1. Swiggy - #RealLifeSantas
One of the largest food delivery platforms of the country, Swiggy chose to celebrate their women delivery partners this Christmas. Titled ‘What does Santa really look like?’, the digital film draws a parallel between the legendary Santa Claus and a woman delivery partner who balances both her personal and professional life - leaving a gift for her sleeping son and then embarking on the day’s journey to deliver food and happiness to others. Be it Santa Claus or food delivery partners - both characters have always been associated with men. With this campaign, the brand tries to break the stereotype and highlight the fact that it’s wonderful when people have equal opportunities, irrespective of gender.![Swiggy Real Life Santas](https://ittisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Swiggy-Real-Life-Santas.jpg)

With this campaign, Dogsee celebrates the fact that dogs, as Santa, shower us with unconditional love throughout the year and so Christmas is the perfect time to thank them for always being there.![Dogsee Chew Christmas Campaign](https://ittisa.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Dogsee-Chew-Thank-Your-Santa.jpg)
