From ‘joy of eating’ to ‘joy of cooking’: Fortune completes 20 years
NEW DELHI: Fortune Edible Oils & Foods is celebrating 20 years of giving food lovers in the nation a healthier lifestyle. To mark this milestone, Fortune has launched a new campaign highlighting their brand’s essence, ‘20 years of Fortune.’ Augmented with a versatile array of dishes, cultures and festivals, the ad showcases the significance of the brand.
The purpose of this entire campaign is to highlight the diversity that the brand has maintained over the years along with the fact that consumer loyalty has been the core strength that helped the brand sustain in the market.
Earlier this year, Fortune Foods transformed its visual identity with the launch of a new logo that reflects its fast-evolving product offerings. Fortune Edible Oils & Foods has offered its consumers the largest variety of oils and extended to food categories such as wheat flour, Basmati rice, pulses, soya chunks and besan. Off late, they also launched the ready-to-cook version of the most popular comfort food in the country, khichdi. The brand’s ready-to-cook portfolio has increased substantially causing a shift in the consumer’s concept from “joy of eating” to “joy of cooking.”
Head of marketing Ajay Motwani said, “Fortune has always been consistent about connecting with the consumers in the correct way which was precisely the context of the campaign. In less than two decades, Fortune has not only become the number one cooking oil brand but also one of the fastest growing food brands in India. We are thrilled to be celebrating 20 years of Fortune. With this milestone, we only promise to get better and bigger by continuing to satisfy consumers with the value of the brand.”
Deputy CEO Angshu Mallick said, “We have always aimed at strengthening Fortune’s position in the market and strived to be relevant to younger households through the values they believe in. We would like to thank all those who stood for the brand and expressed their sheer love and affection towards it. Fortune Edible Oils & Foods will continue to deliver utmost consumer satisfaction ensuring that their ghar ka khana evolves to an even greater contentment.”
Gujarat-based Adani Wilmar had launched its flagship Fortune brand on 24 November 2000 in Jaipur.

Omnicom Media appoints Bradley Rogers as CEO of OMD USA
Red Ventures president to lead OMD’s largest market as Chrissie Hanson exits
NEW YORK: Omnicom Media has named Bradley Rogers as chief executive officer of OMD Worldwide’s US business, handing him the reins of one of the world’s largest media agency operations. His appointment takes effect on March 23.
Rogers steps into the role with more than 25 years of experience across media, creative services and digital platforms. Over the years, he has held senior leadership roles at global organisations including McCann Worldgroup, Ogilvy, Mindshare and Red Ventures, working across global, regional and market level operations.
His career has also seen him build long standing partnerships with major brands such as IBM, Mastercard, Microsoft and Nestlé.
Announcing the move, Ralph Pardo, chief executive officer of Omnicom Media North America, said Rogers brings a rare mix of business acumen and cross discipline expertise shaped by leadership roles across media, creative services, commerce and consumer platforms.
Pardo noted that Rogers’ entrepreneurial mindset and ability to connect capabilities, teams and ideas makes him well suited to lead OMD as marketing grows more complex and outcome driven.
Rogers succeeds Chrissie Hanson, who is stepping down after four years as chief executive officer of OMD USA. Pardo credited Hanson with strengthening the agency’s market leadership and deepening the value delivered to clients during her tenure.
Before joining OMD, Rogers served as president at Red Ventures, a digital marketing and large scale customer acquisition company recognised by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies. Prior to that, he was global president and chief operating officer at MRM, part of McCann Worldgroup, where he oversaw global operations across 16 markets and managed relationships with several of the world’s largest brands.
In his new role, Rogers will lead the US arm of OMD, the largest market within the global media agency network.
Commenting on his appointment, Rogers said that as marketing organisations navigate rapid change, agencies must work closely with clients to understand both the pressures they face and the opportunities ahead. He added that his focus will be on delivering measurable outcomes while unlocking Omnicom Media’s strengths in scale, data, identity, commerce and talent to drive growth for the brands it serves.
