  • 5Star’s new ad draws flak; Ogilvy terms it as ‘unfortunate’ timing

    5Star’s new ad draws flak; Ogilvy terms it as ‘unfortunate’ timing

    MUMBAI: Even though Cadbury attempted to change its 5Star campaign strategy recently, it's got itself in a fix. The new ad film has drawn ire from netizens. Ogilvy India has termed the timing for the campaign as ‘unfortunate’.

    Ogilvy India chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak, responding to indiantelevision.com said: “The timing has been most unfortunate. However, the campaign was conceptualised and executed way before.”

    The new advertising campaign has not gone well with the netizens, especially with the youth, as many took to social media to express their objection regarding the ad film.

    According to them, the ad shows today’s youth in a distasteful manner, at a time when many are voicing their concern by coming out on the streets over the passage and implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

    The chief creative officer explaining further said, “We did not think anyone would take a message that is meant to make you smile, in a wrong way. But yes, there are people who have not understood the point being made and there are a few who have misunderstood the message and are reading it negatively.”

    Cadbury’s 5Star recently changed its television commercial (TVC) and came up with the new ad campaign with renewed tag line — Eat 5Star, Do Nothing. The agency, explaining the idea behind the new ad film, said that the earlier campaign had started to become predictable and as youth abhors predictability, it was eventually decided to change the old ad campaign — Jo Khaaye, Kho Jaaye.

    The new television ad film opens with an aged woman, who is sitting on a roadside bench, asks a young boy to pick up her walking stick that's fallen on the road. The boy is seen standing a little away from her bench and eating his 5Star chocolate. He being busy enjoying his 5Star bar responds to the lady with affirmation 'Ji Maaji' but fails not to move from his position. To which, old lady gets up from the bench to pick the stick herself, and moves away from a bench. The moment she picks up her stick a grand piano falls on the bench that she was sitting on. The lady eventually thanks to the boy for not doing anything.

    As many others appreciating the brand’s message, Nayak mentioned that there are also young people who have understood the message and meaning of the point being made.

    “A large majority are enjoying the creative execution that comes through the humour of the campaign. What is heartening is that some are returning to watch the ad again and again,” he added.

  • New 5Star campaign addresses the youth’s pressure of life’s purpose

    New 5Star campaign addresses the youth’s pressure of life’s purpose

    MUMBAI: Chocolate brand 5Star is known for its smart and catchy TVCs but now it's singing a new tune. 'Eat 5Star, Do Nothing’ is a progression from ‘Get lost in 5Star’.

    Ogilvy India, explaining the thought process behind the new ad campaign, said that the ‘always-on’ generation has been taught to ‘always do something’, either to get noticed, be successful or to keeping with their appearance.

    Ogilvy India chief creative officer Sukesh Nayak, speaking exclusively to Indiantelevision.com said: “The execution of the creative idea is an exaggerated, comical way to suggest that not doing anything is not necessarily a bad thing, and that sometimes even good can come out of it.”

    According to Nayak, “Young people today live in a world that is obsessed with being purposeful and the pressure of ‘purpose’ is getting to some of them.”

    “Almost after being hit for 10 years, ‘Jo Khaaye, Kho Jaaye’ campaign with Ramesh & Suresh was starting to get predictable and the youth abhors predictability. Hence the decision to refresh the proposition was made to take the campaign to the next step,” said the chief creative officer.

    As times have changed dramatically in the last 10 years, especially for our core target group — the Indian youth — the Ramesh & Suresh campaign, being our strong creative asset on the brand, was also making it a blind spot, he added.

    The earlier campaign of the brand with Ramesh & Suresh was about the story of two brothers, who generally get lost in time, whenever they have a bite of Cadbury’s 5Star and forget everything they were doing at that moment. The campaign had received astounding response from the audience.

    Further pointing out the discontinuation of Ramesh and Suresh campaign, Nayak said: “The ‘lost in the taste of 5star’ was so ingrained in the Ramesh Suresh execution the idea that any message using them would be seen as yet another ‘Lost in the taste’ ad. Hence we needed a creative and an execution idea that was very different from Ramesh & Suresh to land the change.”

    The brand recently come up with an advertising campaign wherein a television commercial (TVC) starts with an aged woman, who is sitting on a roadside bench, asks a young boy, who is standing a little away from her and eating 5Star, to pick up her walking stick that's fallen on the road.

    The young boy busy enjoying his 5Star bar, responds with 'Ji Maaji' but fails to not move from his position. To which, old lady gets up to pick the stick herself, and moves away from the bench. The moment she tries to pick up her stick a grand piano falls on the bench she was sitting on. The lady eventually thanks the boy for not doing anything.

  • Cadbury Dairy Milk’s ‘Purple Heart’ Campaign Takes on Cyber Bullying

    INDIA 2019 : 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.
    Cyberbullying Is Most Prevalent in India: Ipsos

    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.

  • Mondelez celebrates 70 years in India with the launch of Cadbury Dairy Milk Spready

    Mondelez celebrates 70 years in India with the launch of Cadbury Dairy Milk Spready

    MUMBAI: To celebrate its 70th anniversary in India, Mondelez India recently launched the new Cadbury Dairy Milk Spready, announcing its foray into the fast-growing spreads category. Also launched was the ‘Cadbury Chocolate Cookbook’ penned by celebrated chocolatier Zeba Kohli.

    Announcing the launch of Cadbury Dairy Milk Spready, Mondelez India director marketing (chocolates) Anil Viswanathan shared that the aim of the brand is to increase per capita chocolate consumption by Indians, which currently is 300 g per year, a starkly different number from 10 kgs in the USA.

    He further commented, “Chocolate spreads is a strategically important adjacent category witnessing fast retail value growth over the past few years. With our tremendous equity in chocolate, we believe this is an opportune time for Mondelez India to foray into this category. This format enables us to enter into our consumers’ homes and their kitchens and be a part of their in-home consumption experiences. It is ideal for simple snacking occasions or can be used as an ingredient for baking by home chefs. We want to be the first taste of chocolate for consumers in every format. At a competitive price point, consumers can now enjoy the alluring taste of Cadbury Dairy Milk in a format that complements their meals, snacks and desserts.”

    Speaking about the cookbook Viswanathan said, “We are also delighted to be partnering with Zeba Kohli to launch our very special Cadbury Chocolate Cookbook, which has 70 recipes where Cadbury Dairy Milk Spready and our other products can be used in innovative recipes.”

    Anil Viswanathan also shared that the launch will be supported by a massive digital campaign, which will focus on the versatility of the spread as a common kitchen ingredient that can be used with any dish to make it tastier, more interesting, and #Cadburylicious to the kids and young adults. He also noted that Cadbury is also working towards making its products more relevant to people of all age brackets.

  • Mondelez India lights up village of diya-makers this Diwali

    Mondelez India lights up village of diya-makers this Diwali

    MUMBAI: Festivals form an intrinsic part of the Indian culture. Mondelez India, with its spirited campaigns, colourful packaging and unique product formats has been at the heart of India’s festive spirit for over 70 years.

    This year, Mondelez India brings alive the joy of goodness by bringing people together and strengthens relationships with a deep rooted mantra of generosity and making a difference to people’s lives. Just like no festival is complete without celebrations, Diwali cannot be revered in its true sense without illuminating our homes with diyas.

    Surchand in Rajasthan is a village famously known as the village of diyamakers, while they have been lighting up our lives for 50 years, they themselves continue to live in darkness; until recently, when Mondelez India decided to install solar panels at their homes, ensuring that Diwali, the festival of lights holds true for every house in Surchand.

    Mondelez India director of marketing (Chocolates) Anil Viswanathan says, “Cadbury is a brand built on the founding principle of goodness and generosity. The initiative reminds us of how any act of kindness, however small, can bring joy to people around you, thereby building on our strong proposition of ‘Kuch Achha Ho Jaaye, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye’. This Diwali, we hope to celebrate the generosity in everyone, showcasing how such moments go on to strengthen human relationships.”a

    "Brand speak is no longer enough. If you really want to be a brand that matters, you have to be a brand that does. Cadbury has always had generosity at its core. So when Diwali came around, we discovered this village that makes diyas for a living, but doesn’t have electricity for most of the day. The irony was obvious. And the solution was too. What if we could light up their lives, the way they light up ours? From there it was only getting it done that was the hard part. And their reactions were totally worth the hard work,” adds Ogilvy & Mather executive creative director Neville Shah.

  • India accounts for $900 mn for Mondelez: Maurizio Brusadelli

    India accounts for $900 mn for Mondelez: Maurizio Brusadelli

    MUMBAI: Mondelēz International has finally launched its newest global research, sevelopment and quality technical centre in India located in Thane, Maharashtra.

    The India Technical Centre has been set up with an investment of $15 million and will support new products and technologies for the company’s global brands in chocolate and beverages.

    The India hub joins nine other Mondelēz International Technical Centres around the world that are already in operation, including East Hanover, New Jersey, in the United States; Curitiba in Brazil; Bournville and Reading, both in the UK; Wroclaw in Poland; Singapore; Suzhou in China; Saclay in France and Munich in Germany.

    The Indian Technical Centre will also focus on consumer science, packaging and productivity. This is part of the company’s strategy to invest $65 million in developing a global network of state-of-the-art technical hubs strategically positioned around the world. 

    The chocolate giant has launched few products in the past specially for the Indian consumers to cater to their need and taste. Fuse, Cadbury Lickables, Dairy Milk Silk and the timeless 5Star, were all made in India first and later replicated in other parts of the world. 

    The Thane Centre will collaborate on innovations with multiple countries within the company network. “As we accelerate consumer-centric growth across both our global and local heritage brands, innovation plays a crucial role,” says Mondelez India Managing Director Deepak Iyer. 

    Spread across an area of 12000 sq meters, the Thane Technical Centre will be equipped with multiple technical capabilities, such as a pilot plant, a packaging creative studio and a range of laboratories for technical research and development. The team of around 150 scientists, developers, engineers, analytical chemists and other specialists will closely collaborate on innovations across the globe. The site is a zero water discharge facility, zero waste to landfill and has 100 percent rain water harvesting.

    India is the fastest growing market in the world for Mondelez and has the highest chocolate market share amongst all other countries for the Cadbury maker. Mondelez EVP for AMEA region Maurizio Brusadelli states that Indian market accounts for $900 million for Mondelez.

    However, it will be a challenge for Mondelez to sustain its growth with newer products and companies entering the market. Recently, Hershey International also launches its iconic Hershey’s kisses in India that will be Made in India specifically to cater the Indian consumers. But Mondelez does not see that as a challenge and rather considers it as a healthy competition. Deepak says, “We always want competition in the market. The average chocolate consumption in India is very low as compared to other parts of the world. We hope that with our competitors we can continue to grow the category.”

    Mondelez has been present in India for over 70 years. The company introduced Cadbury Dairy Milk and Bournvita in India in 1948 and since then has been a leader in the chocolate category in the country.

    The company operates in the chocolate, beverages, biscuits and candy categories in India with brands like Cadbury Dairy Milk, Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk, Cadbury Celebrations, Cadbury Bournville, Cadbury 5 Star, Cadbury Perk, Cadbury Fuse, Cadbury Gems, Cadbury Bournvita, Tang, Cadbury Oreo, Bournvita Biscuits, Halls and Cadbury Choclairs Gold. 

    Headquartered in Mumbai, the company has sales offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai and manufacturing facilities at Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh in addition to a vast distribution network across the country.
