Havmor Ice Cream Unveils Quirky Brand Campaign for Mother’s Day

India’s favorite ice cream brand, Havmor, has come up with a fun filled digital brand campaign celebrating the precious bond between mother and daughter on this Mother’s Day. In this campaign, ‘Let us celebrate the kid in our Mothers’, the brand has taken a funny and entertaining route to convey the message. A mother is a superhero who fulfills all the desires and protects her children from all the troubles. She stands solid as a rock for her kids and there is no tougher job than being a mother. With this digital film, Havmor wants to bring the child out of every mother which they have lost somewhere in the journey of life. The ad will be launched on YouTube and other online channels on 9th May 2020.

Contrary to other Mother’s Day campaigns, this ad film is completely different from the usual play of portraying mothers in an emotional avatar. Instead, it focuses on the fun part of it where the ad beautifully features a mother doing craziest things around her daughter and enjoying every moment of it. The thought and idea of the digital film has been conceptualized by Story Code who have worked closely with the digital agency Windchimes Communications to bring the idea to life.
