    By A Correspondent

     

    Grey has created a new campaign for Britannia Treat Crème Wafers. The campaign has been conceptualised by Grey Bangalore.

     

    Speaking on the launch, Jayant Kapre, Business Head, Adjacencies and New Business said: “Britannia is diversifying into more categories in macro- snacking, and with the introduction of ‘Crème Wafer’, we offer a quick on- the- go snack. We aim to expand the market and take a leading position over time.”

     

    Speaking about the films, Gautam Bhasin, Group Creative Director, Grey Bangalore added “The idea for the films came from the insight that children are great at spinning yarns. Their imagination is akin to the product attribute of wafers, one layer on another. So, in the films we let the kids create layers of fun, drawing a parallel to the structure of the wafer.”
