Pulse Candy Brings Spider-Man Into the City
DS Group partnered with Spider-Man for Pulse Candy in an integrated consumer engagement campaign designed to merge entertainment with brand communication.
The OOH execution was conceptualised and delivered by MOMS Outdoor, which transformed urban spaces into immersive storytelling canvases.
“Even Spider-Man Cannot Resist Pulse”
The campaign was built around the idea “Even Spider-Man Cannot Resist Pulse.”
By placing the superhero inside a distinctly Indian brand context, the creative gave the collaboration a playful and locally relevant twist.
The message was simple, immediate, and easy to understand from a distance.
Spider-Man’s Web Becomes the OOH Device
The most distinctive part of the execution was the use of Spider-Man’s web across multiple outdoor formats.
Rather than treating each placement as a flat advertising surface, the campaign extended the visual language beyond conventional frames.
This helped connect separate media assets into one larger visual experience.
From Branding to Immersive Storytelling
MOMS Outdoor designed the campaign to make people stop, notice, and engage rather than simply pass by another branded message.
The creative use of physical formats helped turn the city itself into part of the story.
This approach blended the spectacle of entertainment marketing with the recognition of a familiar FMCG brand.

- Spider-Man provides instant cultural recognition.
- The campaign uses a clear and memorable central idea.
- Extending the web beyond standard formats creates stronger visual impact.
- Multiple OOH placements work together as one storytelling system.
- The collaboration connects entertainment with everyday consumer branding.
