Hippo | Fight Hunger | India

Indian food and beverage company, Parle Agro, has launched a mass advertising campaign for its snack brand Hippo, launched last year, through independent agency Creativeland Asia.

Hippo | Fight Hunger | India
Since its launch, the brand has mainly focused on below-the-line activities.

The new TV campaign, titled ‘fight hunger’, is based on the theme ‘make love, not war’. The commercial looks at various issues prevalent in today’s society, including war, politics and child labour. The brand’s mascot, a hippo, will spread the love by delivering the snack across India. The online part of the campaign will be activated soon.

"Its a universal truth that an empty stomach is the devil’s workshop,” said Sajan Raj Kurup, chief creative officer at Creativeland Asia. “The insight became a lot more relevant on probing deep into the Indian culture. Food is a fantastic way of calming people down,” he added.
