Unique Ad Campaigns Celebrating Raksha Bandhan
When Raksha Bandhan knocks on the door, brands and businesses innovatively create engagement videos and ad campaigns to boost their sales and establish their brand reputation. Some popular and much loved Raksha Bandhan campaigns are discussed below.
1. Amazon – #DeliverTheLove
Raksha Bandhan isn’t just about gifting precious items or hampers to siblings. It is about conveying the message of how much we love and care for our siblings. At times, it is also about the messenger rather than the message. Amazon created a campaign video representing the same, while displaying how a brother can go to any length to see his sister’s smile. They named this digital video #DeliverTheLove.
2. Melorra – #CloserWithMelorra
The love between brothers and sisters stays intact at every stage of life. Melorra released its Raksha Bandhan campaign video emphasising the ageless sibling bond. The nostalgic video not only rekindles the merriment between siblings, but also displays that distance cannot reduce the delight of festivity and joy of exchanging gifts on Raksha Bandhan. The core of the campaign is that Melorra is coming up with more than 17,000 lightweight and trendy gold jewellery choices that can be delivered throughout India and abroad.
3. Tanishq – #SistersByChoice
#SistersByChoice, Tanishq’s digital campaign video, illustrates how the endearing bond between the sister and sister-in-law strengthens over time. The video displays that the relationship of the sister-in-law and sister has evolved from in-laws to #SistersByChoice. Traditionally, sisters tie ‘Lumba Rakhi’ to their sisters-in-law as a symbol of love and care on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. This ad beautifully displays the evolving dynamics of their bond and how a sister-in-law is not only the better half of her brother but also a partner in crime for a sister.
4. Cadbury – #MyFirstRakhi
Cadbury has gone out-of-the-box to create a heart-warming campaign to help physically disabled children feel the touch of Rakhi in their hands. Cadbury Celebrations partnered with Social Hardware, an organisation that works to provide disabled people with assistive devices. This Raksha Bandhan campaign video recommends a low-cost prosthetic hand, equipped with flex sensors and a vibration motor that allows feeling the touch of almost everything. The leading confectionery brand has determined to distribute this sensor-based prosthetic arm to enable brothers to have the feel of touch of Rakhi thread, which they have been missing for a long time.
5. Ferns N Petals – #BandhanPyarKa
Conceptualised by its creative team, Ferns N Petals has unveiled its digital campaign #BandhanPyarKa considering the festivity of Raksha Bandhan.

6. Gulf Oil – #SurakshaBandhan
India’s leading vehicle engine lubricant brand, Gulf Oil, launched a digital video as a part of its Superfleet, Surakha Bandhan campaign to value the heavy transport vehicle drivers who are the power behind the smooth supply of essentials across the country. The video is based on the theme of Raksha Bandhan and displays how our close ones need to change their perspective. The video portrays the selfless work of a truck driver and the beautiful sibling bond between him and his sister.
7. Avni – #PeriodMeRakhi
