MUMBAI: Center Fresh will now be available in a different flavour. The refreshing chewing gum as an natural extension to the brand has launched the Paan flavour. The flagship brand of Perfetti Van Melle India roped in Ogilvy & Mather for the new campaign.

The Center Fresh Paan campaign devised by Soda Films reaffirms the base brand positioning, while announcing the arrival of the new flavour. Directed by Rajesh Krishnan and produced by Ameya Dahibavkar, the TVC translates into its tagline Zubaan Pe Rakhe Lagaam (Keeps your mouth shut).

Commenting on the launch, group product manager Chaitanya Shekar said, "Center Fresh and Paan have significant synergies, given their mouth-freshening properties and it was only a matter of time in getting this logical extension on the brand. We are extremely excited about this new launch and we believe this format will open up new avenues for consumption of Paan in a quick and fun way."

Giving an insight into the TVC, Ogilvy & Mather national creative director Abhijit Avasthi said, "We have all come across the not-so-pretty sight of people stuffing Paan into their mouth and talking. Half of the time it‘s not even clear what they are saying. But they go on, without caring whether the spit is staining their clothes or flying off from their mouth and landing on the other person‘s face. We took this insight and crafted a funny ad that showed the consequences a dhobi‘s son has to face due to his talking while chewing Paan."
