    Mondelez India forays into snack bar category with Cadbury Fuse Fit

    Mumbai: Mondelez India on Thursday announced its foray into the snack bar category with the launch of the new Cadbury Fuse Fit. The company said it aims to develop the current niche and growing snack bar segment, with the evolving consumer palate choosing ‘healthier’ alternatives in daily snacking.

    With Cadbury milk chocolate as a bedrock, the snack bar packs together the goodness of peanuts and almonds that make for 50 per cent of the bar, fulfilling 10 per cent  of daily protein requirement, said the chocolate brand.

    “Consumers are now increasingly looking for on-the-go snacks that could be for mid-morning hunger, mental stimulation or even to break fatigue, as they spend the most time at home. With that, they are also making discerning snacking choices that deliver both goodness & taste – a pandemic-infused change that is here to stay,” said Mondelez India senior director – marketing, Anil Viswanathan. “We truly believe that there exists untapped potential for the category that we are well poised to fulfill. With Cadbury Fuse Fit, we are set to yet again bring alive our vision to empower our consumers with more choice and solidify brand love for our products.”

    The launch of Cadbury Fuse Fit will be supported by a 360-degree communication campaign, that includes digital activation, outdoor, tie-ups in the fitness ecosystems like gyms & apps, and influencer engagement initiatives, in addition to consumer sampling to drive trials via multiple channels, said the company.

  • Mondelez India, Ogilvy India say thank you through limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk bars

    Mondelez India, Ogilvy India say thank you through limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk bars

    MUMBAI: Mondelez India, in partnership with Ogilvy India, recently introduced a limited-edition Cadbury Dairy Milk ‘thank you’ bar by giving up the Cadbury Dairy Milk logo on the pack, in recognition of the generous spirit of the country’s unsung heroes during these difficult times. Cadbury Dairy Milk has replaced its logo with the words ‘thank you’. The domestic help, the driver, the security guard, the milkman, just a few of the countless women and men who go about their jobs without seeking praise or pats on the back. 

    This is the first time in its 70-year history in India that Cadbury Dairy Milk has created a pack innovation that replaces its logo. To celebrate the linguistic diversity across India, the Cadbury Dairy Milk ‘thank you’ bars will be launched in eight different languages – English, Hindi/Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, to deliver the message of gratitude and support from each and every one of us.

    This limited-edition thank you bar extends beyond gratitude, and into action. Mondelez India has also committed a part of the proceeds from the sale of the bars towards health insurance policies for daily wagers (i.e. labourers, domestic help, etc.) via a partnership with Nirmana, an NGO working with the unorganised sector.

    Cadbury’s Dairy Milk ‘thank you’ bars, Mondelez India director-marketing (chocolates) Anil Viswanathan said, “Cadbury Dairy Milk as a brand, believes that if there’s one thing that can shine a beam of light in the world, it is generosity. Especially in tough times like these. As India’s most trusted brand, we understand the special role Cadbury Dairy Milk plays in the lives of our consumers. This special pack-innovation represents the nation’s sentiment. The current unprecedented situation has made us all realise the value of the ones that run our cities, societies and lives. This launch serves as a small tribute for their enormous efforts and only begins to express our collective thanks to these unsung heroes.”

    Ogilvy India  CCO Sukesh Nayak said, “The idea of saying Thank you with a Cadbury is a simple and heartfelt way to further inspire the spirit of generosity amongst people. The bar not only highlights the tension but presents itself as a solution on the need to acknowledge those who add magic to our life by their dedication.”

    During the tough times we are facing today, there are various people who are working tirelessly at the frontline to manage the situation. While the doctors and nurses deserve every bit of praise and gratitude that has come their way, they too have a set of people who they depend upon to keep operations running smoothly. The almost invisible, unacknowledged support and ancillary staff at a hospital. The canteen cooks, the waiters, the electrician on call, the ambulance driver and his helper, the janitor, the receptionist, the IT guys, even the errand boys. Cadbury handed over ‘Thank You’ bars to support staff in multiple hospitals in the Covid hit major metros of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Bengaluru. This special drive is being further amplified via a tie-up with regional media houses, which is expected to extend this ‘Thank You’ to many more hospitals across India. The campaign idea will also be extended further through various sponsored content and multimedia channels, with strong partnerships with media houses and publications.

    The pack innovation-led activation is the first part of a fully integrated marketing plan with touchpoints across broadcast, digital, print, radio channels and on ground activation. The campaign is aimed at unlocking a realisation that we have so many to be thankful for, all around us. It wants the glow of generosity to extend as far across the nation as possible. And using its multi-lingual packs, it will enable regional targeting to engage with audiences across geographies.

    With a health insurance component integrated into the purchase of the chocolate, the Cadbury Dairy Milk bar is the sweetest way to #SayThankYou.

    The ‘thank you’ bars are priced at Rs 40 for 50 grams and is already available as a choice alongside other Cadbury Dairy Milk price points across all retail channels.

  • Cadbury Dairy Milk’s ‘Purple Heart’ campaign takes on Cyber Bullying

    Cadbury Dairy Milk’s ‘Purple Heart’ campaign takes on Cyber Bullying

    MUMBAI: Cadbury Dairy Milk, India’s favorite chocolate brand, recently announced the launch of #HeartTheHate campaign, against Cyber-Bullying in the run-up to this year’s Friendship Day.

    Commenting on the launch of this unique campaign, Anil Viswanathan, Director – Marketing (Chocolates), Mondelez India, said, “Cadbury Dairy Milk as a brand, believes that if there’s one thing that can shine a beam of light through the cracks in an increasingly divided world – is Generosity. A little bit of generosity can go a long way and often it’s the smallest things that have the biggest impact. Cyber-bullying is something which affects everyone especially young people as they feel isolated and depressed when they are exposed to it. The #Heartthehate Campaign builds on a very simple insight that when friends post something as simple as a purple heart in response to the trolls, young people feel less isolated and hence the impact of online bullying is reduced. This campaign is another small step to create a big impact towards social issues.”

    Increasingly, cyber bullying is becoming a norm, which is a worrying trend across the world. And as per an international survey by Ipsos in 2018, the problem is particularly bad in India, which showed the highest rate of parents confirming instances of cyber bullying. According to the study, 37% of Indian parents admitted that their child was bullied online, especially on social media, with approximately 14% of them reporting that the bullying occurred regularly.

    In 2018, a total of 37% of polled parents across India said their child was bullied online, with 14% of that total saying the bullying occurred on a regular basis. 
    gular basis. 

    However, it just takes one person to stand up against such bullies. When that one person stands up, it encourages significant support from others as well. Conceptualized by Ogilvy India and Facebook, the campaign is based on the idea of friends standing up for each other and expressing solidarity with victims by replying with the ‘Purple Heart’ emoticon in response to every troll comment on the victim’s timeline, along with the hashtag #HeartTheHate. This ‘Purple Heart’ emoticon is present on every keypad in the world making it easy for everyone to use it and be a part of this movement. The idea is to give people a visual device (the Purple Heart) to express their support for the people getting bullied thus resulting in an outpouring of positive emotions and support overriding the negativity created by the abuse of online bullying.

    Cadbury Dairy Milk is encouraging people to unite against cyberbullying and lend support to a friend by posting a purple heart when they come across a troll or a negative comment on social media platforms. The #HeartTheHate campaign is in line with the company’s objective to continue fostering love for Cadbury Dairy Milk by strengthening its generosity narrative.

    Commenting on the campaign, Prakash Nair, Executive Vice President, Ogilvy India said “Today while online/social media has become the youth's hangout place, it is also a place where they face a lot of harassment and bullying. Cadbury Dairy Milk, with its proposition of Kuch Achha Ho Jaaye, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye, decided to act on this by arming the youth with a simple weapon to silence the bully – a purple heart emoji. Whenever a friend is getting trolled, all they must do is troll the troller with a purple heart. This simple, generous act of posting a purple heart can help drown out hate comments. Even if one bully is drowned by the purple heart, it will be a worthwhile initiative.

    Commenting on the campaign, Siddharth Banerjee, Director, Global Sales Organisation, Facebook India said “We believe the Purple Heart campaign is a great initiative by Mondelez India to champion social good in India. Using the Purple Heart, an easily accessible emoji, is a very visual and native idea for the youth. Facebook is very proud to partner with Mondelez India and Ogilvy in bringing this cause to life.”

    The campaign will be supported with a digital film, along with an integrated multi-media marketing campaign, which will include influencers engagements and on-ground activations and is being executed with the help of Wavemaker India.

It is extremely heartening to see that the engagement on the social media posts has been predominantly positive, reinforcing our belief that we as a people are inherently generous. After all, in India, we live by the code of ‘Atithi Devo Bhava’, the ultimate expression of generosity.”

    Sukesh Nayak, CCO, Ogilvy India West said, "Offering a second chance without judgement or righteousness is one of the most generous things anyone can do. We wanted to give out a message that the goodness within us is what defines us. And we believe it’s not just the brand welcoming them back. It is the entire cricketing world and the fans being at their generous best by giving them an opportunity to get back to what they love most, cricket.”

  • Ogilvy, Cadbury launch new campaign for Silk Hazelnut

    Ogilvy, Cadbury launch new campaign for Silk Hazelnut

    MUMBAI: Kicking off the new year, Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk has introduced another delicious novelty – Silk Hazelnut that is an irresistible combination of rich creamy chocolate and whole Turkish hazelnuts. Ogilvy has created a brand campaign for that.

    Hazelnuts are unknown in India – this was the challenge.  How do we tell another irresistible story with an unknown ingredient? To bring alive the USP, the Ogilvy creative team highlighted the best part about the consumption experience. The best part of the consumption experience was the inclusion of whole hazelnuts. Every bite makes you pout!

    Link: https://we.tl/t-ODszwTxPXU

    Ogilvy West senior executive creative director Zenobia Pithawalla said, “The new Silk Hazelnut comes with whole hazelnuts from Turkey. We tell the new ingredient story by bringing alive the eat experience. The inclusion of whole hazelnuts makes you pout while you devour the chocolate. So every time the girl takes a bite she looks like she is pouting to kiss.  Making the 'Kiss me' jingle feel like it was written for this one.   When consumers in India think premium ingredients, they think almonds, cashews, walnuts. Hazelnut was nowhere in the picture.”

    Ogilvy West head of planning Ganapathy Balagopalan said, “Hazelnut is relatively unfamiliar to Indian consumers. So, we have given consumers something unique to remember and desire- the new Silk Hazelnut, ensuring it continued to be true to core promise of Silk indulgence. The creative does this using a clever device that is both cheeky and charming.”
