Parle Products launches its new Ad Campaign for ‘Kaccha Mango Bite’

~ Amitabh Bachchan on board as Brand Ambassador ~

December, 2013: Parle Products, India’s largest biscuit, confectionery and snacks manufacturer has roped in Amitabh Bachchan yet again as the brand ambassador for its confectionary brand Kaccha Mango Bite. The brand owns the taste by positioning it as an exact copy of a raw mango – “Kacche Aam ka Xerox”.

The TVC is inspired by childhood playfulness where Mr. Bachchan throws a stone towards a mango tree. Aiming at some raw mangoes, he misses and the stone breaks a glass window. The owner of the house, a middle-aged lady – comes running out and is surprised to see Mr. Bachchan. He apologetically replies that he was reminded of his childhood and couldn’t control himself after spotting raw mangoes trees. The lady then calls out to her son and asks him to bring Raw Mangoes. The kid brings out Parle Kaccha Mango Bite candies and Mr. Bachchan enjoys them.

The taste of a raw mango is very unique and strong, an essence that blends perfectly with Amitabh Bachchan’s enigmatic image and persona. While Kaccha Mango Bite has always been popular with kids, the objective of its ad campaign is to make Kaccha Mango Bite popular among adults by making a strong connect with their childhood.

Mr. Shalin Desai, Group Product Manager, Parle Products said, “Kaccha Mango is popular for its flavor and well established amongst our target audience. The tantalizing Khatta-Meetha taste of raw mango is a favorite amongst children as well as adults. Mr. Bachchan has a magnificent personality and a strong connect among Indians across age groups. He embodies an exemplary blend of both style and performance, making him the ideal choice to endorse our products. The goodwill and reputation he has built over the last 3 decades compliments our own, built over the last 8 decades. His remarkable appeal which spreads across all sections of people in the country, compliments our brand communication."

Commenting on his association with Parle, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan said, “Parle has always been the most loved brand in the country amongst all age groups and we have a nostalgic connection with the brand.  I am thrilled to be a part of Parle’s new campaign.”

The candy is currently available at 50 paise per piece in pouch packs as well as jars across stores in India. Ideal to relive the wonderful memories with the latest ‘Kaccha Mango Bite’ from Parle Products!
