Cadbury Bournvita releases 'Tayyari Jeet Ki' campaign

Cadbury Bournvita releases 'Tayyari Jeet Ki' campaign

Cadbury Bournvita, Mondelez India's nutrition brand, has unveiled a four-minute short film titled, 'The Boy Who Failed' as part of their 'Tayyari Jeet Ki' campaign. The short film showcases a family of three, a mother and her son and daughter, who return from a district-level badminton competition. The young son returns home dejected and filled with rage after evidently losing in the tournament and even though his elder sister tries to persuade him to come and practise the following day, the young boy keeps to himself and remains in his room. The mother takes the daughter for practice and the young boy looks at his mother and daughter practising and slowly regains the confidence to pick up his racquet once again. The film ends with the young boy once again returning to the court and having the courage to accept his failure and learn from it. The film ends with the message that 'there is a big difference between failing and accepting one is failure.' The film talks about how failure is one of the most important teachers on the path to success and how one must not give up due to failure but learn from it and keep moving on. The campaign will see Cadbury Bournvita also rope in athletes such as Hima Das, Ashish Kumar Chaudhary and Anahat Singh and will be showcasing their 'fighting spirit' in their upcoming adverts. The athletes will also use their social media handles to share inspiring stories about overcoming failure and learning from it, as part of the campaign.

Gatorade and NHL end partnership Sports drink brand Gatorade have announced that they will not be renewing their partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL). The announcement comes following a shift in Gatorade's sports marketing strategy. Gatorade stated that they two weren't aligned on the financial commitment to renew but confirmed that they will remain to have a presence in ice hockey. Jeff Kearney, Global Head of Sports Marketing, Gatorade, said, "The NHL has been a great partner for years, and while we weren’t aligned on the financial commitment to renew, Gatorade will continue to have a presence in hockey. 'We’ve had to be very thoughtful about where our resources, both people and funds, are going. So for us, we didn’t want to over-commit in one space, instead focusing on reaching as many athletes as we can. 'We view ourselves as both a supplier of best-in-class equipment to help the athlete and the partner, but also a partner that when we work together can make an impact. We’re just trying to move sports and our partnerships forward in that fashion, taking a different lens on all the relationships that we currently have and that we’re building in the future.” Gatorade has been a sponsor of the NHL since 2006 and most recently in 2018, Gatorade's parent company, PepsiCo and NHL have renewed their deal. Moving ahead, Gatorade have announced that they will be entering the metaverse, fantasy sports and Web3 along with strengthening their athlete roster.
