During August, chocolate malt drink Milo is the brand which has achieved the highest uplift in its Ad Awareness over the past month.

The rise coincides with its latest advertisement targeting parents to buy Milo for their children by showing the busy schedule of a child. It follows the classic branding of Milo, as a healthy drink for active individuals.

Launched a month ago, the advertisement features a child getting through a busy day. He runs after the school bus, pays attention in class and plays football, coming home to a cup of the chocolate malt drink. The tagline: ‘stay active and focused with Milo’. The video has garnered over 1 million views on YouTube alone.
