Ice-cream brand Magnum, along with BBH India, has brought to life the colour of the season with its 'Brown Is In' campaign by highlighting the rich, luxurious Belgian chocolate credentials through chic execution. The brand commercial, shot in Bucharest, Romania , features glamorous guests who find luscious drops of rich chocolate falling onto them, gradually turning their attire and all that it comes in contact with, into Brown - the iconic colour of Magnum ice- cream. The film ends with the twist by the brand's Pleasure Ambassador, Kareena Kapoor, while she is dipping a vanilla ice- cream into a cauldron of rich, Belgian chocolate.
Russell Barrett, Managing Partner, BBH India, said, “Working on Magnum has been a fantastic opportunity. Besides all that sampling, there's also the privilege of working on one of the most iconic ice-cream brands in the world. We hope to have created a film that will engage the audience through the fashionably cool idea of 'Brown is in'. This film is a labour of love, creatively led by Rajesh Mani and his team along with Razy and his very capable production house.”
Razneesh Ghai, the film's Director, said, “The idea of marrying chocolate with the world of fashion was enough for me to take on this project. Being the launch film for Magnum in India we had to make an impressive spot that would leave a mark. A great crew, a remarkable location, interesting characters and with the graceful Kareena Kapoor, we had the basics in place. The rest was just meticulous planning and execution.”
