00 Overview

Plastics have an image problem. The campaign set out to show the industry as what it sees itself to be: a quiet superpower.

Challenge

Sign-ups a year away

Drive exhibitor and visitor sign-ups for a trade show a year away, starting with a promotional event in Ahmedabad, and make a technical industry feel bold.

Approach

Cast the industry as a hero

A businessman in a green cape fronts every piece under one line: "Discover the super power of plastics." Delhi landmarks point to the main event.

Outcome

One key visual, every size

One key visual that scales from a press backdrop to a highway billboard, with Plastindia green tying every touchpoint together.

01 Process

From a line to a highway.

One idea, one hero, one colour, then every size the campaign needed.

Chapter one

A cape, not a lab coat.

Instead of pellets and machines, the campaign shows a person: an everyday professional with a green cape, standing tall. He stands in for the whole industry, and the cape carries the brand colour into every frame.

The hero · everyday professional, green cape
Key visual One line, one hero

Everyday professional. Green cape. Standing tall.

No pellets, no machines. The cape does what a logo cannot: it makes the colour part of the person, so every photo of the campaign is green before any logo appears.

From press backdrop to highway billboard.

The same artwork, the same hero, the same line. Drag to scale it against a person.

The rule: white on Plastindia Green is 2.8:1, so green carries the cape, the band and large headlines only. Small type on light uses Deep Green (4.5:1) or ink.

Motion Key message

The line lands.

A seven-second message animation for screens at the event and on social. Green floods in, the line builds, the logo lands.

Chapter two

Ahmedabad, one day, one colour.

From the welcome standee to the registration desk and the press conference wall, the hero and the green band repeat until the room feels like a Plastindia stage.

What we learned
Give the industry a faceA person in a cape did more for plastics than any product shot could.
Design the biggest size firstIf it works on a highway, it works on a standee. The reverse is not true.
Rotate the message, not the lookThree messages on one template kept the campaign fresh without breaking it.
