Amul Image Makeover to attract the Youth
Amuls tongue-in-cheek advertisements have always been popular. Through a multi-media campaign Amul intends to change its image and target the youth. The dull and conservative image associated with Amul products has to be rubbed off the minds of the youth.
As a strategy, Amul has decided to communicate with the new generation more aggressively than ever before. So the $2 billion brand is working on pack designs, product positioning and event promotions of Amul butter, Amul Ghee and Amul Ice-cream to target the 18-22 age groups, which forms 51% of Indian consumer. The brand has announced its sponsorship of the Sauber Formula 1 team in the forthcoming Airtel India Grand Prix, the first ever Formula 1 race in the country.
Amul is moving fast by communicating with the youth in the language they understand and doing things that appeal to them. So, be it repositioning an orthodox diary product like ghee, Amul butter and Amul icecreams, the company is doing everything for the youth eyeballs and wallets. Backing of the young generation will be key for Amul to achieve its target of becoming a $3-billion brand by the end of this fiscal and joining the ranks of Nestle, Danone, Lactalis and Fonterra as an international diary major.
Amul has now realized that being youthful necessarily does not means you are shedding away your legacy. Amul enjoy 90% market share in the Indian butter market, 80% in cheese, 40% in ice-cream and 25% share in the pouched milk market. It spends less than 1% of its turnover on marketing and has always bet on umbrella branding.
