McCain Foods Ltd. is a frozen food company that captured more than 80% of the market share in the category. The brand’s core proposition is ready in 3-mins variety - restaurant-like taste at home and value for money. In terms of product association, French Fries and Smiles were the two hero products that were associated with McCain.
McCain wanted to capture the attention of every household in the country by making mothers their champions. They wanted consumers to consider McCain as everyday snacking option and also build awareness about their range of products.

Based on the existing conversations we observed, we aimed to drive conversations around how members should keep their houses clean and ensure that they are germ-free.

In all the 4 phases, we created snacking moments with McCain. In the first phase, the group admins shared the personal snacking habits during monsoon. They shared their reason for having McCain and why its their favourite snacking options. Every group admin shared their personal experiences on the taste, time to cook, variety options, and many more. In other phases, the admins strenghtened the association of McCain with other moments like having snacks while watching IPL, family and friends get together, recipes with McCain, and during festive season. The admins shared how McCain has helped them save time and given them a chance to enjoy quick snacks without having to compromise on taste.
