Fevikwik glues laughter to everyday life with new humorous ad campaign
MUMBAI: They say love sticks, but Fevikwik takes it literally. The instant adhesive brand from Pidilite Industries has rolled out a new ad campaign that fuses quick fixes with quick laughs, proving that even sticky situations can be hilarious.
The TVC centres on a middle-aged couple whose playful quarrel over a forgotten anniversary turns into a memorable moment, sealed with Fevikwik’s signature speed and flair. True to its legacy, the campaign blends everyday relatability with humour, reminding viewers that Fevikwik isn’t just for objects, it’s a companion in life’s little sticky moments.
“Fevikwik’s latest campaign is a reminder that strong bonds can come with a smile,” said Pidilite Industries, chief marketing officer, Sandeep Tanwani. “We’ve woven humour into relatable situations to make Fevikwik more than an adhesive, it’s a brand that connects emotionally too.”
Ogilvy India, chief creative officer west, Anurag Agnihotri added, “The ‘Anniversary’ film illustrates how Fevikwik stays true to its legacy, offering quick fixes not just for objects, but for life’s tiny, precious moments. Ingenuity, wit, and heart continue to define the brand.”
The campaign is now live across television, digital, and social media platforms, sticking its signature humour firmly in the minds of viewers, one laugh at a time.

DeVANS sparks buzz with self-chilling beer can April Fools campaign
Godfather stunt racks up 7 million impressions, blending humour with hype
NEW DELHI: DeVANS Modern Breweries has stirred up the marketing pot with a playful yet high-impact campaign teasing a futuristic “self-chilling beer can” under its flagship Godfather label.
What began as a seemingly bold product innovation quickly turned into one of the most talked-about brand moments online, before being revealed as an April Fools’ Day prank. The reveal, however, did little to cool the buzz.
The campaign clocked over 7 million organic impressions across platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook and X, with users debating whether the concept was a genuine breakthrough or clever marketing theatre. Thousands of shares and comments turned the idea into a full-blown conversation, drawing in both consumers and industry insiders.
The hook was simple but effective. A self-chilling can positioned as an on-the-go convenience product tapped into the imagination of younger, urban audiences. Add the timing around April Fools’ Day, and the campaign struck the perfect balance between curiosity and scepticism, keeping audiences guessing.
Marketing experts have pointed to the campaign as a case study in leveraging cultural moments. By leaving just enough ambiguity, the brand invited audiences to participate rather than simply observe, turning passive viewers into active contributors to the narrative.
“Godfather has always been an iconic brand, but iconicity must evolve to stay meaningful,” said DeVANS Modern Breweries chairman and managing director Prem Dewan. “The ‘Self-Chilling Can’ was our way of showing up in a cultural moment with confidence and a sense of humour.”
Beyond the numbers, the campaign signals a broader repositioning for Godfather. Long seen as a legacy beer brand, it is now leaning into youth culture, digital-first storytelling and topical engagement to stay relevant in a crowded alcobev market.
In a space where attention is fleeting, DeVANS has shown that sometimes the coolest idea is the one that keeps people guessing.
