the acclaimed Watertower Band from Switzerland who are being flown in
specially for the occasion by Sri Lankas national airline - SriLankan
Airlines. Dates to be noted are the 23rd to 29th June, and reservations

Unilevers Lifebuoy and BASS MP3s campaign a success
Over the past decade Lifebuoy, Unilevers hygienic health brand, has
proven to been right on the pulse of the youth of Sri Lanka, engineering
innovative campaigns and CSR activities, identifying and evolving with
the fast changing requirements of modern day living.
Unlike general promotional activities in the market, our message is
actually straight from our social conscience, an honest attempt to
promote a better, cleaner lifestyle for Sri Lankas youth by instilling
healthy living habits and whilst having fun at the same time, Senior
Brand Manager for Lifebuoy Asif Jiffry said.
We want our consumers to trust us to represent their best interests
all of the time, thus our promotions have always been complimentary to
their individual passions, embracing their own lifestyle choices with
our product promotions and branding initiatives, Jiffry further stated.
This philosophy is clearly reflected in Lifebuoys latest in a long
line of marketing campaigns, distributing 500 Bathiya and Santhush (BNS)
branded BASS mp3 players islandwide to some of their most loyal
consumers.
Around the world MP3 players are fast becoming more than a bourgeois
luxury, but rather a highly fashionable accessory. We chose BASS MP3 as
it represented the best of world class technology, shelled together with
a stunning metallic finish, whilst being backed by two of the biggest
legends the Sri Lankan recording industry has ever produced, a
spokesman from Unilivers said.
Just as emphasised by the Lifebuoy brand; BASS MP3 represents the
finest qualities of the youth of Sri Lanka, being dynamic, refreshing,
quality focused and responsible.
The complimentary association of Lifebuoy to Bass MP3 and the
youthful energies of BNS, would no doubt commit the brand to the top of
any young consumers mind, making cleanliness cool! Even our commercials
revolve around this concept, for instance equating a teenager washing
his hands to a DJ on the turntables, he said.
He also mentioned that for the duration of the campaign, BASS mp3
players were available to the public only via the Lifebuoy competition
and that this was just the first of many promotions planned by the brand
to reward their loyal consumer base over the coming months.
