ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS
The butter, which had been launched in 1946, had a staid, boring image, primarily because the earlier advertising agency which was in charge of the account preferred to stick to routine, corporate ads. It all began in 1966 when Sylvester daCunha, then the managing director of the advertising agency, ASP, clinched the account for Amul butter.
1966, Amul hired Sylvester daCunha, then managing director of the advertising agency AS to design a new ad campaign for Amul Butter. daCunha designed an add campaign as series of hoardings with topical ads, relating to day-to-day issues.
For 30 odd years the Utterly Butterly girl has managed to keep her fan following intact. The campaign was widely popular and earned a Guinness world record for the longest running ad campaign in the world. Since the 1980s, cartoon artist Bharat Dabholkar has been involved with sketching the Amul ads, who rejected the trend of using celebrities in advertisement campaigns.
Despite encountering political pressure on several occasions, daCunha's agency has made it a policy of not backing down. When the Amul girl was shown wearing the Gandhi cap. The concerned authorities came down heavily, feeling that the Gandhi cap was a symbol of Independence; they couldnt have anyone not taking that seriously
Indian Airines ad- The Indian Airlines one really angered the authorities. They threatened to stop supplying Amul butter on the plane, if the ads were not taken down. Then there was an ad during the Ganpati Festival, which said, Ganpati Bappa More Ghya (Ganpati Bappa take more). That hurt the religious sentiments of the Shiv Sena people.
