Ram Bandhu ropes in Madhuri Dixit to endorse its pickle and papad product range with the campaign "Aapka Taste Partner"

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 19 (ANI/NewsVoir): One of the fastest growing FMCG companies, Empire Spices and Foods Ltd. (ESFL) popular for its flagship brand Ram Bandhu has roped in superstar Madhuri Dixit-Nene as their brand ambassador for their pickle and papad product range to promote its products across offline and online mediums.
The partnership is expected to provide a revered face to the brand's philosophy as the actor personifies the brand's ethos of quality and innovation which have been the pillars of the brand's success in the pursuit of culinary ecstasy over the years.
The latest campaign "Aapka Taste Partner" encapsulates the wide range of pickle & papad variants to win a coveted space in the target consumer's mind in a very simple and effective manner. The association with the actor comes at a time when the company is on a mission to expand its business and is reaching out to new markets. The company offers a wide range of products used in daily household consumption by the masses like pickles, papads, spices, ketchup, sauces, pastes and chutneys.
Hemant Rathi (Chairman, ESFL) shared, "Our presence is spreading across India and this endorsement will help our brand to connect better with the users in both urban and rural areas. We wanted our brand ambassador for our pickle and papad categories to be someone who represents our target consumer group aptly, and who better than Madhuri Dixit Nene who is a working mother in her personal life and a well-known Bollywood actress who is popular across India, and even across generations, and overseas as well with a robust image just like our brand." The campaign is supported by a 360-degree approach, leveraging TV, Out-of-Home, digital and social platforms.
ESFL's brand portfolio includes the brands Ram Bandhu, RBM, Temptin' and Zaiqa. These are loved by the masses for the taste, variants and convenience that they bring. The company has its presence in the markets across 12 states in India with more than half a million retail shops, a large team of field force and 1000+ distributors dedicated to supplying the best products and culinary delicacies to the consumers. The company also has been exporting products to countries like US, UK, Qatar, Dubai, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg and Bahrain.
The campaign draws its inspiration from the fact that human beings are inherently social creatures and in general value relationships over other things in life. Hence the importance of one's life partner in one's life is substantial followed by the other different types of partners like one's work partner, room partner, mischief/fun partner, business partner, travel/tripping partner, gossip partner etc.
By communicating 'Ram Bandhu' as a partner it helps to personify the brand instead of projecting it merely as a beneficial wondrous product.
Speaking about the association Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit-Nene shared, "Everyone has grown up eating pickles or achaar and it has strong memories attached to it, sometimes it's the love of a grandmother, or warmth of a mothers touch. My association with the campaign "Aapka Taste Partner" reminded me of my childhood days when eating pickles and papads were an experience in itself! I am excited to be a part of a campaign by such a respected and loved brand like Ram Bandhu."
Umesh Rathi (Managing Director, ESFL), shared "There is a huge opportunity of growth in the pickle and papad market in India. Ram Bandhu is one of the leading brands in both the papad and pickle categories across India when it comes to household consumption. We have always been believers of adapting with changing tastes, trends and technology. Our motto is "Dil jeeto har grahak ka" and our aim is to be present in every kitchen of India and become an inseparable part of the culinary setup of every household in India."
The campaign was conceptualized by Betel Leaf Communications, "Our aim was not to sell the concept but to make the concept sell the brand" explained Rishi Upadhyay, Creative Head, Betel Leaf Communications.
Anand Oberoi, Managing Director of Oberoi IBC, the Creative Producer of the TVC Campaign added, "The ad is witty, looks classy and is well-made, and establishes the point that Ram Bandhu is not just a maker of food products but is personified as an evergreen partner in the target consumer's life when it comes to matters of taste and good food."
