Domino’s unveils new brand campaign – ‘Dil, Dosti, Domino’s!’
MUMBAI: Domino’s Pizza, the market leader in chained pizza segment in India, has launched its new campaign ‘Dil, Dosti, Domino’s’. The campaign aims to strengthen the emotional connect with the consumers by creating tasty and memorable moments of togetherness while capturing it in the new tagline “Dil, Dosti, Domino’s!”
Domino’s has been a progressive brand in many ways. The promise of ‘30 minutes or free’ a decade ago was well ahead of its time. Even today, the brand continues to stay connected with emerging consumer trends. The consumer today are seeking brands that are authentic, inclusive and engaging. So whether it was about acknowledging consumer feedback and launching ‘All New Domino’s’ product improvement campaign, offering great value to consumer with the ‘Everyday Value’ campaign, offering best in class digital ordering experience on the ‘Domino’s App’ or offering variety to the consumers through exciting launches like ‘World Pizza League’, Domino’s has always attempted to stay relevant to the new age consumer.
Speaking on the launch of the new campaign, Domino’s Pizza India Chief Marketing Officer Kapil Grover said, “Today, relationships have evolved from what they were a few years ago, especially relationships between Friends and Families. Hierarchical parental relationships no longer bind families. There is a lot of mutual respect and friendship amongst kids and parents today. Similarly, with the family structures changing, friends have become your new support system and in fact an extended family for a lot of us. And if we recall these moments, good food has always been a glue for relationships, especially Domino’s Pizza being a shareable product has been at the centre of many such stories where “Friends Become Family and Families Become Friends.”
Shedding light on the storytelling, FCB Ulka CCO Swati Bhattacharya said, “Domino’s pizza is designed to be shared for people to gather around the "magic circle", pull at a cheesy slice and fight for the last bite. And in this very act of sharing and connecting, formality and boundaries get dissolved. Friends become like family, and family become like friends. Our campaign captures this essence of Domino’s and its role in the Indian consumer’s life.”

Faber-Castell India appoints Sunaina Haldar as director – marketing
With stints at Tata, SleepyCat and ADF Foods under her belt, Haldar is primed to redraw Faber-Castell’s brand story
MUMBAI: Faber-Castell India has poached Sunaina Haldar from ADF Foods, appointing her director – marketing as the German stationery brand looks to muscle up in a category that is rapidly reinventing itself around creativity and self-expression.
Haldar hit the ground running. “My first couple of weeks have been incredibly energising, understanding consumers, visiting markets, engaging with retailers and immersing myself into the world of Faber-Castell Group,” she said.
She arrives with considerable firepower. At ADF Foods, Haldar ran marketing across India and international markets for a portfolio spanning Ashoka, Aeroplane, Camel and ADF Soul. Before that, she was vice-president – marketing at direct-to-consumer mattress brand SleepyCat, where she helmed brand, content and performance marketing. Her résumé also includes a stint leading marketing, new product development and CRM for Tata SmartFoodz at Tata Consumer Products, no small proving ground.
Between corporate roles, Haldar also operated as a fractional CMO for early-stage startups, building marketing strategy and operational structures from scratch, a signal that she knows how to move fast with limited resources.
With 18 years straddling FMCG, D2C and the startup world, Haldar now takes the reins at a brand that has long owned the classroom but is clearly hungry for the living room. In a stationery market where the pencil has become a lifestyle statement, Faber-Castell has picked someone who knows exactly how to sell that story.
