  • Cadbury Perk brings back Alia Bhatt

    By Our Staff

    Cadbury Perk has roped in Alia Bhatt yet again for a new campaign. The film encourages consumers to face life’s twist and turns with tagline ‘Take It Light’.

    Said Anil Viswanathan, Senior Director, Marketing (Chocolates), Insights and Analytics, Mondelez India: “Cadbury Perk has been rooted in the youth culture, since its inception almost 25 years ago, owing to its fun persona and relevant messaging – we propagated the message of ‘Masti’ from 2015 which resonated well and helped establish Perk as a fun brand. This time, we wanted to be rooted in the product and reinforce the delightfully light eat-experience of Perk. Today’s youth believe in facing life’s stresses with lightness. Our launch film and tagline ‘Perk khao, Light ho jao’ attempts to land the message that Perk is THE light chocolate, in a fun manner, through the route of levitation. In the past, we have had lively and high-spirited personalities to cater to the youth cosmos like Preity Zinta, Genelia D’souza and Ananya Panday who embody what Cadbury Perk stands for – youth, fun and Joie De Vivre. With Alia Bhatt back on-board as the face of the brand, we are positive that she will bring the ‘Take It Light’ proposition to life effortlessly with her bubbly persona and strong youth connect.”

    Added Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India: “This is a super fun idea on lightness, executing this was truly a ball. Working with Alia, Pavail and Bob was just lots of masti. I believe, the social surround around the idea and the film will beautifully bring the core idea to life – Perk khao, light ho jao.”

  • Embassy Group celebrates Women’s Day with new video

    By Our Staff

    Real estate firm Embassy Group has launched a new campaign “Choose To Challenge” for Women’s Day. The video celebrates the women of Embassy.

    Said Vineet Singh, Group CMO, Embassy Group: “The last 20 years have witnessed a massive change in the social fabric of our society where increasingly women are making a mark for themselves in every sphere of life which also includes the corporate world. The real-estate sector is no exception which is gradually seeing more women take important roles be it in the leadership team and frontline roles. At Embassy Group, keeping in line with our future first vision, we have constantly strived towards creating an inclusive workplace with equal opportunity for all, where women employees have always played a pivotal role in every level of the organisation. Keeping this in mind, our women’s day digital video is our small effort to celebrate these achievements by showing how women are constantly opening the doors to a future first world where conversations happen on an ‘individual’ level without gender playing a role in it.”

    Added Sonia Khurana, COO, Digitas, India: “When the idea of creating a video to celebrate women on IWD came up, our collective reaction was that it would be a cliche. But it soon sunk in that dismissing it is the real cliche. The reality demands constant reminders to claim what is rightfully ours and the inclusive Embassy culture made it organic and easy for us to craft this video. Why shy away from telling the truth, especially when it can have a positive domino effect in the industry and the world at large.”
