Maithan Steel, one of the leading steel plants of the country, has announced the on-boarding of Indian wrestler The Great Khali as its brand ambassador.

The steel major has unveiled its revamped identity of ‘Nirmaan ka Maandand’ with the launch of new advertising campaign starring The Great Khali, the company said in a statement.

On its completion of almost two decades in venturing into iron and steel industry, Maithan Steel has taken an initiative to educate the consumers about today’s market with the new TVC, it said.

During the post-Covid era, considering the significant transition in the market especially in terms of consumers’ increasing propensity to buy more ‘value-centric & samajdar’ products, the company is focusing full-fledged on highlighting its strong, flexible and smart product profile.

“While iron and steel commodities are the backbone of strength of people’s home, most Indian consumers are not much aware when it comes to the choice of right TMT,” said the steel giant.

Maithan Steel is aiming to drive mass consumer awareness through the TVC, Press and Digital in association with Khali.

The Great Khali, who is one of the greatest wrestlers in the world and an eminent power icon of the country will educate and inspire consumers on purchasing strong steel like that of Maithan Steel.

The TVC talks about the quality and state-of-the-art technology that makes Maithan Steel as one of the strongest steel available in the market, resonating the same with Khali’s strength.

Maithan Steel has collaborated with Khali to reestablish the core value of the brand’s strength to enable the consumers to make a ‘Strong, Flexible and Samajhdaar’ choice.

Using high strength Maithan TMT600 bars requires 20% less consumption of steel without compromising on its strength as Maithan Steel is of FE 600 grade – thus it leads to 20% more savings, less manpower needed making it the Samajhdar choice for consumers and its trade partners.

Conceptualized by 82.5 Communications, the TVC will go live in Hindi, Bengali and Assamese, majorly targeting markets of Eastern and North Eastern India.

The campaign will be promoted through print media, outdoor advertisements and television channels along with the digital platforms of Maithan Steel.

Commenting on the initiative,  Madhur Agarwalla, Director, Maithan Steel said, “It is critical to sustain a strong identity in consumer’s mind and Maithan’s association with world’s one of the greatest strength icons will indeed enhance the brand impact on consumers.

“We have a series of 7 TVCs for this campaign, has been skillfully created serving both purpose of giving consumers a light note of fun and educating them along with about the brand and its key message. Through innovative marketing strategies, we aim to be most consumer-preferred brand when it comes to the iron and steel industry.”
