FCB Ulkacreates ‘EkChammachAmul Ghee’ campaign to promote the benefits of Amul Ghee
Ghee has its roots in ancient Ayurveda and has always been treated as the epitome of health with regard to it being good for bones, weight loss, reducing cholesterol etc. Ayurveda recognizes ghee as an essential part of a balanced diet. Ghee has always been a sacred and celebrated symbol of auspiciousness, nourishment and healing; especially in the daily rituals of cooking and worship.
In today’s day and age, few consumers are aware of the health benefits of ghee. While most consumers are aware that Ghee brings about a unique taste and richness to food, only a few know that it is a good source of energy.
Amul Ghee is the largest player with an established and preferred name in the ghee market.
Ghee is made out of fresh milk from its dairies. It packs in goodness of milk in every spoon of ghee.
‘EkChammachAmul Ghee campaign talks not only about having one spoonful of ghee which will add taste to the food but also about the health benefits.
Commenting on the campaign GCMMF Managing Director R S Sodhi said, “Repositioning the brand – Amul ghee, and the category itself on the platform of wellness has been our strategic focus for more than a decade. While ghee has always been an integral part of our culture and tradition since thousands of years, we feel that our younger generation should be informed about the intrinsic goodness of ghee. As pan-India brand leaders in the category, it our responsibility to ensure growth of branded, packaged segment within ghee market, since it ultimately benefits consumers.
FCB Ulka Executive Creative Director Haresh Moorjani said, “As a nation of food lovers, we are always looking for that special ingredient that adds an extra something to our dishes. Actually that special ingredient is as simple as a spoonful of Amul Ghee. The TVC talks about the virtues of this spoonful of Amul Ghee, adding an extra zing to food”.
The film was aired on various GEC’s with a high decibel media plan.

VML India lands two finalist spots at Cairns Hatchlings 2026
The Mumbai agency is back in Australia with two teams, a UN brief and 24 hours to impress
MUMBAI: VML India is heading to Australia again. The Mumbai-based creative agency has secured two finalist spots at the Cairns Hatchlings 2026 competition, one in the Audio category and one in Design, making it the only Indian agency to have reached the finals in both editions of the contest since its launch in 2025.
Four people will make the trip. Senior copywriter Shilpi Dey and senior art director Raj Thakkar will compete in Audio. Art directors Shabbir and Shruti Negi will go head-to-head with the world’s best in Design. The finals take place at the Cairns Convention Centre from 13th May, culminating in an awards ceremony on 15th May.
The work that got them there is worth examining. For the Audio category, Dey and Thakkar tackled a brief for LIVE LIKE MMAD with a campaign called Inner Voice, Interrupted. Using spatial audio techniques, the campaign recreates the overwhelming self-doubt that descends after a long workday, physically panning negative thoughts left and right before cutting the noise entirely to reveal a confident inner voice. Strategically targeted at commuters via Spotify during evening rush hours, the campaign reframes the hours after work as an opportunity for personal growth and charitable action.
For the Design category, Shabbir and Negi worked on a brief for Canteen’s Bandanna Day, a campaign highlighting how cancer pushes teenagers out of their own defining moments. Using a pixelated design language to create stark contrast between a blurred world of isolation and a focused world of connection, the campaign, titled The Flipside of Cancer, shows teenagers fading into the background of birthdays, skateparks and school proms. As a Canteen bandanna appears, the blur flips and the teenager snaps back into sharp focus.
Kalpesh Patankar, group chief creative officer of VML India, made no attempt to disguise his satisfaction. “We are immensely proud to see our teams consistently excel on the Cairns Hatchlings platform since its inception,” he said. “They have masterfully tackled challenging briefs across diverse categories, demonstrating both layered storytelling and a unique creative approach. This exceptional teamwork is truly inspiring.”
Dey and Thakkar, returning to the finals after last year’s run, were candid about the demands of the audio medium. “It’s one of the most demanding mediums, where we only have a few seconds to capture a listener’s world with sound alone, so absolute clarity is essential,” they said. “The true measure of creative work is its ability to create positive change, and our audio submission was made to help those who need it most while encouraging people to silence the inner voices that hold them back.”
Shabbir and Negi, competing in Design for the first time, described the experience as “a completely different beast.” “We see it as an opportunity to showcase our expertise, raise the bar, and challenge ourselves in new ways, while also learning from creative minds from across the globe,” they said.
In Australia, the four finalists will face a live 24-hour brief from the United Nations before presenting in a live pitch session. Twenty-four hours, one brief, one shot. VML India has been here before. It knows exactly what is at stake.
