About Maggi
Maggi is one of India’s most loved food brands. In Northeast India, the brand wanted to connect with school students through fun, interactive quizzes held right in their schools.
Why it matters: Food habits form early, so a fun school programme builds a bond with Maggi that lasts for years.
The challenge
Maggi wanted to reach students in a way that feels real, not like another ad. Young audiences ignore most advertising, so the brand needed to show up inside campus life.
How we delivered campus promotion for Maggi
We used our campus network to plan activations school by school and college by college, with permissions, timings and trained promoters arranged in advance. Student ambassadors helped make the brand part of fests, hostels and classrooms.
Every activation was designed to move students from the campus to the brand online, through contests, sampling, QR codes, hashtags and user-generated content. Our team shared photo-verified reports so the brand could see exactly what happened on the ground.
For Maggi, the work covered quizes in schools.
