Overview
A comprehensive 360° digital brand and performance advertising campaign for Sweet India — Australia's premier Indian sweets and restaurant chain with 12 locations across Melbourne, Geelong, and Sydney. Built around the signature $25 'Samosa Bucket' (8 handcrafted samosas + 1.25L Coca-Cola Classic) and the festive Raksha Bandhan commercial film, bridging authentic subcontinent culinary heritage with Australian contemporary dining culture.
Positioning Sweet India not just as an ethnic sweet shop, but as 'Australia's Home of Indian Sweets' through a high-energy 'Hook → Product → Emotion → CTA' architecture. The Samosa Bucket was conceived as a communal fast-casual icon — anchoring the $25 value proposition directly into Australian lifestyle rituals like Friday evening cricket viewing, Sydney CBD lunches, and festive family celebrations.
