    Cadbury unveils 2nd instalment in Generosity journey

    By Our Staff

     

    Cadbury Dairy Milk released its new brand film as a part of its ongoing Generosity campaign.

     

    Commenting on the new film, Nitin Saini, VP- Marketing, Mondelez India, said, “As we unveil another heartwarming chapter in our Generosity campaign, we continue to believe in the transformative power of shared happiness. Cadbury Dairy Milk remains dedicated to breaking down societal barriers, urging everyone to actively participate in the celebrations of others. In doing so, we hope to inspire a world where kindness and generosity redefine the way we connect, one sweet moment at a time.”

     

    Added Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India: “We announced the new chapter in the brand’s Generosity story in 2022 with the Politician film. The follow-up to that needed to be sweeter and grander. We thought to ourselves – what’s better than a wedding situation to show melting of the power distance between an employer and an employee. It beautifully underlines the happy occasion and the action that the campaign intends to drive. So, the next time we are at a wedding we not just attend but whole heartedly participate in the celebrations, keeping aside all societal divides.”

    Cadbury 5 Star, the chocolate brand from Mondelez, and Ogilvy India have come together to launch a campaign titled ‘Do Nothing’.It has been directed by Prasoon Pandey of Corcoise Films.

     

    Speaking about this, Nitin Saini, VP- Marketing, Mondelez India, said, “Cadbury 5 Star has always been synonymous with indulgence and joy. With the new TVC we wanted to recapture that feeling of pure indulgence, where even the most insistent interruption can’t break the spell of enjoying a delicious 5 Star. This campaign is a playful reminder that in a world obsessed with doing more, slowing down and savoring the simple pleasures can be the ultimate act of chilling. We’re confident that this dramatic and quirky ad will connect with chocolate enthusiasts nationwide, further enhancing the distinct identity of Cadbury 5 Star as the champion of ‘Doing Nothing.”

     

    Added Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India: “5 Star is back with another crazy interpretation of ‘Do Nothing’. Over the years, the brand’s counter-culture stance has resonated strongly with the youth, with each piece adding to the campaign’s massive popularity. We hope our latest avatar continues to surprise and entertain people.”

    KFC rolls out new campaign film

    By Our Staff

     

    KFC has rolled out a new campaign film for its KFC Chizza brand. It is conceptualised by Ogilvy India.

     

    Said Aparna Bhawal, CMO, KFC India & Partner Countries: “KFC Chizza is an iconic, cult favourite that the KFC tribe of chicken lovers just can’t get enough of. They are constantly waiting for it to come back on the menu. KFC Chizza has the perfect balance of crunch and cheese and that’s what makes it so irresistible and hence tough to share with anyone, even your best friends. So, you find innovative ways to get around the “sharing, no sharing” conundrum. Like sending them a virtual Chizza! We are thrilled to bring back this cruncheesy product on the menu for a limited time. We are already seeing great response from chicken lovers across the country, whether existing Chizza fans or those trying it for the first time.””

     

    Added Ritu Sharda, CCO, North, Ogilvy India: “We bond over food all the time. It’s a cultural phenomenon that can be seen all around us, all the time. But hiding in there somewhere, is also a very natural, instinctive feeling we harbour. If the food is just too good, we just don’t want to share it. KFC Chizza is that crazy, cult product. When you have it at the table, you’re happy to let people see it, as long as you don’t have to share it. And that’s the feeling we took a bite out of to come up with our latest KFC Chizza Campaign. “Sabko dikhane ka, khud khaane ka”.

    Asian Paints’ Mera Wala Mood campaign

    By Our Staff

     

    Asian Paints has launched a campaign for Diwali. The ‘Mera Wala Mood’ campaign embodies the essence of Diwali and explores the deep connection between emotions, colours, and homes.

     

    Extending the ‘Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai’ thought, the new tech-integrated ‘Mera Wala Mood’ campaign has been conceptualized by Ogilvy.

     

    Speaking about the campaign, Amit Syngle, CEO and MD, Asian Paints Limited said: “While Diwali brings great joy and delightful surprises, it also unveils a spectrum of mixed bitter-sweet emotions, all for various reasons. These diverse emotions are experienced in every home, making it a living canvas of colours and sentiments reflecting the unique essence of the beings that reside in them. This is the very essence of our long-standing corporate message Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai, which continues to resonate in our Diwali campaign this year. Our homes truly tell stories about us, our moods, and our emotions, and #MeraWalaMood seeks to celebrate this beautiful narrative. The campaign is here to give consumers a warm and positive feeling and shares a series of heartfelt films and poems that leave the viewer with wholesome, feel-good emotions.”

     

    Sharing more details, Sukesh Nayak – CCO, Ogilvy India added: “#MeraWalaMood has a simple human insight at its core – Even though festivals are happy times, due to various reasons, we experience many other moods too. And, at the end of the day, it is our homes that take care of all our moods. This insight led to an interactive idea, to make personalised ads for every mood. This vision was brought alive with a face scanner that accurately scans a face – from the squint of the eyes to the folds on the forehead, to reveal the mood. The mood is then revealed by a film that showcases the corner of a home in the colour that represents the viewer’s mood.”

    Sprite unveils brand films

    By Our Staff

     

    Sprite, the lemon and lime-flavoured beverage from the Coca-Cola Company, has unveiled a series of brand films with the ‘Thand Rakh’ theme.

     

    Said Tish Condeno, Senior Category Director, Sparkling Flavors (India and Southwest Asia) Coca-Cola India: “The new ‘Thand Rakh’ campaign revolves around embracing the unforgettable intensity that defines sports. Sprite, truly takes ownership of these heated moments, offering a refreshing solution during ICC Men’s Cricket World cup. We are thrilled to provide a cool respite for those impulsive, high-pressure moments that define the essence of the tournament.”

     

    Added Sukesh Nayak, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India: “Sprite is established itself as the go-to brand when life throws situations at you that end up causing heat. The cricket world cup is one such situation. The campaign shows cricket through the lens of life in an interesting way that ends in a comedy of errors. It’s quick, snackable content that drives home the point of when heat strikes, Sprite comes to the rescue.”

     

    Said Ritu Sharda, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy India (North): “The cricket World Cup is the biggest clash of the best teams from around the world. Obviously there will be intense moments and things will heat up. The films show how heated moments from a match get transferred to real life. We took words from the world of cricket and gave it a spin with real life situations where the meaning of the word is completely different. Resulting in heat. Making it the perfect ground for Sprite to come in as the official cooler of heat and to tell people to enjoy the World Cup in full, minus the heat.”

     

    In addition to the commercials, we also watched multiple sponsored posts by standup comic ‘AiyyoShraddha’, and also noted usage of ‘Thand Rakh’ in some tweets/social media posts.

     

  • For ICC Cricket World Cup campaign

    Thums Up & Ogilvy collaborate with SRK

    By Our Staff

     

    Thums Up and Ogilvy have got actor Shah Rukh Khan to play a double role for its Men’s Cricket World Cup campaign, showcasing the constant tussle of opinions in our own mind about Team India lifting the cup.

     

    Said Ritu Sharda, Chief Creative Office, Ogilvy India (North): “Cricket is a wave that rides on pure emotion. When the team is playing well, we all rally behind the team, and suddenly with one bad performance, we lose all hope. It’s intense. It’s almost like there are two sides within all of us, constantly pushing against one another. The doubter and the believer. This is exactly the emotion we’ve played out in our latest campaign with SRK bringing to life this struggle of the mind and heart.”

     

    Added Tish Condeno, Senior Category Director (Sparkling Flavours), India & South-East Asia, The Coca-Cola Company: “We believe that the ICC Cricket World Cup is the biggest sporting event for the country. Partnership with the ICC provides us with a unique opportunity to unite our customers, consumers, brands, and cricket through diverse engagement formats. Our collaboration with SRK as the ‘Voice of Belief’ for Thums Up’s association with ICC World Cup campaign embodies our commitment to turning every doubt into an unwavering belief.”

     

  • To unveil the 'Largest Environmentally Interactive Billboard'

    Brooke Bond Taj Mahal & Ogilvy come together

    By Our Staff

     

    Brooke Bond Taj Mahal Tea has partnered with its creative agency Ogilvy to make the extraordinary Megh Santoor, a one-of-a-kind musical installation in Vijayawada.  Inspired by the rains and activated by them, the instrument was conferred a Guinness World Record for being the ‘Largest Environmentally Interactive Billboard’. The billboard measures 209 meter square in total surface area and achieved this record-breaking feat on September 10, 2023.

     

    Said Kainaz Karmakar & Harshad Rajadhyaksha, Chief Creative Officers, Ogilvy India: “We’re extremely proud of the Megh Santoor piece. It has taken months of planning, testing and failing, before we finally succeeded in making this happen. Taj and Indian classical music have been each other’s companions for very long now. We added rain to it for this experiment. We call it an experiment because it was filled with ‘what ifs’, with no guarantee of result until the day it rained, and the drops hit the keys and created music. Important to mention our Taj team at Unilever’s belief and support. Also, kudos to Fritz Gonzales, Jayesh Raut, Nikhil Mohan and his team at Ogilvy who saw it through from conception to execution. The world needs as much music as it can get and we’re happy to add our little bit to this.”

     

    Added Shiva Krishnamurthy, Beverages and Foods Head, Hindustan Unilever: “We are thrilled to have ‘Megh Santoor’ recognized as the world’s largest environmentally interactive billboard by The Guinness Book of World Records. Vijayawada is one of the biggest citadels for Taj Mahal Tea, and creating this extraordinary experience is our way of extending heartfelt gratitude to the city in a way that fits us best, with Hindustani classical music! This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to Hindustani classical music, the beautiful people of Vijayawada and to sheer tea enjoyment in the rains. We have created history, and we invite everyone to experience this extraordinary blend of art and technology.”
