Collaboration With Other Brands + Creating Opportunities For Fans To Meet Their Favorite Personalities

After all, everyone loves free stuff and surprises, right? Let’s create a memorable experience as it is the season of love, to organize an activation for audiences to be in for a pleasant surprise such as brands collaborating with other businesses to create a limited edition collection and engage with a myriad of KOLs to personally hand-deliver the products to their fans. Are you screaming in excitement? Because I AM!! *screams*

And if you’re wondering, will this strategy employ surprise, delight, or even urge trials during this Valentine season? The answer is, yes! Take a look at this example from one of our successful past campaigns where Wall’s Cornetto partnered with local florists, 50GRAM, to introduce Cornetto Black Hojicha-inspired bouquets for Valentine’s Day.

If you’re still scratching your head over what to gift your loved one this Valentine’s Day this year, ice cream and a bouquet of flowers sure sounds like a good idea!

In line with the launch and to further create buzz, Wall’s Cornetto also then engaged with influencers to share social postings, announcing their efforts to hand-deliver a special Cornetto Black Hojicha bouquet to lucky winners and asking audiences to screencap image of the bouquet and tag their loved ones in the post for a chance to win and meet their favorite personalities.

Not only did Wall’s Cornetto receive a ton of participation in conjunction with the follow-to-win approach, but fans had an interactive experience as the brand provided a memorable experience up to their doorstep. Without a doubt, this activation helped the brand to reach new, relevant audiences and allowed Wall’s Cornetto to leverage user-generated content to introduce a new ice cream experience.

Continuing its unconventional and creative ways of celebration, Calpis had also launched a similar activation where the brand collaborated with 50GRAM for an adorable baby pink bouquet with a bottle of their limited edition flavor of Calpis Cherry Blossom.
