CREATIVE BRIEF
Background:
Hashmi Pakistan is leading company in region with health and personal care products. The
products have medicinal and therapeutic properties. The company had started its journey some
200 years ago in 1794 with Mohammad Hashim Tajir Surma being established by Hakeem
Mohammad Hashim at Bareilly, India. The idea at that time was to make products that mitigate
the sufferings of ailing humanity. Currently, the Hashmi group is headed by Mohammad Rashid
Hashmi, the company is engaged in producing superior quality herbal and personal care products
made from natural ingredients. The products have been know all over sub-continent for their
curative effects. Hashmi products are available across Pakistan in almost all outlets in urban and
rural areas catering people from all socio economic backgrounds. It has not only been exporting
in sub-continent but also exports to Middle East, Africa, and European markets. Hashmi also has
participated in most of the international exhibitions and trade shows to grow its market
internationally.
Campaign Objective:
The aim of the campaign is to change existing consumer perceptions about Hashmi kajal that
they are of an inferior quality, become a quality leader and to develop a recall amongst
customers thereby increasing sales by 10%.
Target Market:
Females aged 1-60 belonging to middle class whose monthly earning is 100k to 150k, whereas
the lower class whose earning is less than 100k
Current Consumer Belief:
Customers think that product is only for people belonging to low socio economic status because
of it being poorly packaged. The package has colors like yellow, blue and red and a very thick
applicator which makes it difficult for customers to use and also looks very gaudy. Due to which
the customers feel the product is not up to the mark and feel it cannot match up to the standards
of their branded kajal/kohl like those of Maybelline, L’Oréal, and lakme. They associate poor
packaging and lower price with the brand being of inferior quality and not providing the same
effect as the other kohls do.
Desired Consumer Belief:
The change in packaging should make the customers want to purchase more of Hashmi Kajal,
with the new and stylish packaging and also celebrity endorsements we aim to move the product
from its perceived low class category to serving middle class too. The customers should be
willing to purchase it, whenever they have to purchase kajal Hashmi should be the name that
tops their list. They should feel confident about using the product and believe that although
positioned at a lower price point than other branded kajal it provides greater quality. Only
because it is cheap does not mean it is not original or does not provide greater quality

USP:
Long lasting, water proof kohl having high consistency and deep pigments that make it smudge
proof.
Tonality:
Reliable and trustworthy.
Media:
Using electronic media i.e. television commercials and radio ads along with print media i.e.
advertisements in newspapers and magazine and Out of Home advertising to target customers.
Mandatories:
Tag line, logo, and packaging and price.
Budget:
60 Million Rupees
Duration:
1st June’20-30 June’20
Big Idea:
Hashmi Kajal will keep its legacy in mind how the product has been passed down from
generation from mother to daughter. Daughters observe their mother applying the product
regularly thus adopting their habit of regular usage of the product.
The tag line is ‘Hashmi kajal- aap ko banaye sab se khaas’. It signifies how Hashmi Kajal has
helped generations of women feel special about themselves. At the same time Hashmi Kajal will
portray itself as a quality product with a change in its packaging and the addition of a new
product Majestic Black. The campaign’s focus is to appeal to the traditionalists in people by
using a sense of nostalgia and sentimentality to prove how Hashmi Kajal has over the years
proved to be a brand that has never compromised on quality or functionality.
Market Segmentation:
Demographics: females aged 1-60 years
Geographic: all over Pakistan
Psychographic: females belonging to low and middle income groups having family income of
100k-150k and below 100k, respectively.

Push/Pull strategy:
We are using a push strategy since we want to create recall and increase our sales. We need to
create demand for our product especially in the middle class section which is becoming more
brand conscious and views Hashmi as an inferior quality product that does not matches with their
persona. Since the demand and usage rate of customers have been low for a few years and also
because of low affinity of people especially that of younger generation with the brand we are
using a push strategy to make the customers want to purchase it.
Market Analysis:
The one essential makeup item that most women cannot go without is definitely kajal as just one
stroke of kajal makes one appear more energetic, lively and also enhances your eyes. Kajal is a
makeup accessory used to beautify the eyes, however in some cases, it is also used as a dot around
the children's neck in order to protect them from the evil eye. The target market for this product is
female based as the product is mainly used by them. It is not confined to a certain age limit, from
teenagers to aged women each and every one is using Kajal to beautify their eyes. It is applied
mainly on the upper and lower lash lines.
Very often people tend to get confused between Kohl and Kajal, Kohl is basically an English name
for Kajal but it is a bit different too. The difference is that Kajal is made naturally while Kohl
is made of waxes and pigments. Coming to the application part, kajal is a bit messy when applied
whereas kohl glides smoothly on your lash line. Both of them have same functions. They are
applied on upper and lower lash lines.
L’oreal Paris Kajal Magique is the market leader in the category of kajal. Other main competitors
are:
Lakme Eyeconic Kajal.
MAC Modern Twist Kajal Liner.
Faces Ultimate Pro Intense Gel Kajal.
Sugar Twist and Shout Fadeproof Kajal.
Inglot Kohl Pencil.
The product comes sealed in a pink and black package, which is plastic on the front and paper at
the back, which makes it quite easy to open. The pink and black theme is followed by the actual
product as well. Once you open the cap on top, you will find that it is retractable. All you have to
do is twist the product from the bottom. It’s extremely smooth, so it goes on very well. It’s not a
matte product but the texture allows the deep black to stand out against your skin.
It has intense matte texture for Eyeconic eyes. You can put a thin stroke or a bold wing,
this kajal is great for day and night looks. Its long-lasting- up to 22 hours without smudging and is
completely water proof.
Product Analysis:
Hashmi is the leading brand in sub-continent, with the most number of sales. People since a few
years because of the ugly packaging and the dull colors being used and lower price and also the
emergence of branded products started believing it is not as good as branded products and is a
misfit for them. It lost its charm in the previous years but now it has got a new packaging, better
than the previous one and it is once again gaining its market share. With a new silver packaging
and a new identity with the name of Majestic Black.

Hashmi Introduces its Latest Innovation; ‘Majestic Black Kajal’, an advanced herbal formula in
a trendy packaging for the perfect smooth satin black finish for the woman of today.
Communication Objective:
Our main objective is to remind the consumers of our product and make them aware of the
changes we have made in it and its packaging so that its appeal to the customers increases. We
want to change the mindset of people that we are only targeting lower class and also to change
their perception that it is one inferior quality product. Our purpose is to let the people know that
although we are charging a lower price for our product but that does not mean that we are in any
way compromising on its quality many users due to its packaging had switched from Hashmi
Kajal to other well know and renowned brands like L’oreal. Now that we are back with new eye
catching design we want to get those customers back and therefore increase the sales of our
product which would only happen once they are aware of the changes we have made. Also our
objective is to build recall with the customers let them know more about the product and changes
incorporated in it and through our ads build an emotional connect with them telling them how the
brand’s legacy has been and how since 200 years it has been the most trusted upon brand by the
women of sub-continent therefore achieving our ultimate objective of sales.
Marketing Strategy:
Majority of our target audience is already aware of our product as Hashmi has been operating
for quite a few decades now, it’s just that we need to give them a recall for our product. Best
channel to communicate would be TV, women tend to spend most of their time there so a TVC
between their dramas would be the best way to convey the message across. Since our audience
comprises mostly of females many of whom watch dramas, news, morning shows, and cooking
shows we plan to target them through tv which is why we have also set a higher budget for TVC
and have made sure to target customers in times when they watch it the most i.e. at night around
8pm-9pm, in the morning around 9am-11am and in afternoon around 3pm-6pm.
We also make sure to target them using radio and OOH when they are travelling, commuting or
going out, the ads for radio are short to the point focusing on functionality that clearly says what
the brand gives because if they are too lengthy customers will change the radio station.
We are also using print ads to communicate with the audiences especially the Urdu newspaper
for better understanding of the campaign by the customers.
Since we are target both lower and middle class we make sure that we mention functionalities in
our ads because that is what both these classes think about mainly i.e. what will they be getting
in return for having to spend money.
Main purpose would be to convey the message across that Hashmi is back in the market, and
better than before, being an old brand this would automatically create an urge in our target
market to try it out once and see what it is offering now.
