Peek Freans Cake Up, a brand of English Biscuit Manufacturers, recently won Pakistan’s first ever Effie Award in the Snacks and Desserts category.
The marketing campaign titled ‘Real Goodness Inside’ was curated last year after EBM’s venture into the new Food between Meals category – Cakes. The campaign titled ‘Real Rishtey’, featured a mother juggling various responsibilities, yet still finding the time to teach her son valuable life lessons with the help of a sweet little treat—Cake Up. The message, due to its high emotional appeal, touched the hearts of millions. The tagline, ‘Real Rishtey’, successfully managed to communicate the brand’s message; nourishment of human emotions are a culmination of small moments of togetherness. The campaign designed to show the importance and purity of the bond of a mother and child, communicated the message clearly to its viewers.
With more than 20 million views on digital platforms, the ad also snagged one of the top spots on Google’s list of Most Popular Pakistani YouTube Ads in Asia Pacific for 2018.
Dr Zeelaf Munir, CEO EBM, expressed her joy at the accomplishment and stated, “This campaign was extremely challenging, yet it has proven to be the most successful one we’ve had the pleasure of working on.
