Mondelēz International's Oreos Take The Cake
#ForTheWin: 1/29-2/2
Perceptual Advisors is delivering on the promise of a new kind of communications firm: An all senior-level team, all the time, from strategy to execution. The new year is bringing more remarkable new talent to the firm and with it, new opportunities for clients to draw on deep multi-sector and multi-discipline experience.
In the spirit of celebrating great work from peers that has caught our attention, we're starting a new series: #ForTheWin. This week's shout out is for Russell Dyer and the team at Mondelēz International for the launch of Oreo’s ‘Space Dunk’ cookies. True to the playfulness of the Oreo brand (and their growing range of special edition cookies), the ‘Space Dunk’ announcement was fun, content rich and visually appealing. The launch was widely covered across mainstream and specialist media and in a smart additional twist, you can buy the cookies and win a trip to the edge of space.
