NEW DELHI: In the run-up to Christmas and the New Year, Chupa Chups has rolled out its new digital campaign #FunKaBooster which is rooted in its philosophy of ‘Fun is for life, and not just for kids.’
Chupa Chups aims to liberate the ‘inner kid’ in teens as they go through the stress of ‘adulting’ in their daily lives. Teens live in a pressure cooker world of academic and social expectations. Added to this is the desire to fit in and be liked by others, online and offline. Chupa Chups believes that we can all do with a little spontaneous childlike fun in the midst of all this adulting.
As part of the #FunKaBooster campaign, two digital-only films, produced by Bang Bang Pictures, highlight fun and spontaneity but in the most un-boring fashion. The films are based on little stress points that our protagonists face in everyday life, but are able to handle with cool composure, inspired by Chupa Chups.
Perfetti Van Melle India (PVMI) director – marketing Rohiy Kapoor said, “Chupa Chups has always stood for keeping the inner kid and childlike fun alive in our protagonists. Tapping into insights relevant to today’s teens, Chupa Chups #FunKaBooster campaign urges teens to let go of the pressure of adulting by instilling some irreverent fun into their lives. We believe that this campaign will increase the brand relevance of Chupa Chups and help take the brand to greater heights.”
Ogilvy- north, CCO Ritu Sharda said, “The age of social media has put pressure on teens today. On top of their grades, extracurriculars, schoolwork… they also have to think about how popular they are, how many followers they have, how many stories they’re putting on their channels. Here is where we found space as a brand to tell these teens to just have fun and take the load off. The brand of fun we endorse is irreverent – not taking away from the great impact teens today will have on the world of tomorrow but asking them to fully enjoy whatever they are doing with a ‘Chupa Chups’ twist.”
