JimJam Pops - Product Launch

Entered in Integrated Campaign

Objective

Ditch the Dunk, Pop the Future

To forget the twist, the dunk, the stale routine of the past. Britannia, an Indian multinational food products company launched JimJam Pops, which isn't your average biscuit, they're the biscuit of the future, blasting past old-school limitations with 25% faster outlet expansion! This flavor portal where open, creamy goodness is waiting to be popped with just pure cream indulgence that drove a 17.42% growth in value sales and left taste buds begging for more.

Our Key Focus:

Jim Jam Pops is built for the new generation, the 16-35-year-olds who crave instant gratification and unleash flavor with a single pop. We're talking convenience with a format so futuristic, that it shattered the cream biscuit ceiling with a 1.3% market share increase in just 3 months!

So, ditch the dunk, forget the twist, and pop your way into the future. JimJam Pops are waiting to show you what a biscuit can truly be, with metrics that speak louder than any dunk. 

Strategy

We stormed the cream biscuit category with a revolutionary proposition: ditch the twist, embrace the lick, and pop straight into deliciousness. Targeting young, trendsetting NCCS A/B audiences aged 16-35, the campaign aimed to disrupt the category, drive demand, and establish a distinctive one-handed eating ritual.

Our core idea? Picture this: We ignited a full-blown revolution in the cream biscuit game by unleashing the Open Cream format—India's first of its kind. This product is so ahead of its time, we crowned it the Biscuit of the Future!

For the pre-launch, we partnered with over 500 meme pages and shared a few key visuals without revealing the brand and product name to ignite viral curiosity. Influencers like Tanmay Bhatt and Raj Shamani served as tastemakers, their early bites fueling excitement.

Digital became our playground. The DVC took inspiration from Apple ads, presenting the unveiling of the open-faced format through a tech parody, while eye-catching Instagram reels featuring "Jimmy and Jammy" characters sparked social media engagement.

The "No Twist. Just Lick. Pop." message resonated across traditional media, with a renowned Times of India print ad and a TVC showcasing effortless enjoyment starring actors Kunal Roy Kapoor and Varun Sharma.

Challenges? They were mere sprinkles on the delicious journey. Competing with established giants? JimJam Pops brought youthful audacity. Consumer resistance to change? The convenience and mess-free fun spoke for itself. Disrupting habits? The "No-Twist" call was an irresistible invitation to break free.


The results? Mouthwatering. JimJam Pops not only achieved a 10% value growth for JimJam but also redefined the cream biscuit experience. They created a loyal fan base who embraced the one-handed pop, proving that sometimes, the most delicious revolutions start with a simple lick.
