As Living Foodz enters its second year of operations, the channel continues to maintain the brand promise and take food and fun to the next level.
The ‘Obsessed With Food’ campaign was created by Scarecrow Communications. It is a highly relatable concept as we all have a friend, relative or acquaintance who are completely obsessed with food! The TV campaign comprises of three commercials, inspired by such food-obsessed people from all walks of life. It is a light-hearted take on the insight that will resonate with food lovers. The TVCs will be promoted on General Entertainment, news and movie channels, in addition to Living Foodz. The same idea is carried forward on Radio, Digital and Social Media with various renditions of food obsession.
Commenting on the campaign, Mr. Amit Nair, Business Head, Living Foodz said, “Living Foodz is the undisputed leader in the food and lifestyle genre and as we move into our second year, we will continue to live up to our motto of ‘making food fun’.

The ‘Obsessed with Food’ campaign amalgamates the elements of fun and food and conveys our channel’s ethos effectively. We hope to strengthen the connect with our viewers through the campaign.”
