OVERVIEW

Description

The ‘Crème de la Creme Egg Cafe’ - a dedicated pop-up haven where fans could celebrate their love for Cadbury Creme Egg.

This eggstravagant and immersive Creme Egg mecca served Creme Egg toasties, amongst other recipes, on demand. But it was so much more than just a cafe. We let fans experience their favourite chocolatey treat in a host of new ways.

Everything in the café was designed to spark social sharing – from the ballpit, to eggy ‘crime scenes’ and innovative ‘push for Creme Egg’ ordering button – even the recipes were based on social trends to maximise talkability – and shares…

Execution

The ‘Crème de la Creme Egg Café’ was a three floor pop-up space in Soho, London, UK. Open for seven weeks, seats for the café sold out in just one hour - with people regularly queuing around the block to get in. Every design detail was executed in Creme Egg’s cheeky and irreverent style, and the use of brand colours and our hero product ensured branding flowed consistently through the whole experience - and translated through social media sharing.

An exclusive launch party kicked off the campaign – with over 100 journalists plus key influencers turning up to the opening night. Café merchandise, including distinctive tea cosies, was seeded with superfans, ensuring excitement for the café drowned out negativity. Partnered with foodie influencer Martha Collinson to create further trend-led Creme Egg recipes to create at home, extending the reach of the pop-up.

Outcome

The café launch generated over 282 pieces of media coverage, including 16 nationals and key titles that set the agenda for our target audience including Stylist, Urban Junkies and Trend Hunter. The campaign delivered a positive sentiment of media coverage over 95% - in stark contrast to 2015 where coverage was dominated by negativity. On average, 7.1million people have seen each Facebook post about the Creme Egg Cafe. The 40k (and counting) consumers, media and influencers posting about the cafe online have led to over 69 million potential earned impressions. Over 8,000 people visited the café across seven weeks, with nearly 3,000 Creme Egg Toasties sold and over £16,500 raised for The Prince’s Trust, a youth charity that helps young people aged 13 to 30 get into jobs, education and training.
