Save Our Restaurants
Cannes Submission
Eight films for one of the biggest FMCG companies on earth, across two very different jobs: campaign work that had to land with Gen Z, and corporate films that had to explain marketing technology to the business.

PepsiCo is the kind of client where nothing ships without passing a lot of desks. Regional marketing, brand custodians, legal, R&D, the celebrity's own team. Every one of them can say no.
The campaign side had to work on culture. Swag Se Solo put Salman Khan at the centre of a Valentine's campaign that celebrated being single, built with T-Series as music partner, with Pepsi as the only brand in it. Save Our Restaurants was the opposite register: restaurants across India were closing, and the film had to carry a real argument with real numbers without turning into a charity ad. It went forward as a Cannes submission.
The technology side is where most of the volume sits, and it is the harder brief. Tech-Enabled Marketing, Consumer DNA, Demand Accelerator, First-Party Data and R&D Vision 2030 are films about AI, predictive analytics, martech stacks and data governance. The audience is internal and senior. There is no celebrity to hide behind, and the subject matter actively resists being made watchable.
That work is closer to what we do than it looks. We build this kind of technology ourselves, so we can follow the material rather than just prettify a deck someone hands us, and argue with the script when the explanation does not hold up.
