ITC Candyman has unveiled a new digital film for Candyman Fruitee Fun Soft Chews. The DVC, conceptualized by Ulka, unfolds around a truck carrying Candyman goodies that is interrupted by kangaroo ‘toll keepers’ demanding Candyman in exchange for passage.
What follows is a whimsical chain of surreal, imagination-led twists, culminating in a fun reveal that highlights the irresistible appeal of Candyman Soft Chews while bringing alive the brand’s core proposition. The film closes with the brand sign-off: ‘Candyman Fruitee Fun – Chewy, Juicy, Fruity Fun. Kuch Bhi Karega for Candyman.’
Subash Balar, vice president and Business Head – Chocolates, Coffee and Confectionery & NCD, Foods Division, ITC said, “While the confectionery category in India continues to be largely taste-led, we are seeing a growing importance of experience, especially among younger consumers. With this new film for Candyman Fruity Fun Soft Chews, we wanted to bring alive the brand’s playful world through a narrative that is imaginative, interactive, and rooted in fun. The campaign builds on our ‘Kuch Bhi Karega for Candyman!’ proposition, using storytelling to deepen engagement and make the brand more relatable for kids.”
Rakesh Menon, chief creative officer, Ulka, “With Fruitee Fun Soft Chews, we wanted to build a world where imagination takes over reality. The idea was to create a narrative that feels unpredictable, playful, and full of delightful twists, much like the product itself.”
With Candyman Soft Chews, ITC Foods addresses a broader behavioural shift in confectionery, from being purely taste-led to increasingly experience-led.
