Ferrero India's new campaign strikes an emotional chord, all about good vibes
Ferrero India, part of Ferrero Group, one of the manufacturers of sweet, packaged products, has launched a new campaign for Confetteria Raffaello – 'Say Hello with Raffaello', starring the actor, Medha Shankr . The new film captures the emotional essence of the brand, enjoying moments that don't need grand words but just a thoughtful gesture. The new Raffaello film showcases the brand's blend of indulgence and warmth, which strengthens human bonds. It tells the story of Raffaello's unique layers of fragrant coconut flakes, smooth and creamy filling and the delicate core of a whole almond, symbolising the many textures of love in modern times. Set in a cozy cafe, the film narrative unfolds with Shankr sharing a light-hearted coffee date with a young man. As he intently sketches her portrait in a notebook, Shankr curiously asks what he's drawing. She takes the notebook and is surprised to find a charming portrait of herself, an unexpected gesture that delights her. Touched by the moment, the man offers her a Raffaello, asking shyly, 'Be mine forever?' Shankr responds with a warm smile and a heartfelt 'yes.' As they share a glance filled with quiet affection, Shankr closes the film with 'Even when you're not listening, love is calling your name out.' The film encapsulates Raffaello's belief that a thoughtful gesture can leave a lasting impression. Zoher Kapuswala, marketing head, pralines, Ferrero India said, 'With our latest film, we continue to build on Raffaello's emotional universe, one that's pure, soft, sincere and deeply relatable. With Medha continuing to represent the brand, this film captures a slice of everyday romance that feels both genuine and meaningful.' With the latest campaign led by Shankr, the brand reinforces Raffaello's position as the perfect way to start a meaningful connection - 'Say hello with Raffaello', as Raffaello transforms a simple 'hello' into a gesture full of warmth and meaning, creating memorable moments of connections. A message that resonates with today's consumers seeking thoughtful and refined gifting options. Watch the video here:

Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets outperform in groundbreaking indulgence study
As part of their regional launch in the GCC, Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets, brands synonymous with indulgence, have taken a bold step into the world of science to redefine how we experience indulgence. Their mission? To measure indulgence in numbers, delivering tangible proof of their commitment to sensory delight. In partnership with MyndPlay, pioneers in neuroscience and emotion-tracking technology, Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets embarked on a groundbreaking study that blended cutting-edge technology with timeless sensory experiences. Using EEG technology, the experiment sought to decode how the human brain reacts to refined sensory stimuli. Participants – including some of the region's most prominent media figures and influencers such as Brianna Fade, Mohammad Ismael, Ahmad Qassem, Jad Chehayeb from Dubai TV, Alanoud Badr, Nirvana Abdul, Maryam Zehi, Mashael Jamal, Rahaf Al Harbi, and Zeynab El Helw – were guided through an immersive exploration of the five senses. Each sense was tested with meticulously curated stimuli: a private violin performance for sound, a golden skyline for sight, soft sand for touch, the rich aroma of oud for smell, and a curated coffee-tasting experience to awaken the palate. With each encounter, the EEG device recorded precise pleasure points, creating a numerical map of indulgence. Once participants had completed these sensory experiences, they were introduced to a new and unexpected indulgence: Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets. Blindfolded and fitted with EEG headsets, participants first unwrapped, touched, smelled, and finally tasted the creamy, nut-filled Ferrero Rocher and the delicately fragrant, coconut-encrusted Raffaello Tablets. As the blindfolds were removed, they visually absorbed the iconic golden Ferrero Rocher and the radiant, coconut-dusted Raffaello Tablets, marveling at their exquisite presentation. Reactions ranged from quiet awe to enthusiastic praise, with several participants declaring the experience 'unlike anything else.' The findings were clear and conclusive: Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets delivered the highest peak indulgence scores of any sensory experience tested. With an unprecedented level of prolonged indulgence measured at every step of the sensorial journey, the Tablets outperformed all other stimuli combined. Participants unanimously declared the Tablets as their favorite indulgent experience, with many ranking it far above even their second choice, the live violin performance. This experiment coincides with the launch of Ferrero Rocher and Raffaello Tablets in the GCC, marking a new chapter for the iconic brands. Designed to elevate the chocolate experience, Ferrero Rocher Tablets are available in Original, Dark, and Hazelnut and Almond varieties, while Raffaello Tablets combine white chocolate, coconut, and crunchy almonds. With their blend of textures, aromas, and flavors, these Tablets promise to deliver the most indulgent moments, one bite at a time. Watch the full experience:

Stunning Spanish island that looks so much like the Caribbean it's used as a dupe on TV – & it regularly hits 28C in May
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE SMALLEST of the Balearic islands is regularly confused for the Caribbean, thanks to its crystal-clear waters and beaches backed by dunes. Formentera sits just south of Ibiza, and is considerably less crowded than its famous neighbour. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 7 Formentera is often compared the Caribbean for its beaches Credit: Alamy 7 The island is the smallest in the Balearic Islands Credit: Alamy 7 It takes less than 40 minutes to reach the island via ferry, from Ibiza Credit: Alamy This hidden spot is known for having a relaxed vibe and is far less busy that Ibiza, which is about 40 minutes away via ferry. The island's beaches are even often voted as Europe's best and have ranked in the top 10 worldwide. One of the island top beaches is Playa Illetes. This Caribbean-like beach has previously been voted the best beach in Europe and ranked in at number six in the world. It sits on the west site of the narrow peninsula and features sunbeds and even a nudist area. In fact, this beach contributes to the island's nickname of 'little Caribbean' after it was used by chocolate company Mars to double up as the Caribbean for its Bounty bar adverts. Italian chocolate makers Ferrero also used the island for an advert for their coconut flavoured balls, Raffaello. A small fee has to be paid when you access the small peninsula where Illetes, Levante and El Tiburón beaches are located by car or scooter. Alternatively, there is Playa de Levante - a quiet bay with small rocky areas. This spot is popular with nudists and is set against a backdrop of sand dunes. One of Spain's oldest beach bars that was loved by A-List stars forced to close — as fans say goodbye to €4 beers and sea views Most of the beaches across the island feature white sand, clear waters and most have shallow waters. Famous stars have also loved the island in the past, including Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Madonna and Leonardo DiCaprio. For visitors who like to hike, there are several areas on the island to explore including old lighthouses, ancient caves and sunset spots. On the other hand, for visitors who prefer water-based activities, the island is a great spot of see marine life whilst snorkelling or diving. Formentera is also home to artisan markets - many of which sell products designed and made in workshops on the island. As for places to eat or drink, there are plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes across the island. Many serve Mediterranean food, often with an Italian twist and the eateries will range from luxury establishments to rustic gems. Due to the island's long maritime history, many of the dishes served across the island include fresh fish, cheese, dried figs and honey. 7 In addition to great beaches, the island also boasts many restaurants, shops and markets Credit: Alamy 7 Water-based activities are popular on the island too, with snorkelling and diving available Credit: Alamy 7 Some of the beaches even have nudist areas Credit: Alamy Staying on the island also suits all budgets, as there are a number of low-key hostels as well as more luxury apartments. Temperatures can get hot with average highs of up to 24C throughout May, and on warmer days it regularly hits 27C and 28C. The island itself measures 20km long and only 2km wide and is mainly flat. To get to the island, visitors will need to catch a boat from Ibiza. A number of ferries travel between Ibiza and Formentera all-year-round and land at the island's La Savina port. The Sun's Sophie Swietochowski recently visited a Spanish island off the coast of Africa with laid-back beach resorts and 22C winters. Plus, a Spanish island with award-winning beaches has new year-round UK flights.
