Cadbury Silk Valentine’s Day Campaign: #StoryOfUS
Over the years, Cadbury Silk has carved a niche for itself as the chocolate of choice for expressing love, especially on Valentine’s Day. This year’s campaign, #StoryOfUS, endeavors to spotlight the often-overlooked nuances of relationships, celebrating the small gestures, shared dreams, and mutual understanding that form the foundation of lasting love.
