At Cannes Lions 2023, Mondelez won the Creative Effectiveness Grand Prix for ‘Shah Rukh Khan – My Ad’.
During the festive quarter, the confectionery and snack company created an initiative through which local retailers could create personalised ads for their businesses. A microsite was created that allowed small business owners to generate personalised ads, with Shah Rukh Khan ‘himself’ using owners’ stores’ names in ads that post on social media and other platforms. The company claimed that the campaign garnered 35% growth in business and helped 200,000 small stores across India.
Recently, Cadbury Celebrations launched an AI campaign #MyBirthdaySong where the gifter can make a customised birthday song. Through this campaign, Mondelez aimed to highlight how the jingle (which is the same in every language) can reflect the individualism of the giftee.
