ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund launches new brand campaign 'TARAKKI KAREIN*'
Announcement / Markets Nov 04, 2009, 20:33 IST

Expertise that helps you emerge the master of your own progress.

ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund has unveiled its new brand campaign ‘TARAKKI KAREIN*’ which employs the language of the common man to create a brand connect with its valued investors. The campaign aims to present mutual funds as an intrinsic and essential part of financial inclusion that facilitates wealth creation and progress. The campaign includes a television commercial that is spread across a wide genre of media.

The mutual fund industry in India is at a very nascent stage as compared to its global peers. The industry has also witnessed significant change in environment over the last few months.  There is a need to increase brand connect with investors and bridge the awareness gap to facilitate financial inclusion and meet the ultimate objective of helping investors achieve their lifecycle objectives. 

In the forefront of this change is ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, taking the leadership mantle on brand projection. With the slogan “Aap Ki Tarakki, aap hi ke haath mein hai. Sahi investment karein. Tarakki Karein*!” the campaign reverberates the underlying need of every individual. It bridges the need gap between the dominant desire to progress and how the expertise of the Asset Management Company can serve the same.

Mr. Nipun Kaushal, Head – Marketing, ICICI Prudential AMC commenting on the campaign objective stated, “Today, as we see our country poised for taking a quantum leap towards progress, we realize that the Mutual Fund category can serve as a catalyst to trigger an individual's progress. However in doing so, we sense a need to make the category more relevant to our end investors. With the launch of our brand campaign - we reinforce the power that every investor holds in his hands - the choice to make the right decision for his own progress.”
