Pukka brews a relaxing storm with self care in a cup’ campaign
MUMBAI: In a world that’s always on the boil, Pukka is serving up a much-needed pause. The UK’s no. one herbal infusion brand, recently launched in India by Unilever, has unveiled its latest campaign ‘self care in a cup’ encouraging consumers to slow down, unwind, and embrace relaxation.
At the heart of this campaign is what could be the internet’s most calming film, an ASMR-inspired visual retreat crafted to soothe the senses. Conceptualised by Lowe Lintas, the film blends nature-inspired imagery, rhythmic sounds, and a gentle narrative, transporting viewers into a world of serenity, one sip at a time.
Pukka’s wellness-first approach extends beyond visuals. The brand has also nudged night owls towards better sleep with thoughtfully placed ads on Spotify and Instagram, gently reminding them to swap late-night scrolling for a warm, caffeine-free herbal infusion.
Leading the charge in this relaxation revolution is Pukka chamomile and lavender for night time sleep, a blend infused with Ayurvedic wisdom and handpicked herbs known to calm the mind and promote restful slumber.
“With Pukka, we are committed to bringing the power of herbal wellness to every home. This film is more than just a visual escape, it’s an invitation for India to sip mindfully and embrace self-care,” said Unilever Beverages India head Ishtpreet Singh.
Now available across top metro cities and major e-commerce platforms, Pukka’s herbal infusions are brewing a wellness movement, one cup at a time.
