Given the unprecedented times, health and hygiene has become very important for our consumers, and they are looking up to their trusted snacking brands for nourishment and well-being.

Bournvita Crunchy brings together the best of our global category expertise and innovation with these local insights and experience.

Our endeavor has always been to provide unique eat experiences and a broad range of product offerings to our consumers – from indulgent to wholesome. Our latest launch – Bournvita Crunchy, is in line with this commitment, and we’re confident that this wholesome product with provide our consumers with a ‘guilt-free’ snacking experience.”

Bournvita Crunchy will be yet another addition to the ‘better for you’ product from Mondelez India, which includes products like Cadbury Dairy Milk – 30% less sugar, Bournvita biscuits, various portion control home treat packs. Bournvita Crunchy is priced at Rs 30 for a tray pack (100 gms) and Rs 60 for a carton pack of 200 gms.

The launch will be supported with a high-decibel integrated marketing campaign, including a TVC, in line with Bournvita Biscuits’ much-loved proposition – ‘no more excuses’. Conceptualized by Ogilvy, the TVC funnily breaks down the label of wholesome snacks being boring and reiterates that one can focus on their well-being without compromising on the taste by letting consumers know that ‘ab badon ke bhi bahane khatam’.

Commenting on the TVC, Akshay Seth, Group creative director, Ogilvy India, and Chinmay Raut, senior creative director, Ogilvy India, said, “In today’s times, the emphasis on healthy eating has increased manifold. But adults, like children, are equally fussy about healthy eating. The Bournvita Biscuits Crunchy launch gives the brand proposition of #NoMoreExcuses a new dimension by highlighting the child-like behavior adults exhibit at the mention of wholegrain and how they do a U-turn when they realize that healthy can be tasty.”
