MUMBAI: In the run-up to the Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019, chocolate brand Snickers teamed up with its brand ambassador and cricketer MS Dhoni for an interesting social media campaign based around its global philosophy of ‘You Are Not You When You’re Hungry’.

The campaign saw the cricketer playing a prank his followers on social media by telling them that he will be giving up cricket to pursue his childhood dream of being a painter. He later revealed that the announcement was made by him when he was hungry and takes a bite from Snickers bar to rethink his ‘hungry decision’.

The video reiterates the ‘hunger ache achhon ko badal deta hai’ proposition of the brand.

 Speaking about the videos, Mars Wrigley Confectionery marketing director Yogesh Tewari said, “Since its launch in India, SNICKERS® has effectively established itself as a solution to hunger cravings and developed a strong base of loyal consumers. The brand is known for its quirky, tongue-in-cheek personality and the fun prank with brand ambassador M.S. Dhoni was the perfect representation of the brand’s values. Fans never expected Dhoni would play such a prank on them. But even Captain Cool can lose his cool when hungry! Hunger pangs can get to the best of us, and for that, we can always grab a SNICKERS.”
