A Homecoming Celebration with Vivo
Vivo’s Diwali 2024 campaign, “The Spirit of Homecoming,” beautifully captured the essence of the festival. The campaign focused on the emotional journey of individuals returning home to reunite with loved ones during this special time. Through heartwarming storytelling and evocative visuals, Vivo aimed to create a deep connection with its audience as Vivo marks its 10th anniversary.
The campaign depicted the joy and anticipation of returning home. The video showcased families gathering for Diwali celebrations, lighting diyas, and sharing festive meals. The campaign also emphasized the role of technology, such as Vivo smartphones, in connecting loved ones who may be physically separated.
By focusing on the emotional significance of homecoming and the power of human connection, Vivo effectively integrated their brand with the spirit of Diwali.
Speaking about the campaign, Geetaj Channana, Head of Corporate Strategy, Vivo India, said, “As we celebrate 10 years of vivo in India, this Diwali campaign is a tribute to the unbreakable connections that define us. In a world pulling us in different directions, true joy lies in moments shared with those who matter most.
At Vivo, our goal has always been to bridge distances and empower consumers to capture life’s meaningful moments. With our innovative camera technology, we enable families to preserve and revisit the joy of togetherness, wherever life takes them.”
Mayuresh Dubhashi, Chief Creative Officer, FCB India highlighting the thought behind the campaign said, “Every festive season, every parent across India, has just one question for their children – ‘When are you coming home?’ Sometimes, it takes the form of words, asked matter of factly, in a phone conversation. And sometimes, it takes the form of pictures – missing fairy lights, that you would help put over the doorway, a missing rangoli, that you would help decorate the verandah with, or a missing smile, that you, and only you, could bring to your parent’s face.
This Diwali, vivo celebrates ten years of taking the pictures that bring millions to where they belong during the festive season – to the ones they love.”
