Celebrating Culinary Memories
Under the leadership of Priya Sharma, Managing Director of McCormick India-Southeast Asia, the campaign seeks to honor the role of McCormick products in shaping memorable meal moments. “We aim to help our consumers recreate cherished culinary memories within a modern lifestyle context,” she shared. The brand’s newly redesigned packaging is a testament to this mission, ensuring McCormick remains an essential companion for home cooks of every skill level.
