You must be feeling “something something” after reading this “honey bunny” title in TelecommTalk. Well, that makes the headlines for today: Idea Cellular and its all famous Honey Bunny Song which could soon be as influential as the famous “Why this Kolaveri” song.
Seems like IDEA has hit the right spot with its new honey bunny campaign! With a tagline of ”What a network” , Idea tries to ring all India with this television campaign.
In case, if the ”honey bunny” is looking very unfamiliar we strongly recommend you to watch this TV ad by idea.
With a diversified country like ours, the advertisement has done its best to reach everyone at once. The advertisement loops around a simple phone ringtone and how different people listen to it and interpret differently by singing it differently. The advertisement talks about how good is idea’s network coverage from Kashmir to Kerala ringing everyone’s phone.
What makes the song in campaign so special is something unknown, may be the usage of English freely (Butler English) as that of Kolaveri. The words “Honey Bunny”, “You are my pumpkin pumpkin” could catch anyone’s mind immediately.
Idea cellular has a strong history of creating effective TV campaigns keeping mass in mind. One of their previous popular campaigns being “Use Mobile Save Paper”.
By the time the article was published, the TV commercial in youtube has grabbed more than 200,000 views. You can download the “Honey Bunny” ringtone from their official website here. Do Let us know your views on this TV commercial by commenting below..

Though Campaign is good and catchy for sure , however they are not able to communicate message properely . As per their CMO campaign means to depict network so as you can be always connected with your “Hunny Bunny ” across Country. The word Hunny bunny is never expressed in entire Tv commercials, they are just focussing on catching up the Song with Teasers. Guess they should come up immidietly with some new Campaign to showcase Hunny Bunny as their Big Property with various TV commecials and ATL stuff. They could have Played “Hummy Bunny ” in Big way as Real Character. OR atleast thy should explain in their Campaign as everyone we loves our Dear ones are our Hunny Bunny so Stay connected on Idea with your loved ones which is missing ! Woke Up Idea Brand Team

In 2G scam, they lost licenses and in recent 2G Auction, they restored it. So informing users that they are back. Nothing eXtra Ordinary.

Jagannath December 13, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Idea is in the 3rd position in private Indian Telecomunicaion. So it always follow Airtel and Vodafone though it was never be the cheap provider. There is no network coverage like the biggies.

When will be the UI of TELECOMTALK changed to its previous UI ? I don’t feel comfortable with it for browing in s40 mobile ! Change it asap !
Dex Morgan December 13, 2012 at 12:28 pm
One of the most annoying sounding songs in the history of television. Makes me boil with anger the moment I hear it. Downright cheap and desperate sounding jingle. And yes im an Idea user.
Ripudaman Singh December 13, 2012 at 4:41 pm
Ditto! I agree.
Nagesh December 15, 2012 at 3:42 am
same here, i dont like it. just a stupid meaning, there is no comparison between kolaveri and Hunny bunny…Kolaveri is just a massive hit in Indian songs…no comparison guys
TELETALK December 13, 2012 at 12:11 pm
if idea is realize his network via this ad i don’t agree with him because in Gujarat idea covered 100% area by strong network but when i travel in rajasthan past month i feel ideas poor network in rajasthan so Kashmir to kanyakumari full network is not a true story
if anyone have state wise network details of idea cellular please share with us like this
Gujarat
vodafone = 100 % coverage
idea = 100 %
airtel = 99 %
bsnl = 90 %
reliance = 85 %
docomo(gsm) = 50 % ( tower on every taluka place not in villages )
videocon = tie up with docomo gsm so as docomo network same
aircel = tie up with docomo gsm
uninor = 50 % ( tower on every taluka place not in villages )
