This campaign highlights the win-win equation between mother and child, where they learn and grow together. Buddy parenting makes way for some unforgettable moments between mother and child and through ‘Khuljaye Bachpan’, kids and mothers have a symbiotic, fun relationship over Chocos which enables the child to unlock happiness in their childhood. The campaign motivates mothers to nurture intimate, fun relationships with their kids throughout their childhood. Parents in India predominantly push their kids to excel, nurturing a childhood that is full of fear and insecurities. Tiger Moms believe that parenting is a game of one upmanship and that moms know best. Kellogg’s Chocos as a fun moment creator for moms to bond with their kids, believes that ‘Buddy moms’ foster a relationship of equals with their children thus allowing them to unlock their true potential by exploring life. Buddy moms nurture interdependent relationships with their children from a young age and these relationships are fostered on trust and security. Speaking about this initiative, Harpreet Singh Tibb, Director of Marketing, Kellogg India said, “Our new campaign “Khuljaye Bachpan” is built on the insight that parent-kid relationships have now evolved into a relationship of equals. Parents learn from the kid as much as they teach them. Kellogg’s Chocos is kid loved and mom approved because of its chocolaty taste and roti-like benefits. It creates those precious moments where the mother and kid bond. These moments create a happy and memorable childhood, a childhood that is uninhibited and allows the kid to discover the joy of growing up. Chocos as a brand celebrates uninhibited childhood and over the next few months we will be creating many such platforms that allow mom and kids to bond better.” The campaign TVC features brand ambassador Juhi Chawla portraying the role of a buddy mom to her kid. She shares a friendly equation with her son who has just lost in a video game and boosts his confidence by saying that “Harna jeetna is all part of the game”. The TVC then reveals an interesting twist that he has lost the game against his mother, played by Juhi, and she has learnt all the moves from him! It reiterates that Kellogg’s Chocos creates moments of happiness, where mother and child learn fun things together. Sneha will promote the campaign through a TVC in the South. The TVC will be supported by 20 second testimonials by celebrity moms sharing their ‘Khuljaye Bachpan’ moments with their kids. Viewers will also witness celebrity moms inviting real life stories from mothers bonding with their kids. Viewers will be encouraged to share their own ‘Khuljaye Bachpan’ stories, which will then be recognized by the brand through gratifications. Commenting on the latest campaign, Nandita Chalam, Vice President & Executive Creative Director, JWT said, “Modern parenting is all about letting children have an uninhibited childhood. Our new campaign philosophy for Kellogg’s Chocos reflects this – ‘Khuljaye Bachpan.’ We brought this alive by showing a new trend in families – today, it’s not just children who learn from their parents but parents also learn a lot from their children. As part of this campaign, Juhi Chawla invites other parents to share such stories of learning from each other. Digital and activation legs of the campaign are all built around the same thought of ‘Khuljaye Bachpan’.” The campaign is an integrated promotion campaign comprising of amplification across TV, digital and on-ground to engage with mothers and children.

In tradition with its commitment to nutrition and constant endeavour to Indianize its offerings with relevant taste options, Kellogg delves deeper into the Indian palate with this new flavour that is customized for South Indians and those who enjoy South Indian cuisine. Addressing the increasing relevance of healthy foods, based on the lifestyle demands of Indians, Kellogg aims at providing the perfect combination of health and taste with this new variant. Simply Pongal replicates the popular, regional dish ‘Pongal’ of South India with the primary component as oats, including moong dal and indigenous flavours of cumin, pepper and curry leaves. Commenting on the launch, Sangeeta Pendurkar, Managing Director, Kellogg India said, “The endeavour at Kellogg’s has been to drive innovation that helps us provide consumers with food that delights them, without compromising on nutrition. Consumers today are keen to experiment and adopt new food habits which have been triggered by urbanization and increasing disposable incomes. Lifestyle choices amongst Indians have aligned towards healthier options which promise taste and health. In our constant endeavor to Indianize offerings, Kellogg India has taken the onus of customizing an Indian recipe and replicating the popular rice dish ‘Pongal’ to offer a unique oats flavour- Simply Pongal.” She added, “The size of the oats category in India is about Rs. 200 Cr. and the savoury oats segment within oats has seen double digit growth in India. Leveraging this opportunity, we decided to launch Simply Pongal, which is an addition to our earlier flavours of Tomato Salsa and Green Pudina.” Oats has long been recommended by doctors to patients with heart conditions; however taste was a significant barrier which restricted consumption of the grain amongst Indians otherwise. While people desire healthier options, they are not keen on compromising taste and hence they seek options that promise both taste and nutrition. Kellogg recognizes the diversity of the country and has taken this step to deliver a region specific flavour. Oats are high in fibre and provide the heart-friendly soluble fibre beta glucan that is known to help manage cholesterol. Kellogg’s Oats Simply Pongal has 69.2% oats as the primary ingredient. The product will be supported by above-the-line promotions as well as in-store promotions and sampling. Kellogg’s Oats- Simply Pongal variant is now available in sachets of 39gm priced at Rs. 15 per pack.

In 2013, Kellogg India supported the ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’ which showed that 1 in 4 Indians claim to skip breakfast and a whopping 72% have a nutritionally inadequate breakfast. Post this revelation, Kellogg’s embarked on the Power of Breakfast Initiative with the intent of spreading the awareness about the importance of breakfast among Indians. In January 2014, Kellogg India launched the Kellogg’s Breakfast Pledge initiative. This initiative called upon people through various touch points to take a pledge to eat breakfast every day; with every pledge, Kellogg’s would gift a breakfast to a child. This was successfully culminated by partnering with United Way of Mumbai (UWM). 400,000 Indians unitedly pledged their support and the company delivered on its commitment, by gifting 400,000 breakfasts to children in the cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. The breakfast consisted of a pack of Kellogg’s Anaaj Ka Naashta and a Tetra Pak of milk along with a bowl and spoon. Reinforcing this exercise, an educational module on the importance of breakfast was also included to highlight meal skipping and inadequate food intake particularly at breakfast time. Speaking about this initiative, Sangeeta Pendurkar, Managing Director, Kellogg India said, “In line with our vision of creating a healthier nation, it is our responsibility to ensure that young India gets the right start to their day with a nutritionally adequate breakfast. A balanced breakfast is imperative to growth and performance, and this is just a start to our commitment of encouraging the nation to adopt a habit of eating balanced breakfast every day. We hope we have made a difference with the gifting of 400,000 breakfasts to children and are grateful to Indians for believing in the Power of Breakfast and pledging their support for this initiative. Besides advocating the importance of breakfast, at Kellogg we have been building the goodness of grains as part of a balanced breakfast through our communication ‘Anaaj Ka Naashta, a solid start for you’.” Jayanti Shukla, Executive Director, United Way of Mumbai (UWM) said, “It has been very heartening to partner with Kellogg India to spread the ‘Power of Breakfast’ message among children. This initiative also helped them appreciate the significance of starting the day on a healthy note with a nourishing breakfast. We have seen a significant creation of awareness amongst children in schools across India and hope this initiative will go a long way in helping Indians understand the importance of a nutritionally adequate breakfast.” Breakfast consumption in children is associated with improved memory performance, attention, ability in problem solving, comprehension during reading and listening. Nutritionists believe that breakfast should provide essential nutrients like protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals besides energy. Breakfast should consist of foods from at least three essential food groups (e.g. one serve of grain group, one serve of dairy group and one serve of fruit group). http://breakfastwithkellogg.in/ About Kellogg Company In India, Kellogg is primarily focused on educating the Indian consumers about the importance of breakfast cereal by driving the ‘goodness of cereal’ agenda.

Post the 2 Week Challenge campaign, Kellogg’s Special K brings ‘No More Excuses’ to sustain the momentum of one’s weight management journey. This campaign has been born out of the insight that today’s woman is constantly trying to fulfill her duties as a wife, daughter, mother or professional. Kellogg’s Special K aims to inspire these women towards reclaiming their lives. The ‘No More Excuses’ campaign highlights a woman’s weight concerns and inspires her to keep her weight management journey on track through the new-found confidence in herself. The TVC for this motivational campaign features brand ambassador Deepika Padukone who effectively drives the importance of everyday weight management through the ‘No More Excuses’ theme. Deepika motivates her friends to overcome their excuses and start managing weight by eating breakfast everyday like low fat Kellogg’s Special K. In the TVC, Deepika is unwinding at a salon, along with her friends and plans a summer dress shopping spree. When her friends say that they don’t have the right shape to carry off a dress, she shares her new mantra of ‘No More Excuses’ and inspires them to get on the weight management journey. The film ends with both her friends emerging from the trial room wearing stunning summer dresses, with style and confidence, bringing to life the ‘No More Excuses’ theme. This campaign will boost communication across key platforms such as digital media, print and television. For the first time ever, Kellogg’s has associated with Femina to engage with women through co-created content. The campaign will leverage both Kellogg’s and Femina’s digital assets. Through the first phase of the campaign, Kellogg’s Special K and Femina engaged with women by asking them to share the most creative excuse they’ve given to get back to various aspects of life like shopping, gymming, dancing, going out, yoga, etc. and created innovative memes to bring alive the campaign idea. Besides that, Femina and Special K came together for a Google hangout, along with celebrities like Mandira Bedi and Miss India Earth 2014, Jatalika Malhotra. It was successfully steered by Femina editor, Ms. Tanya Chaitanya and Health Editor, Deepa Suryanarayan. It was an initiative where they all came together to discuss the various excuses that most women give, including celebrities and what is their mantra to get back to life. Speaking on the new campaign, brand ambassador, Deepika Padukone, says, “Weddings and family functions often act as triggers to get one started on a weight management journey. However, it is also essential to continue the journey and stay on track, stop making excuses, unleash your confident self and get back to life. ‘No More Excuses’ is a great mantra to follow and my friends are ready to imbibe this! I am confident that this campaign will definitely keep the women motivated to continue on their weight management journey.” Throwing light on the insight behind the new campaign, Harpreet Singh Tibb, Marketing Director, Kellogg India states, “The new campaign is driven from a brilliant insight, which has been cleverly executed through ‘No More Excuses’. Kellogg’s Special K strives to consistently cater to women’s weight management needs and this campaign addresses a specific need for women to prioritize themselves and give up their excuses. We are very glad to have initiated an association with Femina and will partner with women to motivate them to start and more importantly, continue their weight management journey and get back to life.” Eating breakfast can help manage weight and Kellogg’s Special K is a 98% low-fat breakfast option that as part of a low fat well-balanced diet and an active lifestyle can help manage weight.

Nandita Chalam, Vice President & Executive Creative Director of JWT who leads this campaign says, “"After crossing the age of thirty or after marriage, many women give up wearing short dresses, going dancing or doing many other things that they once loved. That's often because they are no longer confident of their weight and appearance. Yet when it comes to actually doing something about weight management, they have countless excuses for not doing anything. Our new campaign for Kellogg's Special K says. "No More Excuses. Get back to life." Deepika Padukone, known for her disciplined approach to fitness, urges her friends to stop making excuses and start making Kellogg's Special K a part of their breakfast routine.

This initiative comes soon after the company launched the ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’ as part of the Power of Breakfast initiative in August 2013, which revealed that one in four Indians claim to skip and a whopping 72% skimp or have an inadequate breakfast. Embarking on the “Kellogg's Breakfast Pledge” initiative, Kellogg endeavours to create a new generation of breakfast eaters in India by encouraging more Indian consumers to understand the importance of eating a balanced breakfast. Kellogg has helped spread the message regarding the importance of breakfast by reaching out to a large number of key stakeholders through dissemination of the findings of the 'India Breakfast Habits Study' to consumers, media and healthcare professionals. Additionally through a series of programs like the school nutrition education program and gifting breakfast to busy commuters in air-lines and radio-cabs, Kellogg has already begun the journey. As the next step in the journey towards creating the next generation of breakfast eaters, Kellogg's Breakfast Pledge initiative provides a platform to help people discover the power of breakfast. This initiative encourages people to take a pledge to have breakfast everyday. By doing so, every person will gift a breakfast to a child to help him or her discover the power of breakfast. Kellogg seeks to empower one Indian to influence or impact another Indian to discover the power of breakfast. Through each pledge, every person will gift a breakfast to a child to help him or her discover the power of breakfast. Kellogg has partnered with United Way of Mumbai, to reach out to children in schools for gifting breakfasts. Several children today go to schools with an empty stomach and therefore through this initiative Kellogg would like them to discover the power of breakfast. Given that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, Kellogg's felt it necessary to help 'create the habit' with the Kellogg's Breakfast Pledge. Brand ambassadors Juhi Chawla and Sakshi Tanwar actively supported the initiative and invited people to take the Breakfast Pledge along with them. Speaking on this, Sangeeta Pendurkar, Managing Director, Kellogg India, says, “Kellogg India is committed to nurturing a healthy India through consumer education, consumer relevant innovation and a strong nutrition agenda. The Kellogg's Breakfast Pledge is the next step in our journey towards improving the breakfast eating habits of Indian consumers. While we have already begun the journey with half a million people; through the Kellogg’s Breakfast Pledge, we seek to encourage many more Indians to recognize the importance of breakfast and to partner Kellogg in this journey and empower them to influence many more to discover the power of breakfast. The ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’ revealed that several people today either skip or skimp breakfast and several children are going to school on an empty stomach and therefore miss on the much needed nutrients. Through the Breakfast Pledge initiative, Kellogg would like to address this and create a generation of breakfast eaters in India. We simply want to encourage more Indians to take one pledge and gift one breakfast.” Jayanti Shukla, Executive Director, United Way of Mumbai, said, “We constructively engage the corporate sector into meaningful social responsibility structures enabling a positive and lasting change in the communities they operate in. We are delighted to partner with Kellogg's on the Breakfast Pledge initiative. We are working very closely with the teams to ensure the gifting of breakfast is carried out in an effective manner”. Reaching out directly to 200,000 children in schools, consumers at retail touch points and through an integrated print, radio and digital strategy, Kellogg aims to drive home the importance of breakfast while also creating the habit through this impactful initiative. 1 in 4 Indians claim to skip, 72% skimp and only 3% regard breakfast as essential Indians racing ahead but are the foundations strong enough to support their future? Kellogg’s reveals startling insights into breakfast eating habits of Indians through it’s one of a kind breakfast study‘India Breakfast Habits Study’- A study that shows alarming figures of nutritional inadequacy in our country th 26 August, Mumbai: Over the years numerous studies have shown that eating breakfast has many health benefits versus skipping, and that nutritionists agree it is the most important meal of the day. And, grains have been at the heart of an Indian breakfast. Yet despite that, 1 in 4 (around 300 million*) Indians claim to be missing it. .Given today’s fast paced life, Indians are increasingly undermining the importance of a wellbalanced breakfast. Kellogg India, the Indian subsidiary of Kellogg Company, world's leading producer of ready-to-eat cereal and convenience foods, today released ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’ conducted across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. The study examines eating behaviour at breakfast and the contribution to nutrient intakes from breakfast. The research was led by investigator Dr. Malathi Sivaramkrishnan, Research Director, Research Centre, College of Home Science, Nirmala Niketan, Mumbai. With people increasingly becoming health conscious, they have now realized the importance of staying fit and eating healthy. However, the long term effects of eating a nourishing breakfast are being overlooked. The study reveals interesting facts about breakfast consumption patterns among Indians and the attitudes and perceptions towards breakfast. It highlights that many Indians claim to either skip breakfast often or are skimping breakfast (eating a nutritionally-inadequate one). There were glaring gaps in the nutrients provided through breakfast and the recommended nutrient intake as per the Recommended Dietary Allowances for Indians. ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’- Hard Facts Breakfast – is it an important meal of the day for Indians? 1 in 4 Indians claim to skip breakfast Whopping 72% skimp by having a nutritionally inadequate meal Only 3% regard breakfast as essential part of the day Are fast paced Indians slowing down on the most important meal of the day?

Of all four cities, the nutrient profile of breakfast is best in Chennai while that of the day’s diet is the best in Delhi. Speaking about the study, Dr. Malathi Sivaramkrishnan said, “I am proud to be associated with Kellogg India for such an eye opening study. Although people in India are increasingly becoming health conscious, this does not reflect in their eating behaviour. Changing lifestyles and behavioural patterns result in meal skipping or inadequate food intakes particularly at breakfast time. The absence of a wholesome and nutritionally balanced breakfast is noticeable amongst all age groups; it is time India woke up to nutritionally balanced diets and particularly, to a healthy breakfast. It's heartening to see a company like Kellogg India spearhead such initiatives to drive home the importance of a healthy breakfast.” Commenting on this initiative, Sangeeta Pendurkar, Managing Director, Kellogg India said: “Kellogg’s has been in the Indian market for about 18 years now and we are pleased to release our ‘India Breakfast Habits Study’. Good nutrition lies at the heart of our company and through the insightful findings of the study we hope to empower people to make informed choices as we reaffirm the importance of consuming an adequate breakfast with the goodness of grains every day.” Extensive research from across the globe reveals undisputed benefits of breakfast. Breakfast eaters, especially those who have cereal for breakfast, have higher intakes of fibre, calcium, iron, zinc, B group vitamins and vitamins A, C, E; have lower Body Mass Index and often have healthier body weights and are less predisposed to overweight and obesity. Breakfast consumption in children is associated with improved memory performance, attention, ability in problem solving, comprehension during reading and listening. Nutritionists believe that breakfast should provide essential nutrients like protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals besides energy. Breakfast should consists of foods from at least three essential food groups (e.g. one serve of grain group, one serve of dairy group and one serve of fruit group). Reinforcing Kellogg's legacy of promoting health, this study continues the company's effort to urge people to realize the importance of a nutritionally adequate breakfast. *Basis the latest demographic report, July 2013 For more information on the ‘Power of Breakfast’, visit http://www.powerofbreakfast.in/ Kellogg’s Chocos signs on celebrity mother Juhi Chawla as its new brand ambassador Juhi Chawla to endorse Kellogg’s Chocos in an exciting new commercial Mumbai, February 28th, 2013: Kellogg’s Chocos, the popular kids’ cereal, takes on board the much loved Bollywood actress, Juhi Chawla as its brand ambassador.

The campaign reiterates the fact that making a small change will ultimately lead to big compliments. As part of the strategy, women were urged to modify their lifestyles through eating breakfast daily, having healthy well balanced meals and leading an active lifestyle.

Winning the gold award at the PMAA 'The Dragons of Asia' 2012 is indeed a great honour and we humbly accept this achievement with the aspiration to keep bettering ourselves. We are proud to see an immediate impact with the sales jumping up sharply when the campaign broke. The communication was an integrated approach with different mediums playing pivotal roles in strengthening the brand proposition. Riding on the insight that compliments from her loved ones are what keep her going and encourage her on her weight management journey, the strategy remained focused on the ultimate pay-off of looking and feeling good.” Speaking on the TVC for the campaign, Nandita Chalam, Vice President & Executive Creative Director, JWT says, “Lara Dutta was seen as the perfect personification of the brand’s values and identity. Having a sound philosophy of healthy eating and exercising herself, she played the ideal motivator for women across the country as they related to her giving her the status of a role-model. The TVC created a strong emotional connect and positioned Special K as an everyday weight management partner.
