We moved beyond generic AI visuals to invent a full-fledged animated universe for Nilon’s GGP, creating beloved characters and relatable story that audiences demanded to see more of.
In the age of AI, every brand is experimenting. But most are stuck creating soulless animations. For Nilons’ Ginger Garlic Paste (GGP)—a category traditionally treated as a mere commodity—we saw a unique opportunity to do the opposite: use AI not as a trick, but as a tool for genuine storytelling and connection.
Our insight was simple: behind every meal using GGP is a household, a story, and a relationship. So we asked, what if the ginger and garlic themselves had a relationship?
This thinking gave birth to Adrak Bhai and Lehsun Aunty, two charming, AI-generated cartoon characters designed to look like their core ingredients. We built a mini-series around them, depicting their life filled with relatable couple activities, hobbies, and humorous squabbles. This wasn’t just an ad; it was episodic content that audiences could connect with on a personal level.
The campaign resonated deeply because it prioritized relatability over reality. People weren’t just watching products; they were following a story. The audience engagement was overwhelming, with viewers consistently asking for more episodes, proving we had built something far more valuable than a single viral video: a lasting campaign with beloved characters.
The success was so profound that we scaled the concept into a full-fledged AI-generated cinema advertisement, taking Adrak Bhai and Lehsun Aunty from social media stars to the big screen.
This case study proves that with the right creative strategy, even the most everyday product can become the star of its own unforgettable story. We don’t just use new tools; we use them to build worlds.
