Wai Wai noodles set to debut maiden TVC tomorrow

Wai Wai, the iconic noodles brand from CG Foods, now takes a big leap with the launch of its advertising and 360-degree campaign. Based on the core brand positioning of ‘Munch It! Soup It! Lunch It!’, the campaign showcases the versatility and taste edge of Wai Wai, besides creating a strong connect with its primary audience – the youth. The TVC is set to hit the small screen on August 5, 2016.

The brand has so far enjoyed popularity through word of mouth. From college canteens to hostel rooms and a quick fix lunch at home, Wai Wai has been the preferred taste companion for years.

Nirvana Chaudhary, Managing Director, CG Foods, remarked, “Wai Wai’s popularity has always been driven by the youth, they have been our salient brand ambassadors. For the brand, its demand has always far exceeded supply. With the launch of the new TVC, we are now ready to reach out to a larger base and cater to every corner of India.”

GP Sah, CEO, CG Foods, added here, “The biggest strength of Wai Wai is undoubtedly its taste. The creative idea behind the campaign is to leverage its strength and emphasise it as a total go-to food – a ready to eat snack, soup or a meal. Through the new campaign, the brand is set to become the newest category disruptor.”

Colvyn Harris, ¬CEO, Harris-Mint, CG Foods’ strategic advisor, said, “We have a comprehensive strategic roadmap ahead for the brand. The intent is to be the leading brand within the next three years in the markets we operate in. The campaign articulates Wai Wai as the category differentiator in the mature instant noodle segment, making it unique with ‘Munch it! Soup it! Lunch it!’ as our benefit led framework, which is differentiated. We are looking at two clear market segments – mainstream India and Digital India with a dominant online presence.”

Part of the multinational conglomerate CG Corp Global, CG Foods has seven manufacturing plants across India, including Guwahati, Purnea, Sikkim, Rudrapur, Silchar and Chittoor. It manufactures 2.3 billion packets of Wai Wai annually, and it is being sold in 32 countries.
