Tetley challenges skin-deep notions of fitness in new ad for green tea

Tetley Green Tea Immune has released a compelling sequel to their last year’s campaign #everyBODYcan. This campaign continues the conversation of looking beyond ‘surface-level’ fitness initiated earlier and takes on the endearing yet unwarranted nicknames given to people of various body types, based on how they look.  The new campaign ‘I am more than my nickname’ reinforces the thought that ‘you are more than your body type’.

It urges people to not be constrained by their nickname, which has been given to them based on their physical appearance, as a name doesn’t define your abilities and how fit you are. Through this film Tetley continues to take another step to help women realize their inner potential keeping the internal as well as external fitness in mind.

Talking about the film, Puneet Das, President - Packaged Beverages (India and South Asia), Tata Consumer Products said, “Tetley green tea is one of the leading players in the green tea segment in India and advocates feeling fit vs. just ‘looking fit’’. In that effort, we constantly innovate to bring differentiated offerings such as Tetley Green Tea Immune with added Vitamin C range. In the second edition of our #everyBODYcan campaign, we highlight the stereotypes that may seep in through ‘adorable sounding’ nicknames that are based on certain body types and are inadvertently given to the kids which would then become labels that they may live up to, affecting their confidence. This campaign yet again urges people to look beyond the body types/ surface level fitness and believe in themselves by focusing on feeling fit from inside out.”

Arpan Bhattacharyya, Head of Creative – Lowe Lintas (South) said, “With the success and appreciation that #everyBODYcan received last year, we felt that it deserved a reprise. To take forward the idea that feeling fit isn’t only about looking fit, we found an interesting insight in the endearing nicknames that people often bestow upon kids. Golu, Teeli, Laddoo - each is a harmless nickname, inspired by a certain body type. Kids are identified by these nicknames. But these nicknames can become identities in themselves as well. A “Golu” loves to eat. But can’t run fast. A “Teeli” is petite. But can’t lift weights. And so on. Regardless of how true these typecasts are or how fit the owner of the nickname is or isn’t.  We wanted to urge women to be more than their nicknames. Because being fit isn’t only about looking fit. We hope this sequel serves as an empowering reminder to all the women that they are more than their body type and whatever be their nickname, they should believe that #everyBODYcan”.
