Parle Products, renowned for its flagship biscuit brand Parle-G, has once again captured the imagination of its audience. Building on the success of its 2022 ‘G Maane Genius’ campaign, Parle-G has launched a series of innovative, bite-sized films. These 15-second stories, crafted by Thought Blurb Communications, are a testament to the brand’s commitment to redefining the concept of genius through the lens of empathy and compassion in children.
Simplicity and Emotion: The Heart of the Campaign
The new campaign takes a minimalist approach, focusing on everyday scenarios that resonate with children and adults alike. The genius lies in the simplicity of these narratives, where children are seen interacting with parents, friends, and loved ones, showcasing their innate empathy. The tagline, ‘Genius wohi, jo auron ke khushi mein paye apni khushi,’ beautifully encapsulates this ethos, emphasizing joy in the happiness of others.
Empathy: The Core of Parle-G’s Message
Mayank Shah, Vice President – Marketing at Parle, highlights the campaign’s underlying philosophy. “Young children possess an effortless capacity for empathy, akin to a higher intelligence or genius,” he explains. This campaign aims to celebrate and nurture this natural inclination towards kindness and understanding.
Innovative Storytelling in a Compact Format
Vinod Kunj, Founder and CCO of Thought Blurb Communications, and Renu Somani, National Creative Director, share insights into their creative process. The challenge was to convey complex emotions and relationships within the constraints of a 15-second format. The team’s approach was to eschew traditional storytelling methods, focusing instead on concise yet powerful narratives that effectively communicate the campaign’s message.
