INDIA, August 24, 2018: Mondelez India, the creators of the Chocolate Gifting market in India have recently rolled out a new campaign for Raksha Bandhan, in line with Cadbury Dairy Milk’s new positioning of ‘Kuch Achha Ho Jaaye, Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye’. The new exciting packs of Cadbury Celebrations and Cadbury Gifting Portfolio, are making the festive season even sweeter and memorable, along with a heart-warming TVC highlighting the brother-sister bond.

Commenting on the exciting festive offering, Anil Viswanathan, Director - Marketing (Chocolates), Mondelez India said, “Over the years, Mondelez India has been an intrinsic part of festivals with Cadbury Celebrations becoming India’s favorite gifting option. Cadbury Celebrations brings alive the joy of gifting by getting people together and strengthening relationships especially during festivals like Raksha Bandhan. We aim to bank on the Cadbury Celebrations Premium Selection chocolates with revamped and premium packaging to help us connect with our consumers this festive season. Our Raksha Bandhan TVC, in a heart-warming set up, highlights the innocent brother-sister relation and how a pack of Cadbury Celebrations brings them closer to each other, than ever. Linking in with the recently launched Cadbury Dairy Milk Generosity Campaign, this Rakhi commercial also brings alive the acts of generosity that makes our festivals full or warmth and renewed good feelings amongst relationships far and close”

The new TVC features the story of a younger brother going the extra mile, by sacrificing the money he saved for his cricket bat, to buy his sister a ‘rakhi’ gift – a box of Cadbury Celebrations. Of a simple sacrifice, that enhances the love between them. The new campaign is led by a TVC and further amplified through digital and social activations along with innovative OOH.

The company has been making strides in e-commerce, creating new shopping opportunities through personalization and gifting platforms. This festive season, the company has also designed an ecommerce innovation using personalization to take the gifting experience a notch up. Consumers will be able to customize their Cadbury Celebrations and other eCommerce exclusive Cadbury Gift boxes with heartfelt messages to create a truly special personalized gift for their siblings.

Abhishek Ahluwalia, e-Commerce Lead, Mondelez India said “Last year, Mondelez India announced the launch of its first direct-to-consumer website “Cadbury Joy Deliveries” – www.cadburygifting.in .This Raksha Bandhan we are taking it a step further with adding a personal touch to the packaging of the Cadbury Celebrations and other eCommerce exclusive Cadbury Gift boxes. The website allows you to customize a heartfelt message and add photographs for your beloved sibling at attractive prices.
