    MUMBAI: Beverage company Parle Agro has strengthened its positioning in the sparkling fruit drink category by rolling out a multi-media campaign for its Fizz portfolio. The brand’s Appy Fizz and B-Fizz offerings are all set to go big with a first-ever television commercial.

    The film, featuring national brand ambassador Priyanka Chopra and leveraged in the south with superstar Jr NTR, is already on air and will be aired across national and regional channels.

    Parle Agro’s summer campaign for 2021 is set to build the Fizz portfolio further and position it as the next big super duo brand in the beverage industry. It plans on generating tremendous buzz with an aggressive multimedia campaign, including TV, OOH and digital.

    “Our brand ambassadors are not only the biggest and most celebrated icons in their fields, they also complement the leadership position of Parle Agro’s fizz brands as well. With the collective effort of this massive launch for our Fizz portfolio, we aim to double our market share in the sparkling fruit drink category in the coming year,” said Parle Agro joint managing director & CMO Nadia Chauhan.

    The TVC this year will also have a strong focus on digital strategy and engagement as Parle Agro invests in IPL to a large degree. With B-Fizz being a youth-centric brand, and IPL being a cricket format favoured by the youth, Parle Agro believes this digital partnership with IPL on Hotstar will generate the right reach.

    Plans are underway to expand B-Fizz’s SKU to reach new audiences and to expand the brand’s footprint. This will help Parle Agro build new opportunities that will further bolster the positioning of B-Fizz.

    &Walsh, the creative agency for Parle Agro, has led the campaign narrative for the television commercials, print and digital. The films have been produced by Superlounge, LLC, New York, USA along with Scissor Films and directed by John Poliquin.

    After making his foray into Bollywood with the remake of Zanjeer, the actor from down south is making some bigger moves… albeit the failure of his debut film, Ram Charan has been roped in for Salman Khan’s home production.

     

    Earlier, speculations were rife that Ram Charan was offered a film under Salman Khan’s home production. If latest reports are to be believed, the film will soon be launched. Apparently, Ram Charan was in Mumbai last week to discuss about the project that will be produced by Salman.

     

    Besides his Hindi project, Ram Charan is also working on a couple of Telugu films. The actor’s upcoming film Yevadu, directed by Vamsi Paidipally, is getting ready for a grand release. The film was scheduled to hit the screens on 10 October, but the release date was pushed further to pave way for Jr NTR’s Ramayya Vastavayya. Yevadu producer Dil Raju, who also happens to be the producer of Ramayya Vastavayya, had revealed that the Ram Charan-starrer might hit theatres during Diwali or Christmas.

     

    Ram Charan is also set to begin working in a new film, directed by Krishna Vamsi. The film, deemed as a family entertainer, will have Venkatesh teaming up with the Magadheera hero for the first time. The director is said to have completed the script and the film’s shooting is expected to begin soon.
