Mumbai: DS Group’s DS Spiceco has launched a new campaign for Catch Salts & Spices, featuring Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar. The campaign highlights the brand’s new positioning, "Kyunki Khana Sirf Khana Nahi Hota."

Conceptualised by Dentsu Creative, the campaign highlights the idea that food encompasses a multitude of creations: memories, bonds, tradition, and values, thereby bringing the brand closer to a consumer’s daily life.

The brand further emphasises the underlying thought that food is a language that is used to express a myriad of emotions.

"We Indians do not just enjoy food; we relish it. I am pleased to be a part of the brand, Catch Salts & Spices, and its new campaign. "Food for me," has always held a larger meaning. It is a delight to portray this emotion on screen," said Kumar.

On the occasion, Pednekar reiterated, "Catch Salts & Spices has become a household name with its wide range of products. I believe that the way to someone’s heart is through food, and hence resonate with the thought of "Kyunki Khana Sirf Khana Nahi Hota."

Commenting on the campaign, DS Spiceco business head Sandeep Ghosh said, "Spices are the soul of Indian cuisine. We as a brand, want to own the consumer's kitchen with our range of spices. The new campaign would bring out different nuances of consumers' interactions with food. I am delighted to welcome Akshay and Bhumi, who have elevated our proposition with their performance."

Speaking about the creative side, Dentsu Creative Group chief creative officer Ajay Gahlaut said, "For us, food is more than just fuel for the body, often, it’s how we express ourselves and how we show care for each other. It is about the bonding and conversations that happen over food. That’s the thought behind this campaign, and I am thrilled to see it finally come to life."

"Catch Salts & Spices is a progressive brand that is known for its premium quality and wide range of products and is now trying to adopt a new positioning that delves into consumers' deep bonding with food. I can already see this breaking the clutter in the sea of sameness in the competitive landscape," added Dentsu Creative North president Ajit Devraj.
