Livestock is a critical component in the life and livelihood of villagers across the country. Access to the internet and media has infused renewed interest in livestock based business and earning opportunity for the villagers.
The cow is treated as a member of the family and it’s well being is supremely important for a village family unit to survive.
This concern for the health of the Cow is the business opportunity that INTAS wanted to capitalize on through their nutritional feed supplement – CalShakti.
CalShakti is a nutritional liquid feed supplement packed with calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and chelated minerals for promoting the health and growth of the cow. This in turn increases milk production and thus earnings.
CalShakti is manufactured by INTAS PHARMACEUTICALS, a leading name in the veterinary pharmaceutical industry.
It was a social media campaign titled “Selfie with Cow Thought” aimed at promoting Calshakti, a brand or initiative related to cows and cattle. The campaign encouraged farmers to upload selfies with their cows, mentioning their unique names on Facebook and tag the Calshakti page.
Based on the highest engagement rate of the posts, 175 Winners were to be selected PAN India and their names announced on the CalShakti facebook page.
