MUMBAI: Tata Salt has launched its new campaign ‘Sawaal Kijiye Apne Namak se’ to educate consumers about the quality of their salt and help them make well-informed decisions. The thought behind the 360-degree campaign is derived from the fact that, though salt is universal and one of the oldest food seasonings, there is limited knowledge about the quality of salt and its impact on health.

The TVC, conceptualised by Ogilvy and Mather, stars Konkona Sen Sharma and Tilottama Sharma as the protagonists. Designed as a series, each TVC has been shot to communicate specific product characteristics and quality markers with strong legs in digital, radio and experiential. The phases will highlight quality and purity as the key factors that consumers should consider whilst purchasing salt.

Ogilvy West chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak says, “The campaign had to urge consumers to question the purity of their salt. We demonstrated clinical tests which people can easily replicate at home.”

Tata Salt, over the years, has created a strong emotional connect with its property, ‘Desh Ka Namak’ and is now moving towards building a stronger narrative on health. The new campaign aims to bring forth the evaluation criteria for better-quality salt.

Tata Chemicals chief operating officer Richa Arora adds, "Through this campaign, we aim to encourage people to test the purity of their salt as consumption of adulterated salt may lead to serious health implications. There is an urgent need to generate awareness among the masses about the various methods to identify adulterated salt."
