    Indian brands turn heads and hearts at Kantar’s ad-effectiveness awards

    MUMBAI: Culture met creativity head-on, and Indian brands walked away with the spoils. Danone, Hindustan Unilever, Haleon and Godrej Consumer Products were among the big winners at Kantar India’s Creative Effectiveness Awards, which celebrated five years of ads that hit both hearts and wallets.

    With more than 1,350 Indian creatives tested in 2024—out of 12,000 globally—the winners were chosen not by agency suits, but by the toughest (and truest) critics: everyday consumers. Think festival rituals, everyday mishaps, Bollywood throwbacks and even snarky political satire. The kind of stuff that makes you nod, laugh or text your mum.

    HUL took home the crown across TV and digital. Meanwhile, Godrej Fab tickled funny bones with its satirical punch, Pond’s struck a Bollywood chord, and Nihar shaved off grooming clichés with flair.

    To mark the fifth anniversary of the awards, Kantar unveiled a snappy new mantra—distilled from half a decade of tracking India’s most powerful campaigns. Turns out, the most effective ads haven’t lost the plot: culture still sells, and creativity still seals the deal.

    The report’s insights are as spicy as a masala chai:

    ●    Culture is comfort food: Great Indian ads are like dal—with a creative tadka. They’re emotional, familiar, and loaded with meaning.

    ●    Tiny moments, big memories: It’s not grand gestures but the small stuff—rainy train stations, puja rituals, awkward family dinners—that truly lands.

    ●    Multilingual magic: Language may vary, but emotion doesn’t. The most effective brands ditched the Hindi-only formula for regionally rooted storytelling.

    ●    Execution eats strategy for breakfast: Music, humour, idioms, casting—get them right, and you’ve got a winner.

    Influencer-driven content, says Kantar, isn’t just noise—it holds eyeballs 2.2 times longer than standard ads, and delivers a 58 per cent average salience score. That’s gold in today’s skip-happy world.

    In India, you don’t invent culture—you tune into it, add some flavour, and serve it up with feeling. That’s how brands go from ads to icons.

Additionally, a convenient 100ml sachet is available at just Rs 10, providing double the quantity of competing liquid detergents. Be it for consumers opting for bucket washing or machine washing, Godrej Fab eases the chore of doing laundry, transforming it into a gratifying experience.

    Commenting on the launch, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) chief marketing officer – India Ashwin Moorthy said, “Godrej is a pioneer in the liquid detergent category with Ezee – dominating the market in North and East with its winter specialist credentials. From household insecticides; hair colour to soaps, Godrej Consumer Products has always democratised categories. With Godrej Fab, too, we are leveraging our expertise in the liquid detergent category and making it accessible to everyone, thereby democratising access to quality laundry care.”

    He further added, “The liquid detergent category is one of the fastest-growing categories. This growth is due to increased household penetration of washing machines across the South. Consumer awareness and adoption of liquid detergents is also growing with features such as easily soluble format, quality wash experience and more fragrance compared to powder detergents. Godrej Fab will further support the growth of the category by catering to consumers who seek an enhanced laundry experience at a competitive price point.”

    The liquid detergent category is one of the fastest-growing categories in India’s FMCG sector.  The growth of liquid detergents is spearheaded by the Southern region which commands close to half of overall nationwide sales.

    As part of the launch, a TVC campaign of Godrej Fab has also been unveiled across South India. The commercial is conceptualised by Lightbox, the in-house creative studio of GCPL. The TVC features comedians who are household names in the south – VTV Ganeshan and Redin Kingsley.

    Speaking on the Godrej Fab TVC’s creative thought, Godrej Consumer Products Ltd (GCPL) lead creative strategist – Lightbox Shalini Avadhani said, “Reputation is a lot like a white shirt – Pure and powerful when clean, but also delicate enough to be ruined by a simple stain. When both are at stake, we wanted the brand to be the heroic saviour. We felt a weighty payoff like this is best delivered with comedy.”

    Godrej Fab offers a superior laundry experience at the consumer’s convenience by effortlessly dissolving in water, leaving no residue after minimal rinsing, preserving vibrant colours, and ensuring fresh, fragrant clothes post-wash. It is suited for bucket washing, semi-automatic and fully automatic top-load washing machines.
