PERK loses its way

PERK'S new rebranding strategy


Perk went for brand repositioning exercise in 2010 but i think it has failed to achieve what it wanted.
I remember the times when bollywood actress Preity Zinta used to endorse this brand from cadbury and the brand created sensation in the market.It created a new market for the waffer chocolates.
In the next phase,Bollywood actor Sharman Joshi was shown to communicate the "Take it lightly" (mood uplift) platform in a humorous way.

And now the latest.Perk Khao,Glucose Chadao. I think this campaign has created a wrong positioning for perk.It is now positioned as a medical product that helps to inject glucose.
Perk is changing its positioning frequently.However the positioning principle says that it must be consistent. So perk must quickly create a good positioning in the market before it is too late.It must also keep in mind that its competitor KIT KAT from Nestle is currently positioned better than it.
