One of the country’s leading food product companies, Britannia has unveiled a new advertising campaign starring Ravi Shastri, the former Indian cricketer.
During the current cricket season, Britannia’s 50-50 Golmaal is enabling viewers to interact with Shaz and receive ‘Golmaal’ advice via personalised video answers.
In the campaign, executed by Mindshare India, the elite commentator responds to fans’ odd inquiries with wit and humour. At the centre of this campaign is the brand’s dedication to commemorating its long-standing relationship with cricket and providing a warm invitation to the public to embrace their inner curiosity. By doing this, the company gives customers a fun way to ask the former Indian coach questions about cricket, thus improving the customization experience.
The 61-year-old’s digital persona comes to life by immersing the viewer in the context of cricket amid the pinnacle of this cricket season’s fervour, fulfilling fans’ yearning to hear from a cricketing veteran in a whole new way.
