Overview
Yale’s Zuri smart lock set out to make Digital smart locks accessible. Modern features, dependable sturdiness and an affordable price point created a strong foundationfor communication. Our task was to turn this proposition into a story that felt relatable, aspirational, and engaging. We started the project with one clear goal:to shift perceptions from “premium and out of reach” to “aspirational yet attainable,” while showing that it fits comfortably within a frugal Indian household budget.

Finding the hook
During ideation, one thought stood out: Z for Zuri. Z for Z+ Security.
The idea clicked right away as it showcased a blend of strong protection while also hinting at a small upgrade in status. Subtle. Clear. Easy to own.
Thinking beyond
the ordinary
In a market where every lock commercial features a failed robber, we wanted to show our Common Man, lucky simple Sharma Ji, gaining a slice of celebrity status because of his new lock. The idea of “Z+ Security” conveyed both dependable safety and an elevated sense of status, exactly how we wanted people to see Zuri locks.
Bringing it alive
Every character, every scene was drawn from things we had experienced, lived and observed. The concept won everyone’s heart, turning into a true success story. With a brilliant cast and a tireless production team, the pieces fell into place to create something we proudly celebrate today.
Results that matter
Now, with over 15 million impressions across versions, #ApkeGharKiZ+Security is bridging the gap between Zuri and the audience. By connecting the brand with the relatable charm of Sharma Ji, we created a deeper brand connection and, hopefully, put some smiles on people’s faces. It’s one of those projects where we trusted our gut, pushed our limits, and watched the magic happen.
