Sonali is a perfect fit for the brand as she epitomizes our brand ethos andwe believe that the consumers will relate with her as she is a new age mother and also a career oriented woman. She understands the lack of quick appetizing food choices in daily life and knows that these are common across households in India. With our foray into advertising, we aim to enlarge the consumer base to include those who enjoy western taste in their foodbut struggle making it at home as they do not have the rightingredients i.e. western sauces and spreads.

The challenge was to make mayonnaise, not only an integral part of our daily food habit but also to highlight the huge potential it offers to today’s woman in whip up exciting food for her family every day. We used the creative device of various foreign chefs appearing in the kitchen to share their secret ingredient i.e. FunFoods Mayonnaise with the mother to help her transform the normal burger, roti and sandwichinto something magical. Sonali Bendre was strategically chosen as the brand ambassador as she represents the contemporary woman and will help the brand cut through the clutter”
