Perhaps realizing that children would be attracted to any chocolate, irrespective of the brand, CDM targeted adults with their advertising since the early 1990s. Most, if not all, of Cadbury’s advertisements in India feature people over 18 years of age. • The message that CDM seems to be attempting to put across is this: “In every adult, there is a child - let that child express itself, give in to temptation, and satisfy his or her desire to sink teeth into a smooth, creamy, delicious chocolate”. This approach appears to be unique to Cadbury’s. • In 2003-2004 Amitabh Bachchan, was chosen, as he embodied the values of Cadbury as a brand and connected with all of India - mothers, teenagers, children, media persons and trader partners.

Second, considerable thought needs to be given to the precise value addition that the star brings to the communication idea, besides sheer presence. Third, the most effective celebrity endorsements occur when both brand and celebrity have equal status in the relationship. Fourth, even while most celebrity endorsements come at a fair expense (or investment), the expense itself must never be at the cost of media weights.
