic watch brand. The TV commercial was exceptionally phenomenal and touched the emotional chord of its viewers.
Zandu Balm:
Zandu Balm, Zandu Balm, Peeda haari balm, sardi sar dard peeda ko pal mein door kare Zandu balm...We still hum this song while applying Zandu Balm. This old nostalgic ad was again known for its catchy song and the mother-daughter relationship! And in case you are not from the 90s, check out the commercial to know about Malaika Khan's 'Munni Badnam' inspiration.
