Sprite rolls out new ‘Chalo Apni Chaal’ campaign
MUMBAI: Leveraging its signature ‘ingenuity‘ and ‘sharp wit‘ to inspire the youth, Sprite is all set to unveil its integrated communication campaign for 2013 – ‘Chalo Apni Chaal‘.
The 360-degree communication campaign has been conceptualised by Ogilvy & Mather group creative director Ajay Gahlaut and directed by ad film maker, Prasoon Pandey of Corcoise films.
It features music by Dhruv Ghanekar, a founding partner of Smoke Music Productions and blueFROG.
The campaign is targeted at the youth, who want to get ahead in life by using their own ingenious and imaginative ways. ‘Chalo Apni Chaal‘ builds on the characteristic honest, no-nonsense attitude of brand Sprite; which has captured the imagination of the youth for over a decade. It urges the young minds to have a fresh approach, and think differently to achieve their goals.
Coca-Cola India VP – marketing Anupama Ahluwalia said, “Brand Sprite has always been synonymous with an honest, no-nonsense attitude. The ‘Chalo Apni Chaal‘ doctrine is for those who are confident, believe in themselves and have the inventiveness to rise up to the challenge and beat the odds. ‘Chalo Apni Chaal‘ inspires the youth to overcome challenges or tricky situations and to carve their own path using their ingenuity, humour and clear thinking”.
Ogilvy & Mather executive chairman and NCD Piyush Pandey said, “Sprite has always stood for ‘Fresh Thinking‘ and coming up with clever solutions for everyday problems. The Sprite protagonist always walks off the beaten path. In this campaign the protagonist faces multiple challenges and makes his own unique move to get through them. There is irreverence in the stories that embody the witty, intelligent attitude of the brand. I am sure the campaign will inspire the youth to ‘Chalo Apni Chaal‘.”
In addition to leveraging mass media advertising, the integrated communication plan includes roll-out of an array of touch points including out-of-home (OOH) media, digital, point of sale merchandise and on- the- ground initiatives across all key markets.

Campus Activewear launches Zeenat Aman-led Women’s Day campaign
Icon fronts ‘You Go Girl’ extension celebrating choice and freedom in motion.
MUMBAI: This Women’s Day, Campus didn’t just drop a campaign, it dropped the rulebook and handed women the pen to rewrite their stride. Campus Activewear has unveiled a powerful new cinematic campaign starring cultural icon Zeenat Aman, extending its long-running ‘You Go Girl’ initiative. Titled around the theme of freedom to move on her own terms, the film transcends conventional markers of success wealth, fame or nostalgia and focuses on choice as the true driver of progress.
Through striking visuals, Zeenat rejects glitter, noise and imposed expectations, embracing unapologetic forward motion. Her journey becomes a metaphor for every woman evolving, leading and inspiring on her own path, free from permission or predefined roles.
Campus Activewear, chief innovation officer Prerna Agarwal said, “For us, empowering women goes far beyond a campaign or a single day of celebration. It begins with creating an environment where women feel confident, supported, and free to pursue their ambitions without hesitation. We focus on understanding their everyday movements and designing products that genuinely make day-to-day lives easier comfort through long days, reliability through changing roles, style that reflects individuality.”
Zeenat Aman added, “I have spent a lifetime being told what I should look like, what I should wear, and what I should represent. And for a lifetime, I have walked my own way regardless. That is not rebellion that is simply knowing who you are. When Campus approached me with this campaign, I said yes immediately, because the message is not about me. It is about every woman who has been handed a label and decided to wear it as a badge of honour instead. You go girl move your way.”
The campaign reinforces Campus’s belief that freedom is not granted, it is claimed. By featuring Zeenat Aman as both voice and symbol, the message gains deeper resonance: progress happens when women are heard, barriers are removed, and momentum is created for everyone around them.
In a world that still tries to set the pace for women, Campus and Zeenat aren’t asking for permission, they’re reminding every woman that the only approval needed to move forward is her own.
