Expect Leysha Basmati Rice to roll out the Yami Gautam Dhar push in phases rather than all at once.
For operators
Leysha Basmati Rice has signed Yami Gautam Dhar for a 360-degree campaign across TV, OTT, cinema, outdoor, digital and social, so retailers stocking packaged basmati should expect possible brand-led demand but wait for a start date before changing shelf or promotion plans.
Watch
Yami Gautam Dhar's first TV or OTT ad airing before the campaign's first product launch would mean the spend is front-loaded and rivals face a sharper shelf contest.
