India – Following a series of cheeky Children’s Day billboards, BigBasket and Talented reunite for a heartwarming Christmas campaign that celebrates the magic of generosity and festive cheer.

Produced by Pu Productions, the heartfelt campaign film ‘Judy the Star’ tells the story of an elderly couple who accidentally spread Christmas cheer with the help of a broken phone, a wrong order, and a BigBasket delivery executive.

Commenting on the film, director Deepak Thomas said, “Most wrong orders end up in a long chat with customer service. But it was wonderful to paint a world where a broken phone results in twelve huge stars at your doorstep. It was a delight filming Judy and the BigBasket delivery executive finding their way around my favourite nooks, crannies, and bylanes of Bandra and lighting up the neighbourhood.”

Raagaleena Sripada, marketing head at Big Basket Retail, said, “This campaign was designed to showcase the joy and convenience of celebrating Christmas with us. Whether it’s decorating your home with trees and ornaments, indulging in cakes and cookies, or finding the perfect gifts like toys and electronics—everything you need for the season is delivered to your doorstep in just 10 minutes. By doing this, we also wanted to highlight the spirit of giving, the true essence of Christmas.” 

Leena Gupta and Aakash Desai from Talented added, “It is rare to see a truly Indian Christmas represented in advertising media. While the festival has wider themes of generosity and giving, the media portrayal has never moved beyond Santa Claus and reindeer. We made a very conscious decision to show an authentic X-mas via the lens of an old couple—another cohort that is treated like a monolith in advertising. All these representation decisions resulted in a heartwarming fictional story, not too far from our own non-fictional experience of Christmas.” 

India –  In celebration of Children’s Day, BigBasket, an India-based online grocery delivery platform, has partnered with advertising agency Talented for a campaign offering frustrated parents a quick toy delivery service to end their kids’ boredom.

The multi-city outdoor campaign is part of BigBasket’s push into the quick commerce race. Alongside its usual offerings—fruits, vegetables, pulses, and poultry—customers can now have a wide range of toys and games delivered to their doorstep in just 10 minutes.

BigBasket aims to assist frustrated parents dealing with bored children by providing a quick and easy way to entertain them when all other options have been exhausted.

Speaking on the campaign, Raagaleena Sripada, marketing head at Big Basket Retail, said, “So many aspects of parenting have evolved—from how we show our affection to kids to how we apologise to them. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the ease with which the kids get bored! You may try to entertain them with all kinds of traditional or known games, but you will still land with a bored kid and a frustrated parent! ”

“Our attempt with this campaign is to offer a quick rescue from such situations—by delivering a great set of toy brands such as Lego, Hotwheels, Hasbro, and many more in 10 minutes,” Sripada added. 

PG Aditiya, co-founder and CCO at Talented, further explained, “As a parent myself, I know that keeping children stimulated is a challenge, and the only ammo we have is dated methods we grew up with. So with this campaign, we showed tough love to parents and parent-adjunct figures who don’t want to own up to the fact that they’re objectively unentertaining. We banked on their deep-seated insecurity to pitch more child-friendly ways of spending time together using toys and games from BigBasket.”

The outdoor campaign is currently live in Bengaluru, Pune, and Hyderabad, with additional activations planned for the rest of the month.
