Even a website has been created for this purpose http://kahanruknahaipatahai.com which u will find quite engaging even the facebook page of the same name depicts the same engaging.

with Social issues like Ragging, Dowry, Corruption, Drunk driving, child Abuse, Eve-teasing which are affecting the existence of society, This ad is bang on the point.
Following are the images taken from social media of the brand.


While other brands use a very sophisticated tagline depicting the usefulness to the consumer like tread any where,your journey our passion, But most of the tyre ads are based on the premise of Firm Control like Total control. For more such taglines go to

The objective of the campaign was to reach out to a large section of consumers through just a miscall.

The ad shows ‘Biswas’ seated in a packed cafe. He look at people around him, before stripping down to his vest and brief and standing on the. He thanks everyone for their attention and say he has an apartment at Amboli and goes on to list its features like western toilet, multiple use. He asks if anyone would be interested in renting it. He finds no takers, but a man replies, handsome ‘Quikr.com ko missed call maar na’.

The voice over says, “Ghar ho ya gaadi, buying selling aur renting ke liye, quikr ko missed call dijiye 1800 3000 1000 par. Aur paaiye buyers aur sellers quikrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

One-word Tagline

Can One word be a tagline of a brand ???
Some says--- One word can obviously be a tagline ! (Because it is easy to remember)

While other says---One word is far too open to interpretation.


Perhaps if a brand has the budget to inundate us with enough messages that it successfully interprets for us what the company means to express with that one word, maybe then one word can become a tagline over a period of  time. But the important formula is it should reflect the company's personality in it.

Some of the brands which have a single word or one word tagline are as follows. And mind it they are really successful in their industry and leader also.

Visa- Go

Mahindra- Rise

HP- Invent

Bindass- Restless

(Bindass is a Tv channel of India with youth centric content)

Star Sports-Believe

After Bindass channel star sports also has came with the new tagline "Believe"

Lakme- Reinvent

3M- Innovation

Nissan- Shift_  
Now Nissan has a new tagline- Innovation That Excites.

We would suggest if you have the power to spend a whole lot of amount with a tagline that showcase your brand then go for it.
