  • McCain Foods rolls out first TVC with Karisma Kapoor

    MUMBAI: McCain Foods have launched their new television commercial featuring the company‘s first brand ambassador Karisma Kapoor.

    The TVC has been conceptualised by Leo Burnett and produced by Whacky Films Company.

    The campaign revolves around McCain‘s new tagline, ‘Jhatse banao, kuch tasty khao‘ which translates to ‘Quick, fun and tasty snacks made in a jiffy‘.

    The TVC opens with Karisma saying that earlier she was constantly worried about the doorbell ringing, as it would bring kids, family, friends and unexpected guests with their demands of tasty food in minutes.

    However, today when the door bell rings, she welcomes everybody with a smile. She walks into the kitchen and makes McCain snacks in just ‘3minutes‘ from ‘freezer-to-fryer‘. In last scene, Karisma is seen serving McCain snacks to her family. Everybody kicks into celebration mood after tasting the assortment of fun snacks prepared by her within ‘3 minutes‘. The TVC ends with her family member asking ‘Bahar se mangwaya‘ and Karisma smiles back saying, ‘nahin, ghar par McCain banaya‘.

    McCain Foods India general manager – marketing Gunjan Pandey said, “We are a nation of food loving people and our love for food bonds us together. With this campaign, we wanted to capture the happiness, fun and joy which we feel when we indulge in good food”.

    Leo Burnett executive director Sainath Saraban said, “It is ingrained in every Indian woman‘s heart that her family looks up to her for tasty food. She gets constantly challenged on whether her food would meet the expectations of guests and family or not. Situations like unexpected guests at home, kids asking for interesting evening snacks and family members craving for exciting food make her restless. Through this Ad campaign, we have tried to address her inner turmoil. It portrays elevated pride of the ‘lady of the house‘ when delighted family members wonder, whether this food was ordered from outside.”
