Getting a new cylinder into the conversation.

Bharat Petroleum launched Bharatgas Lite Zip, a next-generation composite LPG cylinder, into a market that did not yet know it existed. Working with the Hubballi distributorship, MGS ran a local-language awareness campaign that went from idea to live in four days, and in under 48 hours drew around 70,000 views with 700+ likes and shares.

The challenge

A category starting from zero.

Bharatgas Lite Zip is a genuinely new kind of cylinder: a composite, fibre-body build that weighs around 50% less than steel, with enhanced safety and quicker delivery. The problem with anything new is simple. Nobody is looking for it, because nobody knows it exists.

The local distributorship needed awareness, and needed it fast, among everyday LPG buyers in Hubballi. Not a national ad budget. A sharp, local move that would put the product in front of the right people, in their own language.

The approach

Right audience, right language, four days.

MGS met the Bharat Petroleum sales lead in Hubballi, aligned on an awareness-first idea, and picked the channel to match the audience, not the other way round. The buyers we needed were aged roughly 20 to 55, so we chose a local page whose following sat squarely in that group. The video was made in Kannada, on purpose, to earn real engagement and travel through local networks rather than past them. From aligning on the idea to the post going live, the whole thing ran in four days.

Why local, why Kannada

Local face, local language, local trust.

We partnered with Hubballi Times (@hubballitimes), a verified local media page with about 108,000 followers concentrated in our target age group. The creative led with the product’s real hooks: lighter, safer, smarter, and around 50% lighter than steel.
