Description
We wanted to get people excited about milk again. So to create interest we launched a new product that would redefine the future of milk drinking. That product was a perfectly average glass that we called ‘The Milk Glass.’ Basically, we made a big deal out of nothing. The glasses were made available to the public at themilkglass.ca.
Execution
The writing takes it’s subject – The Milk Glass – very seriously. Arguably too seriously. By describing something perfectly average as something extra extraordinary we are able to subvert the convetions of ‘product innovations’. The video operates in a similar fashion. It’s a whole lot of nothing presented as something monumental.
Outcome
The glasses sold out in less than 24 hours. People were actually sharing pictures of their ‘Milk Glass’ full of milk. As a whole, the campaign led to a 10% increase in the purchase intent of milk. In fact, ‘The Milk Glass’ proved so successful that we launched a follow up holiday edition. And perhaps most importantly, we were able to redefine the future of milk drinking.
