– Push sees Cadbury partnering with legendary sticker brand Panini for third year of successful ‘Buy a Legend, Win a Legend’ promotion
– Campaign turns football legends including Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Jamie Redknapp into the iconic ‘shiny’ stickers coveted by Panini fans, to be found hidden in selected Cadbury packs
– Developed in partnership with creative agency ELVIS
Cadbury has launched a campaign to support the third year of its ‘Buy a Legend, Win a Legend’ promotion, which sees it teaming up with legendary sticker and collectibles brand Panini. The initiative was developed in partnership with creative agency ELVIS.
The campaign is part of a wider strategy centred on Cadbury’s partnership with the Premier League and seeks to drive purchases of its core chocolate range following the festive period.
The push, which stars football legends Ian Wright, Gary Neville, Jamie Redknapp, Michael Owen and Shay Given, taps into the universal appeal of collecting Panini stickers by making its legends immortal – turning them into the coveted shiny foil stickers, which can be found hidden in selected Cadbury packs.
Shoppers who buy one of the promotional Cadbury products are invited to ‘Find the Shiny, Win a Legend’. If their pack contains a Panini sticker, they win an experience with the featured football legend. Consumers who don’t find a sticker in their pack can visit legends.cadburyfc.com to scan their product and find out if they have won Premier League tickets or one of a selection of Panini prizes including 300 collector’s edition hardback albums, 300 softback albums with all the stickers to go inside, and 2,000 boxes of stickers: that’s 100 packs of stickers per winner.
The promotion is supported by social content featuring Jamie Redknapp and Gary Neville across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as well as on the football legends’ own social channels; plus out-of-home and in-store activity.
Media strategy and buying for the campaign is by Carat UK.
Pippa Rogers, Junior Brand Manager, Mondelēz, said: “We’re delighted to be joining forces with the legendary Panini as ‘Buy a Legend. Win a Legend’ returns for its third year. This unique and exciting campaign is sure to get consumers seeking out Cadbury chocolate as they look for the much-coveted shiny stickers and exciting Premier League prizes.”
Neale Horrigan, Creative Managing Partner, ELVIS, added: “This campaign represents the coming together of two legendary brands – Cadbury and Panini. Many of us have experienced the thrill of searching for that special sticker to complete our collection, and this work harnesses that feeling to get people buying Cadbury products.”
