Creative Execution

As LIVE is more ENGAGING, A full blown award show of Indian TV actors (Indian Television Academy Awards) on India’s biggest TV Channel “ Star Plus” was created where “Krack” and “Jack”, characters from brand TVC, brought out “sweet” & “Salty” side of nominees and clearly communicated the brand positioning LIVE amongst the TG. Show hosts dressed as “Krack” & “Jack”, characters from TVC, asked nominees about competing stars. To “Krack”, nominees praised competition, whereas “Jack” provoked nominees to say opposing views. Hosts branded it as “KrackJack Unveiling Personalities”. Thus both the brand ambassadors brought out sweet-&-salty sides of celebrity LIVE on the stage strengthening the brand proposition. 10 branded messages during live activity reinforced brand communication. We made Star Plus air 5 teasers in “coming up” programming sections during the break. Sponsor tags ran more than 1000 times.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Parle Krackjack, sweet-&-salty biscuit brand was losing relevance amongst its TG due to increased availability of other snacking options. This was evident from declining scores of “Sweet-&-Salty” parameter in brand track. Challenge was to strengthen brand positioning “Sweet-&-Salty Taste” Regular sponsorships add little value to brand positioning as it enhances only saliency. Live brand demonstration on TV was essential to strengthen positioning. We created evolved breed of “Sponsorships” inspired by theory of Charles Darwin which states “As more individuals of species are born, there is struggle for existence”. We worked with the insight- “There is Sweet-&-Salty sides of every individual” In India, Television Serials are popular among Indian Women (TG) & TV stars have huge fan following. Strategy was to bring out sweet-&-salty side of TV celebrities. We “bettered the best” of sponsorship norms, creating next league of sponsorship evolution by driving “brand-experience among millions of consumers”
