Empower Works wished to leverage their domain expertise in strategic HR, considerable experience with IT-projects in this domain and the reliability and stature of their business approach.
After many months of developmental work and research, JWT launched adrenalin™ in India, in Sept 2003, with an integrated campaign aimed at CEOs and business leaders. The campaign idea was woven around the concept of ‘Language of Leaders’ using Kinesics, the science of Body Language as a provocative lead-in. The campaign highlighted the fact that leaders motivate people through body language, so does adrenalin™ as a software tool, enable transformation of the workplace in terms of greater employee productivity and measurable top and bottom line.

A HR Head of a leading company in Chennai, said, “Adrenalin™ transforms the value of HR within the organization, to provide distinct competitive advantage, while creating a technology-enabled environment that promotes performance, innovation and greater employee alignment and motivation.”
After the launch, JWT worked on specific multi-channel communication programs targeted at the influencers and decision-makers in the corporate enterprise. Using strategic insights into the way leaders think, and recognizing those business concerns that can be addressed by Adrenalin, JWT executed an intense marketing communication program combining direct marketing, events and road shows, alliances and advertising to support the sales response.
V Balaraman, CEO, Empower Works, said, “Adrenalin™ is a strategic Human Resource Management Software that provides a proven technology foundation for the complex, strategic and operational requirements of business leaders, to deliver competitive advantage.”

Recently JWT decided to deploy Adrenalin for its employees across the country. In this context, Balaraman says, “This kind of commitment to the mission and business of its clients makes JWT an agency of stature, and communications expertise. Their commitment to understand our business by using our products for their own advantage put them in a preferred position to serve us better in the future.”
