This opened up an opportunity where we felt that Licious, a D2C, farm-to-fork platform, found space in the Bigg Boss house. Hence the idea of a Licious Greed Zone germinated for the meat lovers in the house. We co-created a contest on the Licious app to drive audience engagement and give the viewers the “Power to Choose” from the Licious Menu. For the first time ever, viewers decided on the menu that goes inside the house keeping in mind the indulgences and cravings of the housemates. Hence the brand became a part of the narrative and added to the immersive experience of the show.”
