One video that can change india’s future
Friday, August 18th, 2006Buried
Wednesday, August 16th, 2006I walk back

Nice little jingle with a brilliant brand extension ad campaign for Happydent White chewing gum in India. Hatts off to Mr Prasoon Joshi and his team and I think the company took a risk (that seems to be paying off well) by bringing out an ad like this in the indian market. Haven’t watched the ad yet?
