  • Cadbury Fuse launches its latest campaign

    Cadbury Fuse, the Mondelez India brand, launched its latest campaign ‘Bhookhe Pet Na Ho Payega’ with a film ‘Fuse Doli’.

    Said Nitin Saini, Vice President Marketing, Mondelez India: “Nourishing a tradition of combining goodness with an irresistible taste, Cadbury Fuse has been a steadfast companion for satisfying those little hunger pangs on-the-go. Our latest TVC campaign portrays how choosing Cadbury Fuse ensures you’re always fully present and takes a humorous spin on India’s cultural belief: ‘Pehle pet pooja, baaki kaam duja.”

    Added Kainaz Karmakar and Harshad Rajadhyaksha, Chief Creative Officers, Ogilvy India: “Fuse has always been about exploring different insights around hunger. This film taps into a very cool insight – Bhooke Pet Na Ho Paayega. The story endearingly exaggerates this by showing a young guy dragging a Doli procession into a supermarket to satisfy his hunger. The humour in the story is brought to life beautifully by the director, Abhinav Pratiman, Early Man Films. If exaggerations have their roots in an undeniable truth, they end up making the point very well. According to us, this film does that. The little touches in the detailing of the screenplay will make it watchable again and again. The ECD, Ram Hariharan and his team have conceived this campaign and we hope people enjoy it as much as we do.”
