Cadbury 5 Star collaborates with Ogilvy India for a new ‘Do Nothing’ campaign, infusing humor into the narrative for a lighter perspective on embracing leisure.
Cadbury 5 Star ‘Do Nothing” campaign – Part 2
Cadbury 5 Star and Ogilvy India have once again joined forces to launch a whimsical “Do Nothing” campaign, adding a humorous twist to the brand’s proposition. Over the years, the chocolate brand, in collaboration with Ogilvy, has expanded on this concept through various creative endeavors. These include unique initiatives such as hijacking Google Assistant with a ‘Do Nothing Mode,’ riding the crypto trend with ‘Nothingcoin,’ executing a highly visible ad campaign with minimal budget, and most recently, establishing a ‘Nothing University’ aimed at preparing individuals for an AI-powered future. The focus is on encouraging people to embrace the art of ‘Doing Nothing’ and welcome AI rather than fearing it.
The latest advertisement, titled ‘Elevator,’ narrates the tale of an individual whose phone rings at an inconvenient moment. However, engrossed in savoring their Cadbury 5 Star, the person opts to do nothing about the interruption. Directed by Prasoon Pandey (Corcoise Films) and conceptualized by Ogilvy India, the ad brings a lighthearted touch to the brand’s messaging.
