Senior Copywriter at Dentsu Creative. Authored the launch campaign for the Maruti Suzuki Dzire facelift.
The brief
Build perceived premium for a refined facelift.
The tension
The guardrails were tight. Luxury was off the table. Premium was discouraged.
That is a harder brief than it first reads. The ask was a feeling the brand had explicitly ruled out claiming, on a product whose changes were refinements rather than reinvention.
The resolution
Pull premium through the customer rather than the product.
The Dzire driver gets the upgrade. Once the person is the one who has moved up, the car becomes the obvious choice rather than the argument.
If you have arrived, you arrive in a Dzire.
