Rebel Foods awards Sweet Truth TV campaign to DCMN
NEW DELHI: DCMN India has won the mandate for Rebel Foods’ premium Western dessert brand Sweet Truth. The marketing campaign consists of a brandformance TV flight for the Indian market, which was launched on 15 October 2020.
Aside from media planning and booking, DCMN will track and optimize the campaign’s performance using their proprietary TV attribution tool DC Analytics. The ads are being rolled out nationwide, including in the 35 cities where Sweet Truth is available. The campaign is targeting young men and women who are quality-conscious western dessert lovers. And the cherry on top: Users can give a dessert to a beloved fellow sweet tooth with a personalised video.
“We are excited about being able to support Sweet Truth’s growth with a very targeted campaign and all analytics as well as media expertise available to us. Given the fast development of this industry, especially in the context of the ongoing pandemic, brandformance TV is the perfect approach to grow the Sweet Truth brand among its target groups,” said Bindu Balakrishnan, country head of DCMN India.
Sweet Truth is the fourth brand from the Rebel Foods ecosystem that DCMN is onboarding. The two companies are already working together to grow the Behrouz Biryani, OvenStory and Faasos brands. The Sweet Truth account will also be serviced from DCMN’s Gurgaon office and will be led by Balakrishnan.
On the launch of the campaign, Rebel Foods VP-brands Nishant Kedia said it will speak to their target audience of urban dessert lovers with a refined palate in a meaningful way.
Sweet Truth is India's online delivery service for premium Western desserts – for all occasions. Its parent company is Rebel Foods (formerly Faasos), which runs 350+ cloud kitchens delivering across India, South East Asia, UK and UAE.

Sleepwell unveils nationwide sleep study on World Sleep Day
79 per cent use screens before bed, 36 per cent of 18–25-year-olds sleep ≤5 hours.
MUMBAI: Sleepwell just dropped the pillow truth bomb because when India’s sleeping less and scrolling more, even the mattress wants to stage an intervention. On World Sleep Day 2026, Sleepwell released its nationwide Sleep Study, painting a stark picture of India’s escalating sleep crisis. The findings show that 79% of Indians use screens right before bed, fuelling restless nights and drowsy days. Alarmingly, 36% of young adults aged 18–25 sleep five hours or less making them the country’s most sleep-deprived group.
The study also busts the myth of “catch-up sleep”, 65% of respondents actually sleep even later on weekends, pointing to increasingly irregular patterns that spill fatigue into the working week. Mattress discomfort emerged as a frequently overlooked culprit behind late-night wake-ups and constant leak-anxiety checks.
To drive the message home, Sleepwell’s CMO Puneet Gulati appeared on Zee Business, stressing that quality sleep isn’t a luxury, it’s foundational health. He highlighted how the right mattress can transform restless nights into restorative ones.
The brand doubled down with clever late-night activations, partnering with a quick-commerce platform to serve contextual ads between 11 pm and 3 am, gently nudging bleary-eyed scrollers to consider mattress discomfort as the reason they’re still awake and pointing them to the nearest Sleepwell store. Digital influencers and creators also shared relatable stories of how poor sleep fuels impulsive late-night behaviour.
In a nation that celebrates hustle but quietly pays for it in lost rest, Sleepwell isn’t just selling mattresses, it’s selling the radical idea that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is close your eyes and actually sleep well.
