​​of Media, at an annual event organised by the Delhi Advertising Club. Pass Pass is India’s favourite branded mouth freshener from the confectionary basket of the DS Group.

In what was a unique and extremely relevant positioning for the brand, the Pass Pass brand slug was inserted on the front page of Hindustan Times, capturing a handshaking image of Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi & Pakistan PM Mr. Nawaz Sharif. The visit of Mr. Sharif, during PM Narendra Modi’s swearing-in, was a historical moment for both countries. The brand captured the milestone event with the innovative use of the Pass Pass slug, “Raho Hamesha Pass Pass”, making it a true Pass Pass moment.

S​peaking on the award, Mr. CK Sharma, Business Head- Mouth Freshener said, “We are delighted that PassPass innovative content has been felicitated .
