Overview
5W was tasked by My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream to ideate and create a 360-degree program to deepen brand awareness and increase share of voice during peak ice cream season.
Strategy
From May to August, 5W created a summer campaign strategy aimed to engage with target audiences and ensure an immediate groundswell of media coverage and social content. The campaign revolved around four components: storytelling through social; deepen connections; creating an experience; and meeting consumers where they are. To accomplish social engagement, 5W partnered with influencers on a Summer Content Series through Instagram. These relationships were driven by "Surprise & Delight" gifts to media, influencers and consumers.
5W hosted a takeover event at the colorful, inspiring, and IG-worthy Museum of Ice Cream to marry the concept of wonderful imagery with the history of the product. Furthermore, 5W executed a co-branded, in-store sampling event on National Ice Cream Day at Winky Lux Cosmetics to directly reach the consumers.
