The CEO, however, did not say how much FirstCry has earmarked as annual advertising budget, but industry executives ET spoke to pegged it at close to Rs 100 crore.
"An internal research showed that FirstCry was low on awareness despite the fact that repeat purchase on the website is 50% higher than our closest competitor," said
"We needed to create maximum impact with the campaign. Amitabh Bachchan brings huge credibility to the brand. He has pan-India appeal and is a doting grandfather,” he said.
Jain said the company has made six TV commercials around the theme "Bachchon ki shopping, Bachchon ka khel nahi" (kids shopping is not child's play), which will run for the next three months.
The campaign will also have radio, out-of-home and tactical print legs. The new ad campaign will be handled by Lowe Lintas's Johnson & Johnson team, Maheshwari said.
