The product’s fruitiness lends a sense of mischief which has been integrated with the brand purpose in the TVC. The launch would be supported with a 360 degree campaign across traditional, digital mediums ,sampling and modern trade activation.”
Speaking on the TVC, Mr. Kapil Batra, ECD and Creative Head, McCann – New Delhi said “Alpenliebe, has always been about fun and family.
