Cadbury Dairy Milk as a brand has evolved from just another chocolate to an array of products.

When the brand was initially launched it was meant to be for children. Their main target group was always children who would pester their parents to have a bar of dairy milk. But as time evolved they wanted to tap other segments in the market. Hence their famous ad Kuch Khaas hain Zindagi which targeted the youth segment. It had right ingredients: a fun loving girl and cricket the religion of India. The ad was extremely successful and tapped the youth brigade of the country to get them hooked to chocolates. Indians have a sweet tooth inherently and we like to have sweets as companion at every celebration big or small. Though its a huge industry, it is a highly unorganized one. Hence, the Cyrus Broacha ad Khaane wale ko khaane ka bahaana chahiye which showed a wedding scene and traditional sweets were replaced smartly by Cadbury Dairy Milk. It was done to seed in the minds of consumers that a CDM can be a good replacement for our ladoos and pedas. Cadbury has a vision that CDM being seen as a right replacement for the Sweets. To continue this they signed Amitabh Bachchan and the Pappu Pass Ho gaya again giving a similar message. They also launched a premium version of CDM i.e Cadbury Silk to target the metros. And finally now they are targeting the entire family and hence we can see CDM on dinner table with the tagline Kuch Meetha Ho Jaayein.
