This Father’s Day, the brand launched *The Unfinished Letter*, a campaign that invites individuals to express emotions they may have never fully shared — whether it’s gratitude, an apology, a memory, or words left unsaid. Through this initiative, Parker aims to revive the culture of letter writing and inspire more meaningful human connections. While inspired by Father’s Day, the campaign extends beyond the occasion, encouraging people to write to fathers, father figures, loved ones no longer present, or new fathers, celebrating relationships that have quietly shaped their lives.

This Father’s Day, SNITCH moved beyond traditional gifting and celebrated the occasion through shared experiences, conversations, and meaningful moments centred around the father-child relationship.

Through social media, SNITCH encouraged people to share videos expressing “I love you, Dad,” with selected participants winning tickets to attend the show with their fathers.

Extending the experience offline, SNITCH introduced special Father’s Day activations across its retail stores, encouraging families to turn shopping into a shared and memorable experience.

Prega News
Prega News, a pregnancy care brand has launched a campaign this Father’s Day that turns the spotlight on paternity leave and on the quiet but critical role fathers play in the earliest days of parenthood. The campaign goes live with a film that captures a reality many Indian families know well: a new father who wants to stay, who is needed at home, but who has little systemic support to do so. According to available data, only 32% of Indian companies currently offer paternity leave, discouraged in practice or treated as optional rather than a right.
