Objective / insight

• Brands are using more and more technological tools within their advertising campaigns. This allows them to attract the attention of the viewers, knowing that they will show a greater interest for this type of campaign, which will have given them emotion.
• Consumers want to feel involved, concerned about what they see, and this will lead to a purchase. Brands have understood this and are increasing their ingenuity to involve their audience in their advertising campaigns.
• Through their advertisements, brands like Haribo call their customers to participate in an activity: making videos with AR lenses that will transform their voices into children’s voices and make them win gifts like a year’s supply of Haribo sweets.
• Last year, the Haribo Kids voice campaign made the consumers buy more candies from Haribo. Latest « Kids’ Voices » campaign comes as people are increasing their candy purchases during the holiday season.
• A large majority of the U.S. (about 90%) said that they celebrate the holidays’ season with chocolate and candy, while 80% will buy as much or more chocolate and candy than normal this year (survey conducted by the National Confectioners Association).
