Tata Docomo Kicks Off New Campaign with Bollywood Icon Ranbir Kapoor

Cutting through the clutter that the Indian telecom landscape finds itself in—with customers forced to jostle with confusing and complicated products, services and tariff plans—Tata Docomo is ‘Doing the New’ again, with the launch of its new brand campaign, aptly titled ‘Keep It Simple’.

The icing on the cake is the telling depiction of the simplicity in Tata Docomo’s refreshing new campaign by none other than the Company’s new brand ambassador—Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor.

And what better time to launch this exciting and innovative campaign than during the Indian Premier League, which will feature all of India’s 15 cricketing heroes who recently brought home the ICC World Cup! With impactful rendition of many an act(s) that mark our daily experiences in life and with our mobile phones, Ranbir will drive home the Keep It Simple message through the April and May months of the IPL series.

Tata DOCOMO’s unique Keep It Simple Campaign is in a form of a stand-up comedy show with many episodes, which will be aired during the course of this IPL season. It focuses largely on how Tata DOCOMO simplifies the telecom experience, and hence the consumer’s life, by providing differentiated products and services.

Each individual advertisement starts by illustrating a complexity in the category, and presents the Tata DOCOMO product and/or service as a means of simplifying things. Scheduled to go on air on 8 April 2011, this campaign is simple, captures the various moods of Ranbir—depicting those of Tata DOCOMO.

The new brand ambassador, Ranbir Kapoor, expressing his excitement at this new connection in his life and said “What really connects me to Tata Docomo is the youth appeal that they have. They keep it really simple, and that’s what the whole format of this campaign is all about—Keep It Simple, Silly. We have too many things in our lives to worry about.

I love the simplicity of Tata Docomo and this new campaign—it will start with making people laugh, and make their lives oh so simple… We had a blast making this campaign and I hope people have a blast watching it too,” Ranbir added.

    @Abhijit S
    As Per Your Comment Deepika Padukone is The Worst Actress is Right. The – Point Of TD Is It’s Network Especially I Can’t Able To Access TD’s Indoor Coverage @ Nasik, Pandarapur, Shirdi, Mumbai, Trimbakeshwar. Especially In Mumbai TD Cannot Be Accessible In Indoors Whereas Aircel, AirTel, Idea, Vodafone,MTNL Were Able To Access In Indoors Even @ Mumbai’s Siddivinayaka Temple and ISKCON TD’s Network is Useless.

    ‘Keep it simple’ tagline by Tata DoCoMo looks like a copy of Reliance earlier tagline ‘Simply Reliance’. Isn’t it?

    @Jack41089
    what is the use of installing new BTS if there is no additional spectrum and no licence in several major districts. Bhai A. Raja ne to sach me TATA ki achhe se maar li. Que me tata sbse pehle the aur spectrum mila baad me. Reliance, Swan & Etisalat DB ko preference mil gya A. Raja k through. Tabhi to TATA chillanne lage “Provide level playing field for all operators.”

    Bechara Tata docomo abhi tak A. Raja k kehar ko jhel rha h. Lets hope new telecom policy will provide level playing field and TATA could strenghten its position.

    Thanks

    yes Docomo keep doing some innovations or other rather than improve the network by putting more towers and putting an end to the customers problems. they have got many customers when they came to this industry first becoz of their 1p/second and now it is the case. rather than doing innovations, DOCOMO PL IMPROVE THE NETWORK

    Keep it simple…
    If you want free talktime,(docomo to docomo)…try this…send “PORT mobilenumber” to “1900″…you will receive a code used for MNP…now wait for 1or2 days…you will get a call from docomo that if you continue with docomo and do not apply for MNP, they will give you free talktime…I get free talktime of Rs. 20 (docomo to docomo)…try it, if it works for you…tell it to all your friends…worked for me…

    Tata Docomo’s coverage is like Deepika Paudkone, no improvment in acting skills as like docomo has no improvement in coverage. Docomo gives good offer and Deepika still gets good offers. :D :P

    @Jack41089
    you are 100% right.Firstly they need to improve their indoor coverage.

    Docomo is one of the worst operator who don’t have their own service network IND 047 in most of the district of West Bengal. If you are a Kolkata subscriber you have to pay roaming charges for outgoing local call at ? 1/ minute instead of 1paisa/sec at West Bengal Circle. You will get Vodafone, Idea or Aircel tower on those areas.

    Pehle Ranbir Virgin ka ad karta tha aur uska band baj chuka hai. Aur ab Tata Docomo ka bari hai. Friends get ready to say TATA to Tata Docomo.

    Instead of making huge statements Ranbir should clearly say that Since Virgin mobile couldn see any growth they couldn afford to pay me & hence i had to sign for another telecom company :-)

    Instead of wasting money on advertisement, if docomo spent it on towers,servers, then at least it will keep its existing customers…so instead of trying to attract more customers…try to give good service to existing customers…
