    Fashion first, inspired by Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham

    In this festive ad, a Kareena Kapoor look-alike picks the best-dressed guy at a party, thanks to his outfit from Snitch. The message is simple: with Snitch, your style does the talking. Be party-ready with fashion that makes a statement, effortlessly.

    Snitch CMO Chetan Siyal said, “We wanted to do something unique this festive season—something that’s true to the Snitch spirit of confidence with style and fun. Reminiscence is powerful, especially when it connects with a generation that grew up on these famed films. Our aim was to blend that emotion with our fashion to create something memorable and meaningful.”

    The campaign has been conceptualised by market consulting company BeenThereDoneThat (BTDT). Through these exceptional ads, the brand is showcasing its continuous expansion and innovative marketing approach.
