This Friendship Day, Indian brands made the day into a full fledged emotional and online celebration, and Parle G took center stage with its soul stirring social media campaign.
Renowned for making memories of childhood, Parle G launched an emotionally satisfying time warp that worked for customers. The campaign was about ageless friendships forged in moments of chai and Parle G biscuits, reminding customers that there are some things, such as the iconic biscuit, that never get old. The narrative was nostalgic in tone, switching between warm visuals and shared moments to reinforce the appeal of long-term friendships.
While others joined the party in a blend of emotion and attitude too. McDonald's India and Coca Cola India launched The Coke to My McD, a witty nod to their long standing collaboration. With twinning profile pictures and lighthearted tweets, the campaign commemorated friendship during the internet age with an edge.
Swiggy joined hands with Snapchat to create an unparalleled digital moment. The collaboration used Snapchat's First Snap, First Story, and First Lens features on a single day, offering exclusive ₹150 coupons to Instagram users and keeping Swiggy top of mind amidst the celebrations.
