In order to express gratitude towards its customers for their unconditional love and support for 13 years, Reliance Jewels recently launched a new campaign titled, ‘We Owe You’.
Conceptualized by Scarecrow M&C Saatchi, the campaign tugs at your heartstrings with a very personal touch. The film only has visuals of Reliance Jewel’s extraordinary new collection, but it is the narrative that does the trick. It talks about us: We, who rush through our busy daily lives, but never forget a milestone. The film focuses on the brand’s growing relationship with its customers, which has taken them to great heights. “We owe you,” is their message to us.

HUID: India's quest for GOLD PURITY EXCELLENCE
The Indian gold jewellery sector’s journey towards hallmarking has been long, slow and bumpy. Although voluntary hallmarking became available in April 2000, compromised gold was still widely sold in the market — a fact of which neither public nor government was ignorant.
