HÄAGEN-DAZS — REAL MOMENTS
How can an ice cream made only from real ingredients bring real meaning to Christmas?
Our Approach
Every Christmas, Häagen-Dazs launches a few festive flavours, served in pints or as special desserts in its retail stores across the region.
But more often than not, these flavours will be introduced to consumers in a tactical manner, with little brand messaging.
So for our first Häagen-Dazs project with General Mills, we wanted to do a little bit more.
At the heart of Häagen-Dazs are 100% real, high-quality ingredients that not many people know about. On the flipside, modern-day Christmas isn’t all that real anymore. From a season all about sharing, it has become about gifting.
So with all that in mind, we traveled across 3 countries, brought couples together, told a few real, meaningful stories and ate too much ice cream.
