Coca-Cola has launched its new Dashain Campaign with the theme ‘My mom makes my Dashain special’. This campaign conveys the message that our mothers work selflessly and tirelessly to make our Dashain and Tihar special, to pour every bit of happiness into our festive season, a statement issued by the company said. The special ingredient of Dashain is always our mother, and her love.
Acknowledging the vital role mothers play in the festive season, Coke has launched labels which encompasses six different endearing forms of the way we call our mother, i.e Aama, Mai, Muwa, Mamu, Mummy, and Ma. These labels are inserted in the place of regular labels.
