Mumbai: DS Group’s popular candy brand Pass Pass Pulse recently executed a unique outdoor campaign where the brand’s three variants of the candy were integrated into the traffic signal posts in an innovative format. To extend its communication reach, the same was recreated on TV via a partnership with Whisper Media to deliver the idea through In-Content Advertising (ICA) on popular general entertainment channels.
Pulse’s three popular variants – Litchi, Pineapple and Kachcha Aam – come in red, yellow, and green packaging respectively. Playing on the element of colour, the brand used the significance of these three colours in the context of traffic signals, to create a seamless, never-seen-before outdoor campaign under ‘Pran Jaaye Par Pulse Na Jaaye’ messaging. The brand wanted to bring the same magic to the TV audience in Hindi-Speaking Markets to expand its reach. It partnered with Whisper Media, the Global Leader in Efficient Content Integration, to deliver this effectively using technology.
