Passionate in Marketing – In Conversation With Mr. Rajeswar Rao, VP-B2C, Clovia

  1. Over the years, Clovia has built a distinct and relatable brand personality online. What role has humour played in helping the brand connect with younger audiences and drive engagement?

As a category, lingerie has traditionally been viewed through a purely functional lens, and conversations around it have often remained limited or uncomfortable. Humour helps break these barriers by creating content that reflects everyday experiences and emotions women can instantly relate to.

For younger audiences, particularly Gen Z and millennials, authenticity often matters more than simply promoting a product. They engage with brands that understand their realities and speak their language. Humour enables us to do this while keeping conversations light, engaging, and relatable. More importantly, it helps humanise the brand and build deeper emotional connections that extend beyond the product itself.

  1. Meme marketing has become a powerful tool for brands, but it can also be difficult to execute authentically. What principles does Clovia follow to ensure its content feels genuine?

For us, authenticity begins with a deep understanding of our consumers. Our focus is on creating content that reflects real experiences, everyday moments, and conversations that genuinely resonate with them. We carefully choose moments that align with our brand values and allow us to engage in a way that feels natural and relevant.

The key is ensuring that every piece of content feels like a true extension of the brand, not just a reaction to what’s trending. Consumer insights, social listening, and a strong understanding of audience behaviour guide our approach. When content mirrors what our consumers are thinking, feeling, or experiencing, it naturally fosters stronger engagement and meaningful connections. 

  1. In an era where consumers are constantly bombarded with content, what does it take for a brand to remain culturally relevant without losing its core identity?

Cultural relevance is not about showing up for every trend; it’s about understanding your audience deeply and engaging in conversations that genuinely align with your brand’s purpose. In a fast-moving digital landscape, the real challenge is knowing when to participate and when to stay focused on what you stand for.

At Clovia, we always start with the consumer. While trends and platforms continue to evolve, our commitment to helping women feel comfortable, confident, and empowered remains constant. That serves as our filter for every campaign, content idea, and cultural moment we choose to engage with.

The brands that remain relevant over time are often those that strike the right balance between consistency and adaptability. Consumers want brands to stay current, but they also value authenticity. A strong brand identity provides the foundation, while evolving communication styles, formats, and storytelling approaches help keep that identity relevant to changing consumer expectations.

  1. Real-time and topical marketing have become essential for consumer brands today. How does Clovia approach moment marketing while ensuring alignment with the brand’s voice and values? 

While speed is important, relevance is even more critical. At Clovia, we don’t approach every trending topic as an opportunity. Instead, we focus on moments where we can add a meaningful perspective while staying true to our brand personality.

Our teams closely monitor consumer conversations, emerging trends, and cultural moments, but every idea goes through the lens of brand fit. We ask ourselves whether the content aligns with our tone of voice, whether it resonates with our audience, and whether it contributes positively to the conversation.

This balance allows us to remain agile without diluting our brand identity. The goal is not simply to be part of the conversation, but to participate in a way that feels relevant and memorable for our consumers.

  1. Looking ahead, what emerging consumer trends, technologies, or marketing innovations do you believe will have the biggest impact on brand building and engagement over the next five years? 

The future of brand building will be shaped by deeper personalization, stronger communities, and more immersive consumer experiences. Consumers increasingly expect brands to understand their preferences, anticipate their needs, and deliver relevant experiences across every touchpoint.

Technology, particularly AI and data-driven insights, will play a significant role in enabling this level of personalization. At the same time, we believe the importance of authenticity and community will continue to grow. Consumers are looking for brands that go beyond transactions and create meaningful connections.

We also see content, commerce, and community becoming even more interconnected. The brands that succeed will be those that can seamlessly combine these elements while staying consumer-centric. Ultimately, while technology will continue to evolve, the ability to build trust, relevance, and genuine engagement will remain at the heart of strong brand building.
