KOCHI:
Marico, one of the leading FMCG companies, is excited to announce its latest campaign for Saffola Oats in celebration of the vibrant and joyous festival of Onam. Embracing the essence of tradition and festivity, Saffola brings Kerala’s rich cultural heritage to life with a delightful and nutritious twist on traditional dishes using oats, all through a captivating new film along with exclusive packaging for Onam.
The new ad film, conceptualized by Maitri Advertising Works Pvt Ltd, beautifully captures the joy and togetherness that Onam brings to millions of households in Kerala. It features two women engaged in a playful competition to create the best Onam delicacies, each including their secret ingredient – Saffola Oats, unaware that it’s the common factor in both culinary creations. As the festivities unfold, the women discover that they both are using the same special ingredient – Saffola Oats, leading them to set aside their competition and unite in the true spirit of the festival, celebrating friendship, love, and festivity.
The film subtly highlights how Saffola Oats can be a versatile and wholesome addition to traditional Onam dishes like puttu, dosha, vada, unniappam, and pal payasam, making these festive favorites both nutritious and delicious.
Speaking about the campaign, Vaibhav Bhanchawat, Chief Operating Officer – India & Foods Business (Marico Ltd.), says, “Onam is a time of joy, togetherness, and a celebration of cultural heritage. We wanted to create a campaign that celebrates this spirit while offering a nutritious twist in the beloved Onam delicacies by incorporating oats. The film beautifully illustrates how incredibly versatile oats are, it not only blend seamlessly into any dish but also elevate the flavour.
We hope that through this campaign, we can inspire families to enjoy the best of both worlds – the traditional flavours of Onam and the versatility of Saffola Oats. To complement the occasion, we’ve also introduced new packaging that beautifully captures the spirit of Onam.”
Francis Thomas, Group Creative Director, Maitri Advertising Works Pvt Ltd. shares his experience on building the campaign idea, “When Marico approached us, we wanted to authentically represent Onam in Kerala. Instead of the typical ‘tharavaad’ scenes, we depicted the real-life tradition of exchanging dishes with neighbors, where a Malayalee always returns the ‘dabba’ with a small gift. We were fortunate that the clients trusted Maitri’s regional expertise and that adsflo Worldwide delivered this complex message engagingly.”
The special Onam edition pack features a beautiful rendition of the festival’s festivities. The new pack is available across all general trade and modern trade outlets in Kerala, with an assured ₹100 cashback offer.
This Onam, elevate your festive celebrations with the delicious taste and nutritious benefits of Saffola Oats. Saffola Oats’ soft grains add a delightful creaminess to traditional Onam recipes, making them even more enjoyable for the whole family.
