Overview

Background

Halloween is the biggest night of the year for candy brands. We were tasked with making M&M’S the candy of Halloween, in a way that let the whole country join the fun.

Execution

We broadcast the haunting live in the longest ever Facebook live feed, circumventing the site’s 4-hour maximum live broadcast length to break their previous record by 12.2 days. We linked the feed to our Shopify page, so Halloweeners could have the candy shipped anywhere in the country with a single click. Boxes were sold in 3 levels of hauntedness: Lightly Haunted, Mediumly Spooked, or Extra Super Creepy depending on where they were placed in the house. The campaign ran from October 13 - 31st, 2017, and was targeted at the growing number of Halloween lovers all around New Zealand.
