Mumbai: Parle Products, India’s leading biscuits, snacks, and confectionery manufacturer, has launched three new TVCs in Maharashtra for Parle Marie biscuit. This new localized campaign is part of the company’s regional marketing strategy designed to drive engagement and build relationships with Parle regionally. The regional campaign “Jithe story thithay Parle Marie” resonates with the quintessential Maharashtrian experiences across generations and evokes the fun and frolic nature of ‘Adda Baazi’ i.e., casual everyday gatherings.
Parle Marie has been synonymous with endless tea-time conversations and rituals among Indians of every age group. The ad films are tailored to connect with the culture of Maharashtra, capturing everyday tete-a-tete in close-knit communities. The ad film depicting a mother and daughter bonding moment uses a play on a local Marathi proverb like ‘Gharogharimatichya chuli’ and introduces a modern take ‘Gharoghari fashionable muli’ to bridge the gap between generations. The Matheran-based film showcases the traditional Marathi Powada i.e., poetry used for a modern-day proposal while the Anniversary film shows a lively discussion amongst women on their dream gift involving Narayanpethi, Nauvari, and Paithani sarees. The films beautifully marry the archetypal Maharashtrian stories to give them a modern twist.
Speaking about the campaign, Mayank Shah, Sr. Category Head at Parle Products said, “Parle Products as a brand has its roots deeply embedded in cities and rural areas alike and as we grow in new regions, we want our communications to be reflective of the people’s traditions, way of life and the local spirit. Every Indian has their own way of jibing, bonding, and internal-puns, which is very much coincidental to their way of living and culture.
This campaign has been tailored keeping in mind the Maharashtrian way of life-enhancing cultural codes and traditions of Maharashtra. This will make consumers relate and bond with the brand. All the films unfold over warm moments of enjoying the biscuit with friends and family, with beautiful stories woven in between bites of Marie.
We are hoping to connect with the consumers in a deeper and meaningful way and make Parle Marie an inseparable part of Gupshup and Baatchit.”
Parle Marie has an established footprint across India and now the iconic brand is set to share localized films for the biscuit in other vital markets. By targeting multiple generations to showcase the true spirit of the local people and their cultures, Parle Products aims to achieve success in different regions with focused campaigns for customers.
