Mars Wrigley India is expanding its iconic Boomer brand into the booming ₹800 crore lollipop segment with the launch of Boomer Lollipops-a playful yet punchy twist on its beloved chewing gum. The brand is setting out to shake up a category often seen as childlike, bringing Boomer’s trademark fun and energy to a new generation.
Available in three bold flavors- Strawberry, Orange, and Watermelon – Boomer Lollipops are crafted to connect with the vibrant, expressive spirit of today’s youth. The campaign encourages self-confidence, individuality, and standing up to bullying – core values embodied by Boomer’s new face, Jasprit Bumrah.
In the launch film, the story unfolds on a cricket field where a young player is being intimidated by a group of rivals. Just as the tension peaks, he unwraps a Boomer Lollipop and transforms the atmosphere with a burst of cool, thanks to an unexpected wave of swagger. Narrated by Bumrah in his calm, composed tone, the film flips the script on bullying with a fun, feel-good twist—showing that true confidence needs no words.
Nikhil Rao, Chief Marketing Officer at Mars Wrigley India, said:
“Boomer has always stood for fun and flavor, especially its iconic strawberry profile. With Boomer Lollipops, we’re extending this legacy into a fast-growing space with new energy. Backed by Jasprit Bumrah’s unique blend of calm and cool, our campaign—crafted by DDB and Essence Mediacom – brings back the attitude and excitement that lollipops have been missing. From factory floor to retail shelves and ad screens, this launch is designed to make a bold mark.”
The campaign will roll out across digital, retail, and mass media, aiming to position Boomer Lollipop front and center in consumers’ minds – and at the front of the store.
