Ever wondered why is India the second most populated country in the world? With Condoms being freely distributed in Government hospitals and cheapest available product in the pharmacy, there is still a sense of ignorance and the latex is looked down upon.

Durex’s recent campaign, India Hates Condoms is on point, and clearly managed to get all the attention it wanted from their audience & and made all the other competitor brands in the industry cry, “we’re late”.

Marketing Foreplay

Before unveiling their campaign and finding out the reason why India Hates Condoms, Durex tried playing safely with numbers asking the followers on their timelines about their preferences. The brand received a massive response from their followers and the campaign hashtag trended for about 48 hours.
