Fanta - India campaign

Adapting a global brand for India
Tasked with localizing Fanta’s global campaign, we proposed a bold, culturally resonant concept tailored to the Indian market. Encouraged by the Fanta marketing team, we created a five-second test video that showcased the quality and creativity of our approach. This proof of concept secured the buy-in needed for full-scale production, marking a shift towards a campaign deeply rooted in Indian cultural sensibilities.

Bringing cultural nuances to life

The campaign integrated regional elements, drawing inspiration from the vibrant motifs of Indian cinema, including superhero narratives that resonate with local audiences. These culturally relevant touches added energy and vibrancy to the story, fostering a stronger emotional connection with South Asian audiences. The result was a narrative that made Fanta more relatable and approachable in the region.

Seamlessly blending local and global

In collaboration with Ogilvy Delhi, we designed new characters and concepts that captured the unique dynamism of South Asia while remaining true to Fanta’s global identity. This initiative not only set a benchmark for blending localized storytelling with international branding but also reinforced Coca-Cola’s confidence in the power of region-specific adaptations to enhance brand equity.

A lasting impact
The Fanta India campaign became one of the most successful animated brand films in India, fondly remembered by audiences to this day. It strengthened Fanta’s connection with Indian consumers and showcased the brand’s commitment to embracing creative innovation that aligns with cultural nuances.
