Mysuru, November 21, 2018:Cycle Pure Agarbathies, world’s largest and only certified carbon neutral agarbathi manufacturer, proudly collaborates with Ramesh Aravind as their Brand Ambassador for another 02 years. Ramesh Aravind has been representing Cycle Pure Agarbathies’ products and ethos across Karnataka for the past 02 years. His presence has created a strong impact on the consumers and has helped in establishing an immaculate connect with the brand.

So far, the Kannada superstar has endorsed Vasu Agarbathies actively in the Karnataka region. He has strengthened the brand’s positioning of “Vasu irrlebeku”, (VASU IS A MUST) as the face of the brand in a 3600 communication campaign. The campaign involved a combination of several activities which imparted the core message of prosperity and successes with Vasu, which is designed to cater to the different moods and tastes of the users. The association of Vasu Agarbathies and Ramesh highlighted the presence of the brand in the market.

Speaking about the collaboration, Mr. Arjun Ranga, Managing Director, Cycle Pure Agarbathies, says, “We are thrilled with this renewal of our association. With this association, we hope to reinforce our presence and make Vasu a part of every household.”

“Ramesh is an iconic actor, admired and loved by everyone. The brand holds pride in this association with him, he truly is an embodiment of honesty, transparency, ethics and qualities that Vasu Agarbathi stands for,” he added.

With this renewed association, the brand will take a leap forward with 360` campaign and stress on the purity of thought along with hope and optimism that the brand has always stood for. Further, through a series of creative campaigns, the brand intends to reinforce its position in the market and also to make in-roads into the hearts and minds of new customers.

About the association, Mr Ramesh Aravind, says, “While growing up, my prayers would not have been complete without lighting agarbathies. It is a part of my tradition and rituals which I would like to pass on to my children and grandchildren as well. Vasu Agarbathies have been synonymous with the values like concern for society, quality, transparency & purity that I cherish & believe in. I am happy to continue this association and be a part of such delightful campaign.

Over the years Cycle Pure Agarbathies have redefined the way agarbathies are perceived and purchased in India through their product and marketing innovations. Their campaigns ‘Everyone has a reason to pray’ and ‘Bhagwaan Hai’ had created a paradigm shift in the way agarbathies are marketed in the country. It has won many accolades including Bronze Lion at the Cannes Advertisement Awards festival. Their initiatives like the ‘Pray for India’, a multi city below the line campaign during Cricket World Cup 2011 & 2015 had resulted in effective product placements. The supporting above the line campaign during the period like placing the slogan ‘Everyone has the reason to pray’ strategically under Sachin Tendulkar’s photo when he completed 100 centuries was highly appreciated for the thoughtfulness and placement. It received the prestigious Big Bang Awards in 2012. In fact, the campaign “Everyone has a reason to pray” successfully converted religious and ritualistic mind-set to daily life spirituality in a powerful manner.
