GRAND: #BRINGBACK2011 OREO INDIA LEO BURNETT INDIA, MUMBAI MONDELEZ INTERNATIONAL FOODS PVT LTD, MUMBAI
Oreo kept India stay playful with 15 cricket themed embossed cookies along with an attractive limited-edition packaging to help billions of fans cheer along during the matches. The campaign, though, had a playful twist. It began with MS Dhoni’s surprise press conference that left viewers and media surprised. The video begins with MS Dhoni walking onto the podium dressed in an OREO jersey with his signature 2011 hairdo and introducing OREO in India for the ‘first’ time. While this raises eyebrows amongst the media, he goes ahead and explains the connection of OREO and 2011, implying that to create history, we need to recreate 2011 history to win the 2022 Cup. Hence, #BringBack2011
