On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan which falls on Saturday, August 29, some of the big brands like Mondelez, Amazon, Camlin, Videocon, Ferrero Rocher and few courier companies have come out with interesting campaigns highlighting the brother-sister bond. Some of these brand campaigns have been released on TV, while some are going strong on the digital medium. Few of these videos because of their different concept and hashtags have picked up well and are going viral on social media. We take a look at some of the campaigns.

Mondelez:

The first brand to release any form of communication around Raksha Bandhan this year was Cadbury Celebrations, the brand which is known to release festival timed advertisements that are emotional and celebratory. The TV campaign done by Contract Advertising worked on the insight that brothers and sisters express their love and hatred for each other through bickering and good natured banter. The fun and joy of the small entertaining squabbles or nok-jhok makes the sibling relationship strong and unique.
