Snickers Sweetening the Deal for Vegetarians
Client: Snickers
Industry: Consumer Goods
Objective: To drive home a very specific positioning approach to a completely new category of consumers in a manner guaranteed to ensure recall.
Product: MotionMagix Interactive Wall, Multi-touch Magix Kiosk
Brief: Snickers is among the most loved chocolate brands in the world with a well-known positioning. With a large vegetarian population in India Snickers saw an opportunity to take a unique positioning as a completely vegetarian chocolate and chose to make a big push into the markets identified as having a substantial number of people fitting the target profile. They held events in malls across such locations that included a high degree of interactivity. On the Interactive Wall visitors were invited to assemble a Snickers bar complete with a prominent “Green Dot” designating the vegetarian nature of the finished product. The Wall ensured very high visibility at the location. In an innovative demonstration of the offline-online connect there was also a game that the visitors could play on an Interactive Kiosk to claim a free Snickers bar – but only if they shared the experience on their personal Facebook Page. Visitors were clamouring to play the game & then log into their personal Facebook accounts to share the experience as also the brand positioning thus extending the reach of the promotion from the location to all over the web via the thousands of friends of each booth visitor. An innovative way to multiply the visibility of the brand beyond the boundaries of the physical site !
Impact: The new positioning for Snickers as a “Vegetarian” product was amply demonstrated – both on location & in the social media world in a truly memorable manner.
