ASCI and Goafest 2012 present ‘Creativity with a Conscience’
MUMBAI: In a bid to encourage self regulation in advertising Advertising Standard Council of India (ASCI) in partnership with Goafest 2012 has announced a contest to promote responsible creativity under the theme “Creativity with a Conscience” during Goafest 2012. The ASCI Mobile Movie Challenge contest, which is open for advertising, marketing and media professionals, revolves around creating short films using a mobile phone.
Teams of three young professionals under the age of 30 years will be asked to create a short film, between 30 and 60 seconds, using their mobile handsets. Each team will be assigned a mentor film maker who can guide the team members on the nuances of film making. The teams will create the art forms on one of the four briefs provided by ASCI.
The teams will be required to create movies based on the themes of honesty and truthfulness in advertising, decency in advertising as per generally accepted societal norms, safety and avoiding exploitation of vulnerable sections of society, especially children and fairness in competition.
ASCI board member Subhash Kamath said, “The theme, ‘Creativity with a Conscience,‘ goes hand-in-hand with ASCI‘s objective of responsible advertising. Our aim is to inspire professionals to abide by the guidelines set by ASCI and to take up self regulation on an individual level as the only other alternative is governmental censorship, which is, not desirable for a creative industry like ours. By reaching out to young professionals, we‘re ensuring that our efforts towards self regulation are understood by the people who will be implementing the work.”
The entries will be judged by a jury of top creative directors and film makes of the industry. Four winning teams, one per brief, will be selected and each team member will be awarded during the Creative Abbys.

Dinshaw’s launches 3x chocolate cone with ‘Dildaari’ campaign
Vinod Kambli fronts summer push built around richer final bite.
MUMBAI: The sweetest part of an ice cream may no longer be the first lick, it is now the last word. Dinshaw’s is rewriting the rules of cone indulgence with its new ‘Dildaari’ campaign, built around a simple twist: three times more solid chocolate at the tip.
At the centre of the launch is a familiar consumer truth, the final bite of a cone is often the most anticipated. Dinshaw’s is leaning into that moment, turning it into the hero by amplifying the chocolate layer at the bottom, effectively repositioning the end of the cone as the highlight of the experience.
The campaign is fronted by former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli, whose personal journey lends an emotional undertone to the storytelling. Built around the line “Jinko life mein thoda kam mila, unke liye thoda zyada”, the narrative blends nostalgia with generosity, framing the product upgrade as more than just a feature, it is a gesture.
Timed for peak summer and the ongoing cricket season, the campaign taps into moments of heightened consumption and sentiment, where small indulgences carry outsized emotional value.
The new range features nine flavours Badam Roasted, Butterscotch, Caramel Dolce, Choco Chip, Chocolate Brownie, Chocolate Ganache, Cookies n Cream, Mississippi Dark and Mocha Black and White each designed to complement the enhanced chocolate finish.
Conceptualised by Womb, the campaign pivots away from functional messaging to a more human insight: that sometimes, the smallest additions can make the biggest difference.
As brands continue to hunt for differentiation in a crowded category, Dinshaw’s bet is clear, if you cannot change the whole cone, make the last bite unforgettable.
