Mumbai: IGP is partnering with Talented Agency to launch their new brand campaign "Amazing Gifts, Samay Par," which tackles a problem as old as time- gifting. Every gifting opportunity- whether festivals or personal occasions is time-bound. Think about it- why else would we invent prefixes like “belated” and “advanced” for gifting occasions? Here in comes IGP, a D2C retailer of personalised, floral, gourmet, and handmade gifting products. The brand has a global footprint with customers spanning 100+ countries and 1000+ cities in India and has created over 10 million stories of love and joy so far.
IGP CEO & founder Tarun Joshi said, “We are thrilled to partner with Talented for our 'Amazing Gifts, Samay Par' campaign. Their creative vision and strategic approach have been instrumental in bringing this campaign to life. Together, we’ve crafted a series of films that traverse various eras—from the Ice Age to the future of robotics—celebrating the joy of gifting across time. Each film emphasises the importance of making these moments truly count, showcasing that the value of a gift is amplified when it arrives at the perfect time. This campaign is a testament to the power of timely gifting, and we’re excited to see how it resonates with our audience.”
Talented Agency founding member & creative Leena Gupta says, “Time isn't just the oldest narrator, it’s the oldest character embedded in Indian pop culture. So we got the very voice of Harish Bhimani to show you gifting occasions across six different timelines, in the hope of reminding you to gift better via IGP. We travelled back through the Ice Age to the Stone Age, to even the 3000AD Space Age.
All to intentionally break through this category full of tear-jerking ads that make you feel warm and fuzzy for a second, but don’t drive recall for the brand.”
Shivang Monga, the director, adds, “This campaign is a fever dream spanning multiple timelines and genres. We created a true emulation of all the eras we filmed in but all as if BR Chopra and his crew were making these films in the 80s. Every department’s commitment to craft shined through. Right from using chroma screens and practical effects for backgrounds, to shooting in 4:3, to adding film grain to mimic 16mm film cameras, to even using the OG Mahabharat’s instrumentation to find inspo for music, we committed to the bit. Last, but not the least, getting Harish Bhimani to become the voice of our films was the cherry on the top!”
Conceptualised by Talented and executed by First December Films, the campaign features nine films starting with a brand piece, followed by shorties for different gifting occasions, that you’ll see throughout the year.
