  • Pepsi unveils quirky film to celebrate partnership with Airtel

    Pepsi unveils quirky film to celebrate partnership with Airtel

    Mumbai: In line with PepsiCo India’s partnership with Bharti Airtel, Pepsi has unveiled a new film to mark the announcement. The partnership will be amplified via a robust 360-degree campaign spanning TV, digital, outdoor, and social media.

    The quirky TVC showcases Pepsi’s and Airtel’s latest data offerings on its PET bottles where consumers can avail Airtel recharge benefits worth Rs 10 to 20.

    With the launch of this new TVC, Pepsi aims to bring a streak of celebration with its distinct value-for-money offering through its collaboration with Airtel.

    Speaking on the comical take of the campaign, PepsiCo India’s Pepsi Cola category lead Saumya Rathor said, “Consumers today, more than ever, are seeking value for money. Ahead of the festive season, the partnership with Airtel is an endeavour to bring people together, help them stay connected and bring more smiles with every sip.”

    The light-humoured TVC opens at a basketball practice, where a girl cheekily says hello to a boy. The boy is convinced that the girl loves him because she has asked him to recharge her talk time. However, his friend, who is sitting next to him, asks sarcastically, “If she truly loves you, who is she talking to and spending the talk time on?” The question gives the boy a reality check. However, his friend hands him a chilled bottle of Pepsi to calm him down. Seeing the Airtel recharge discount offer on the Pepsi bottle leaves the boy puzzled, to which his friend smartly responds that the next time you recharge her phone, it will hurt you less as you can use the redeemable discount coupons that come with every Pepsi bottle. Both look at each other, smile, and take another sip of the Pepsi with ‘swag.’

    Godrej Jersey unveils a new digital campaign under its brand name ‘Recharge’

    Mumbai: To mark World Milk Day 2022 on 1 June, Godrej Agrovet’s dairy brand Godrej Jersey has unveiled a new digital video (DVC) to launch an apple flavoured energizing drink under its brand ‘Recharge’. The new ad film highlights its USP of being a hydrating drink that serves ‘Bijlee jaisi energy’.

    The DVC has been conceptualized by leading advertising agency R K Swamy BBDO in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada. It powerfully demonstrates the uniqueness of the product by equating ‘Recharge’ with ‘Bijlee’, which boosts and replenishes lost energy on a hot summer day.

    Recharge is a rejuvenating drink infused with whey proteins that recharge consumers by replenishing the lost energy. It will now be available in four distinct flavours- apple, mango, orange and lemon across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Delhi, Punjab, Mumbai, and Nagpur at INR 10 per 180 ml pack.

    Commenting on the launch, Godrej Jersey CEO Bhupendra Suri said, “Protein inclusion is extremely critical in today’s fast-paced lifestyle. Consuming an energizing drink at an economical price-point of INR 10 is an expedient and convenient way for a majority of our population to include healthy proteins in their hydration needs. We are confident that this is a category-defining product. With this launch, we aim to double our category revenue by FY24.”

    R K Swamy BBDO strategy head Valluri Seshagiri Rao said, “We needed to showcase Godrej Jersey Recharge’s benefit of providing an “energy boost” uniquely and powerfully. An electrifying drink gives you an instant rush — ‘Bijlee jaisi energy!’ Therefore, we equated Recharge with ‘Bijlee’. Visually too, we wanted some transformation in a unique way that could become a property associated with just Recharge for future campaigns. Hence, the bolts in the eyes and hair-spiking of the characters. We’re sure the advertisement will cut ice with consumers, and more people will queue up for a taste of the Bijlee (Recharge).”
