Scope: PR, event activation

Details: With picnics gaining in popularity in Hong Kong, Bel and DDB Live saw this as an opportunity for brand engagement and product sampling.

The company's first-ever cheese activation event in Hong Kong involved giving out samples of Mini Babybel, Cheez Dipper and Belcube from its 'The Laughing Cow Picnic Truck' on 16 and 17 May. Staring tomorrow, Belcube will also be available in 510 7-Eleven stores all over Hong Kong.

A branded-picnic will take place this long weekend (23 to 25 May) at two of Hong Kong’s most popular family-outing locations: Cyberport and Jordon Park. Afterwards, 400 consumers who upload their picnic pictures to Facebook or Instagram will be rewarded with Bel picnic gift sets and helium balloons. 

Press release quote: 

Milano Chen, sales and marketing manager for Greater China of Bel:

Our activation campaign aims to take the seriousness out of cheese. We have developed a campaign that really allows consumers to experience the fun and playful side of Bel to the Hong Kong market.
