Instead, it could be a force for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2016, the group, in collaboration with Ogilvy &amp; Mather Mumbai, launched the \u201cZidd Karo, Duniya Badlo\u201d campaign to give that conviction a voice. Rather than a traditional newspaper promotion, it was a purpose-driven movement: a belief that right determination (\u201cachchi zidd\u201d) can challenge social inertia and spark real change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zidd Karo Duniya Badlo - Dainik Bhaskar | Full Video\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dpXRMEHpkA8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">See Where the Idea Really Began, A Philosophy Carried In the Brand\u2019s DNA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea for \u201cZidd\u201d isn\u2019t new for Dainik Bhaskar; the group has long seen its own growth as a product of persistence and grit. From a single newspaper in Bhopal, it grew to a media group with a presence across many states in India. That history of steady, determined growth became the foundation for \u201cZidd Karo, Duniya Badlo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What started as an internal philosophy became a public message: stubbornness,  the right kind, isn\u2019t about being obstinate. It\u2019s about fighting for what\u2019s right. It\u2019s this idea that the campaign sought to bring to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">It Was A Simple Story Told with Heart, Creative Execution, &amp; Campaign Tone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ogilvy &amp; Mather Mumbai chose a storytelling approach rather than a flashy ad-style campaign. The core commercial, a 120-second film, begins in a rural classroom: children learning their alphabet, when a man (the father of a girl student) arrives to take her away from school. As she struggles, the other children rise up and insist she stay, symbolizing a fight between \u201cburi zidd\u201d (wrong\/harmful stubbornness) and \u201cachchi zidd\u201d (determined fight for good).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As one of the creative leads put it, they avoided typical advertisement gloss, instead letting the innocence and resolve of children carry the message, because when conviction comes from the heart, it resonates universally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The campaign wasn\u2019t limited to film. It was rolled out across multiple platforms, including television, print, social media, and corporate communications, embracing the group\u2019s identity in every medium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Recognition &amp; Impact, When Purpose Meets Excellence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What began as a simple idea turned into a widely celebrated campaign. The \u201cZidd Karo, Duniya Badlo\u201d initiative earned major national and international recognition across diverse formats, from corporate communications to film. Notable accolades include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>Gold<\/strong> at the Golden Award of Montreux (2016) for the campaign film under \u201cCorporate Film\u201d, celebrated for its social message on girl-child literacy and creative excellence. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two <strong>Gold<\/strong> awards at the Publishers&#8217; ABBY Awards 2017: for \u201cBest marketing of a printed newspaper\/edition\u201d and \u201cBest use of mobile\/digital by a newspaper.\u201d <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Two <strong>Platinum<\/strong> awards from the League of American Communications Professionals (LACP) Spotlight Awards 2016\u201317, for the \u201cZidd\u201d-themed Annual Report FY 2015-16 and the \u201c<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/villpress.com\/goto\/https:\/\/www.printweek.in\/news\/dainik-bhaskar-wins-platinum-awards-lacp-us-24367?utm_source=villpress.com\">Zidd Karo Duniya Badlo<\/a>\u201d Corporate Calendar 2017.

It was about pushing social change, encouraging education, empathy, and collective responsibility. That elevated its impact.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creative Excellence + Social Relevance<\/strong>: The blend of storytelling craft and social messaging made it stand out, earning respect from both creative communities and the public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">A Brand as a Social Voice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZidd Karo, Duniya Badlo\u201d did more than promote a brand: it redefined what a media company could be. It showed that a newspaper group could, and should, engage with society not just by reporting news, but by championing values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/villpress.com\/the-power-of-memes-in-marketing-why-brands-use-funny-content\/\">The Power of Memes in Marketing \u2013 Why Brands Use Funny Content<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By reframing \u201czidd\u201d from stubbornness to positive determination, the campaign encouraged readers and the public at large to see persistence as a force for change: in education, social justice, and community upliftment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It set a precedent: a commercial campaign that carried a social conscience; a brand message that transcended sales; a media house that dared to ask, \u201cWhat more can we do beyond printing news?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZidd Karo, Duniya Badlo\u201d stands as a powerful example of purpose-driven brand communication. It began as a simple assertion that determination, when aligned with empathy and justice, can change the world. It was told through the innocence of children, broadcast across media, and recognized globally for creative and strategic excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In doing so, Dainik Bhaskar and Ogilvy &amp; Mather didn\u2019t just launch a campaign: they sparked a movement. They reminded us that sometimes, all it takes is the right kind of stubbornness, \u201cachchi zidd\u201d, to light the spark of change.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before Dainik Bhaskar became a media group with wide reach and influence, before dozens of editions, millions of readers, or nationwide brand recognition, it began with a simple conviction: that \u201czidd\u201d (stubbornness\/determination) didn\u2019t have to be a negative trait.
