Linc celebrates the true spirit of exams – we believe that the purpose of which is not just to be the yearly check on our academic progress, but it also prepares us for who we want to be in life and what should we stand for. Every exam helps us believe in ourselves a little more than the previous one. Linc, participates with you in all exams.

In a world where everyone is focused on personal-goals and achievements, this campaign takes the higher ground and encourages ‘great partnership’, after all that is what will make us citizens of the well-connected and collaborative world that we live in today.

Increasingly today, students are more active and aware around social causes and they admire brands that stand for a cause towards the society and the world. The youngsters today seek opportunities to get out of their comfort zones and contribute more towards the causes they believe in. Linc salutes that spirit in these students and encourages them to excel not just in their exams – but also to excel in these causes towards making the world and society.
Objective of the campaign:
To create recall for brand Linc amongst students this Exam Season
Approach:
While most pen brands during the Exam season talk about new or cool features or simply how their product is superior than others in terms of writing. The stationery category doesn’t witness too much of brand loyalty and is mostly run by students asking for a certain type of pen or they ask for pens at a certain price point. Linc wanted to build preference for itself by finding an emotional place in the hearts and minds of these students (as well as their parents), so that they ask for Linc Pens instead of just any ‘gel’ or ‘a ball point’ or any INR 5/- or INR 10/- pen.
