BENGALURU, India, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — After two years of being boxed up, diverse connections and meaningful conversations have become more significant than ever. Throughout time, the spirit of sharing has remained uninhibited despite physical boundaries. As the world opens its heart to newer experiences, the craving for eloquent bonding continues.

Table for Everyone by Black & White Ginger Ale is a manifestation of this new world where the concept of sharing unleashes fresh dialogues. Amongst other aspects, it aims to influence discussions that enable people to discover similarities in differences for a more enriched experience. This unique platform creates new spaces and lays the table for meaningful conversations that forge new or rekindle existing friendships over unique culinary experiences.

Leading the way to bring the ethos of the campaign alive, Black & White Ginger Ale launches a unique game called ‘Cards for Sharing’. The game is a playful yet inclusive device to encourage sharing through a few light-hearted, fun questions and some stimulating topics. It is designed in a way that when the right questions are asked, genuine answers come through, unravelling a whole new side of the narrator. The game and concept make sharing easy and exciting, transforming an ordinary table into a more inclusive and democratic one, where rich fulfilling dialogues take place. The brand believes that the game can lay out a stage where people can find new connections and reclaim experiences along the way thereby salvaging one’s beliefs to widen their horizons. Further to this belief the brand has brought alive the ‘Table for Everyone’ experience alive across the country with over 1000 people taking a seat at the table and discovering more about each other with the ‘Cards for Sharing’. The ‘Table for Everyone’ will continue to show up across the country over the next 5 months with pop-ups in different cities.

The brand has released two campaign films where people are seen sharing a table with their friends, peers, strangers and so on, reading out the questions from the cards and sharing their unscripted and heartfelt answers. Written and conceptualised by Virtue, the creative agency powered by Vice, the video showcases a diverse plethora of people sharing a table across spectrums of gender, ability, ethnicity and more. With every card played, a new piece of the narrator is unveiled leaving the ‘table’ a little more enriched.  

Sharing her thoughts on the launch, Shweta Jain, Chief Business Development Officer: Luxury, Reserve & Craft – India & South Asia at Diageo, said “Black & White Ginger Ale is made of sharing over moments of meaningful connections and conversations, moments that it has been activating at the Table for Everyone series across food festivals, restaurants & even at home. We created ‘Cards for Sharing’ game as an enabler of sharing – triggering conversations that let people bring out their own authentic selves and share a diversity of personal experiences & perspectives.”

Sharing the experience of creating the game concept and launch campaign, Hayden Scott, Senior Creative Director, Virtue, the creative agency powered by Vice said, “The stories we share are what bring us closer to each other. Why not find a way for people to sit together, share, listen and get to know each other better? So, we created Cards for Sharing a simple card game that encourages conversations and revelations. Black & White, a brand that is quite literally made for sharing was the perfect partner to make this idea come to life with our campaign Table for Everyone.”

Alongside the launch of the game, Black & White Ginger Ale’s Table for Everyone is hosting unique experiences across multiple locations to spread the magic of sharing. The backdrops of which are scenic locations, be it a villa experience at Goa, the Hilltops of Shillong or cruises at Kolkata. Various cohorts will be joining to share their life experiences at these tables.

Pride of Cows’ New Campaign Encourages Consumers to Ask: “What’s the Source of Your Milk?”

~ Single-origin milk brand challenges norms with a high-impact, 360° transparency movement across print, digital, and influencer platforms

MUMBAI, India, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Taking a fresh approach that questions long-standing dairy practices, Pride of Cows—a truly single-origin, farm-owned milk brand—has launched a provocative new campaign that asks a powerful, thought-provoking question: “What’s the source of your milk?”

At a time when discerning consumers are demanding more transparency about what they consume, this campaign urges people to pause and question the origins of the milk they bring home. It goes beyond marketing—urging the industry to be more open about where milk really comes from.

Through this initiative, Pride of Cows puts traceability at the heart of its communication. The campaign brings attention to the brand’s most powerful differentiator—milk produced 100% from its own Pride of Cows farm near Pune, where over 5,000 cows are nurtured with global-best practices and utmost care. This farm-to-home model ensures complete control over the production process, offering unmatched purity, hygiene, and consistency.

Commenting on the campaign, Akshali Shah, Executive Director of Parag Milk Foods Ltd., said, “Through this initiative, we’re inviting consumers to pause and think about something they often take for granted—the source of their milk. It’s a simple yet powerful question that aligns with Pride of Cows’ long-standing promise of quality and transparency. As a brand, we’ve always believed that trust is built not just on taste, but on knowing where your food comes from. This campaign is our way of turning that belief into a wider conversation.”

“What’s the Source of Your Milk?” is a full-fledged 360-degree campaign, strategically rolled out across high-visibility platforms to spark mass consumer engagement. Premium print ads across national publications are designed to make readers stop and reflect on their daily dairy choices. On the digital front, a mix of snackable video content, storytelling, and interactive formats on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and programmatic platforms decode the meaning and benefits of single-origin milk.

In a market dominated by brands that procure milk from fragmented third-party sources, Pride of Cows stands apart by owning and operating its own state-of-the-art dairy farm. Every cow is fed a scientifically balanced diet, milking is done via automated and contactless systems, and the product is delivered directly to consumers through a robust cold-chain network—eliminating any ambiguity or human touchpoints in the process.

About Pride of Cows

Pride of Cows is India’s first and only premium single-origin milk brand from the house of Parag Milk Foods Ltd. Sourced exclusively from the company’s own world-class farm near Pune, the brand delivers fresh, pure, and untouched milk straight to consumers’ doorsteps in major Indian cities. Pride of Cows embodies a rare combination of ethics, innovation, and traceability—setting a new benchmark in the Indian dairy landscape.
