  4. What does CDM stand for world-wide?

  5. Brand Promise Cadbury Dairy Milk is the most delicious, best tasting chocolate. A moment of pure magic. CDM is Chocolate

  6. Brand Character Cadbury Dairy Milk encapsulates an enormous breath of emotions, from shared values such as family togetherness (fun, wholesome, reliable), to the personal values of individual enjoyment. It stands for goodness.

  7. The Indian Chapter

  8. The Challenge • Get people accustomed to chocolates- primarily seen as a western taste • Do so by reaching out to the masses in a land where mindsets and preferences are as diverse as the country itself

  9. CDM in the 80’s • Brand was considered as a surrogate of parental affection for their children • The chocolate goodness (appetite appeal) was being harnessed

  10. The Expression CDM positioned as ‘The perfect expression of parental love’ ‘Sometimes a Cadbury can say it better than words’

  11. 1980 TVC

  12. Category audits in early 1990’s • Chocolate are meant for kids only • Seen as an indulgence product • Negative associations • Too much was bad • Bad for health

  13. Key Issue With communication consciously addressing kids, consumption also got restricted within the same segment resulting in brand stagnation

  14. Marketing Challenge To expand the consumer base by making CDM aspirational and desirable to the adult segment

  15. The Unshackling of CDM in 1994

  16. Communication Task To increase category relevance, give consumers a taste of life the Cadbury Dairy Milk way - real, fun and free. Integrate the "real" chocolate of Cadbury Dairy Milk to "real" feelings.

  17. What was the consumer saying?? Extensive brand audits on the consumer pulse revealed that Cadbury Dairy Milk moments were spontaneous, carefree, special, real moments. So, what if these ‘moments’ were brought back to life even for adults?

  18. The atmosphere at that time… The new resurgent India. The era of globalization had sowed the seeds of ‘I wanna break free’ syndrome Avenues for freedom for expression were more than welcome

  24. In 1997 • Hurdles at a competitive level • Launch of Kit Kat which was considered as young, trendy, future, exciting, smart • Threat from imported premium moulded brands like Lindt, Ritter, Van Houten

  25. In 1997 • Hurdles at the communication level • “Real Taste of Life Campaign” cut ice with the metro audience, • The barriers of Middle/Bottom end consumers still remained to be addressed • As a result, brand growth rate was slower than the chocolate market growth

  26. What next??? The “Indianisation” of the brand To increase width of consumption by entering the Indian mind-space - Make CDM part of Indian customs and mores

  27. What next??? CDM to be the Real Taste of Everyone's Life.
