Pizza Hut's new film highlights aroma of its pan pizzas

Pizza Hut is back with a new film for millennial netizens that will be launched exclusively on digital platforms. The film is fun and light-hearted, highlighting the ‘aroma’ of Pizza Hut’s pan pizzas that precedes their superlative taste, as the ultimate pull factor.

Aimed at breaking the clutter when it comes to a predictable QSR category advertising, Pizza Hut will use the potent combination of humour-based content, delivered innovatively via digital platforms to reach and engage audiences like never before. Given the brand focus on delivery channel in 2019, the film also highlights Wow Delivery 50% off, an everyday value offering on Pizza Hut delivery channel, wherein a consumer can avail 50% off on any two medium pan pizzas.

The film is conceptualised by Ogilvy India team, made by Firecracker Entertainment and directed by Vishal Mangalorkar.

Prashant Gaur, Chief Brand and Customer Officer, Pizza Hut India Subcontinent, said, “Taste is the biggest driver in our category and we take pride in serving the best, the freshest and the tastiest pizzas to all the pizza lovers in the country. We wanted to make a fun film that highlights the distinctive aroma of Pizza Hut pan pizzas in an interesting way. This ad not only achieves that objective, but also enhances it with the element of a surprising twist at the end, that successfully piques viewers’ interest and makes it memorable. We hope our differentiated content strategy and digital push will spur conversations around the film amongst netizens. This is a first of many more films we will be launching going forward, given that millennial audiences are highly invested when it comes to consuming video content online.”

Pizza Hut is planning a range of innovative digital promotions to create buzz around the film launch online. The promotions will invite audiences to be a part of the fun and give a further momentum to the campaign.

Kapil Arora, President, Ogilvy Group Companies, North, said about the film, “What’s the precursor to a lip-smacking, delicious pizza from Pizza Hut? It’s irresistible aroma! One which entices your taste buds, in anticipation of the treat to come. We decided to dramatise that very enticing aroma of the tastiest pizzas, in this campaign. Taking on stereotypical, fake deodorant and toothpaste attraction stories, we contrasted the magnetic pull of irresistible pizzas from Pizza Hut at a fabulous price as the real deal.”
