Mumbai: Dharampal Satyapal Group (DS Group), a multi-business corporation and a leading FMCG conglomerate, has unveiled a unique digital campaign for its popular chewing gum, 'Chingles.’ This innovative initiative, the ‘Chingles Prankbot’ digital campaign, has been created by Merely Digital and executed in collaboration with White Rivers Media (WRM).
The #ChinglesPrankbot campaign, set to debut on Instagram and subsequently on other social media platforms, marks a pioneering move as Chingles Gums becomes the first chewing gum brand to introduce an AI-bot specialising in suggesting pranks.
The central idea behind the campaign is to rekindle the culture of pranks and gags, providing people with a light-hearted escape from stress. Meet Master-Lee, the AI PrankBot designed to recommend harmless and amusing pranks. Master-Lee aims to create a space where individuals find joy in the simple things around them through unique pranks suggested by the bot. Utilizing machine learning, the bot understands users' preferences and offers personalized prank ideas based on their inputs. Master-Lee's expertise lies in suggesting unexpected and impactful pranks, encouraging users to engage in laughter-filled moments with their family and friends.
Announcing the campaign, general manager, DS Foods Ltd (confectionery) Arvind Kumar said "At DS Group, innovation has always been at the core of our approach. With the introduction of the Chingles Prankbot campaign, we are not only providing fun and entertaining elements to our consumers but also establishing Chingles Gum as a trendsetter in the chewing gum category. Master-Lee, AI PrankBot, is a unique and exciting way for people to experience laughter and joy in their everyday lives. We believe this campaign will resonate with our existing customer base and attract new audiences seeking novel and enjoyable experiences in the digital realm."
"The quirky and exciting nature of the Chingles Gums’ Master-Lee campaign made it a great experience. This serves as a perfect and fresh example of how brands can maneuver the power of AI to connect with their consumers and create massive buzz online" commented White Rivers Media co-founder and chief creative officer Mitesh Kothari on their radical association.
To create engagement with the users, the Prank Bot will be introduced, accessible to users through Chingles Instagram DMs, where they can seek prank-related suggestions, and the bot will respond in a fun and quirky manner based on their inputs. Users can share the Prank Bot's DM responses on their stories. Master-Lee will feature and rate the best prank attempts on the official page, providing recognition and appreciation to participants.
