#WELCOMEBACK MAGGI – APPIES Asia Pacific 2016 Gold Winner

#WELCOMEBACK MAGGI was another Gold winner created by McCann Worldgroup India at the APPIES Asia Pacific 2016.

In May 2015, Nestle India was hit by its worst crisis ever. Food Safety & Standards Authority of India labeled Maggi as unsafe & hazardous for consumption, resulting in a ban on selling.

With the product off shelves and an opaque view of future it was imperative that Maggi communicated with its eagerly awaiting target audience who were feeling betrayed.

Not only was the method of communication crucial but also the messaging had to be strategically perfect.

This case unfolds the story of how Maggi achieved the impossible, and regained trust among its core consumers, turning tables on its worst crisis.

Through this campaign, the key factors to notice were how Maggi acted with full transparency, using the right medium to reach out to their consumers with a disruptive and innovative approach (flash deal on “Snapdeal”).

These led to the successful re-launch of Maggi among its loyal consumers, thus boosting the brands image even further.

The campaign was presented by McCann Worldgroup India’s Chief Strategy Officer Jitendar Dabas and Strategic Planning Director Vibha Gupta.
