Berger(XP)resses itself through blogger outreach

In its first edition of Bloggers meet in association with Indiblogger, Berger Paints India introduced Express Painting service to Kolkata bloggers. Express Painting is an innovation that uses special tools to make painting homes, a cake walk. Different bloggers from genres like interior design, travel, home décor, architecture etc. came together to experience this unique service in a fun and interactive way.

The idea behind the event, was to create awareness of Berger Paint’s latest Express Painting tools and get bloggers to write about them. The Berger paint, Indiblogger collaboration saw a combination of online and offline activities.

The campaign began on the 6th of September and continued till the 21st of September.

After an introduction to Berger’s concept of Express Painting, bloggers formed themselves in two teams to experience one of Berger Paint’s Express Tool - Sanding machine.
