Britannia | Britannia Bourbon | India

Indian baked goods company Britannia Industries has launched a television campaign for its Bourbon chocolate biscuit line.

“We wanted to reposition Bourbon as a youth brand and to create an affinity for the target audience that makes Britannia Bourbon one of their preferred brands,” said Shalini Degan, category director in Britannia.

As the agency of record, McCann Erickson plays on the theme of how the younger generation likes to get exactly what it wants. The campaign tells the story of how a girlfriend intentionally spoils a guys-only soccer night by turning up and eating Bourbon biscuits in a sensual way. The guys are so distracted by this that they forget about the soccer match altogether.

Britannia is said to be India’s largest biscuit firm, with an estimated 38 per cent market share.
