The judgement is out: Swiggy’s “Match Day Mania” offers are simply irresistible
Swiggy’s cricket season ads are back, this time with Judge Neena Gupta calling for a special order in court
The on-demand platform’s latest ads recreate a courtroom setting and highlight Swiggy’s Match Day Mania offers
Chennai, April 12, 2023 : Attuned to the country’s undying love for food and cricket, Swiggy, India’s leading on-demand convenience delivery platform is back with two witty television commercials (TVCs) to communicate the special offers and discounts under its “Match Day Mania” campaign for the ongoing cricket season. This multi-platform campaign underlines the brand’s commitment to offering unparalleled convenience through quick deliveries of food on match days.
In these TVCs, a mock courtroom setting has been enacted to promote discount offers of flat Rs 125 off on ord ers of more than Rs 249 from Swiggy. In the first TVC, a prosecutor passes on this phone to the defense lawyer w ho then shares it with his client saying “acha offer hai, le lena chahiya”. The judge, Neena Gupta, suspecting a secre t settlement between the two parties questions them. However, it turns out to be a discount offer on Swiggy, lea ding to chaos in the courtroom with everyone checking their phones. The judge asks for “order” in the courtro o m, and mumbles “order” to her attendant, directing him to order from Swiggy.
In the second TVC, the judge tells the defense lawyer that there’s no possibility of reducing the fine that has bee n levied on the accused; “it’s a court order, not a Swiggy order” the judge reminds him. She then proceeds to offer him a “Pizza” to which he responds, “No objection your honour.”
Swiggy has a penchant for coming up with witty ads with a hilarious take on real-life situations. After successfull y integrating cricket commentary in their ads in the previous years, the latest TVCs, with their tongue-in-chee k courtroom humour, reel the viewers into the storytelling and clearly communicate the campaign’s proposition. T he 25-second ads will run in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Telugu.
Commenting on the new campaign Sneha John, Director, Brand Marketing at Swiggy, said, “For viewers, ordering their favourite food to go with the cricketing action has become an important part of the match-viewing experience. For years now, Swiggy has been enhancing this further with discounts and special offers. People watch cricket to have a good time, and it is important that our ads speak to them in a light-hearted, fun way that has now become characteristic of Sw iggy. ”
Deepan Ramachandran Founder and Creative Director, Mind Your Language! said “The only
numbers that interest people during match hours are the scores. So, to communicate an exciting
discount offer, it must be in a disruptive setup. While the ads show an everyday courtroom coming alive
with the mention of the offer, we believe that every household will also sit up and take notice of it.”
Pandiyaraj, Creative Director of Mind Your Language! adds “Be it any serious situation, food makes it
immediately lighter. And when you add an exciting offer like Swiggy Match Day Mania to mix, the fun iseven more.”
Recently the platform was in the news when a post showing an elevator full of Swiggy delivery partner s during a Mumbai Indians Vs Royal Challengers Ba ngalore match went viral on social media. The user had shared the pict ure with the caption “No. of Sw iggy guys in a building is directly proportional to ho w interesting the match is.”
