Marketing Campaign: The Experience of Joy
Reddi-wip used these consumer insights to create a new, thought-provoking marketing campaign that prompts audiences to think seriously about the idea of joy. Their new ad features two New York little league teams who play against each other once a year. As with any competitive sport, there’s a winning team and a losing team. The winning team runs outside of the field to a table full of Reddi-wip to celebrate their win. The winning team begins a food fight with their cans of Reddi-wip while the losing team sulks in the dugout.
Storytelling: #ShareTheJoy
At this point in the scene, Reddi-wip asks viewers the question, “But Isn’t Joy Better When Shared?” As the losing team continues to sit in the dugout, disappointed, the winning team comes over and invites them to celebrate. There’s a moment of camaraderie and sportsmanship in the dugout before the losing team joins the winning team in the food fight with their cans of Reddi-wip. Soon after, a front loader pulls up and dumps even more cans of Reddi-wip in front of them. The two teams go wild and really dive into the cans of Reddi-wip. The scene continues with everyone is covered in Reddi-wip, and spraying large toppings of whipped cream on cupcakes and anything else they can find. The ad ends with the hashtag: #ShareTheJoy.
Branding: How Reddi-wip Got It Right
When it comes to smart marketing, a compelling story connects human emotion with brand awareness and brand loyalty. Humans make sense of the world and relate to one another through storytelling, and storytelling helps people identify with a deeper core value within themselves.
What viewers can instantly relate to in Reddi-wip’s ad is the pure and simple joy of play. Reddi-wip understood that if they could create the story of pure joy, 93% of Americans would share in that experience and associate Reddi-wip with joy. And if 93% of Americans want more joy, it is plausible that we would want a little more Reddi-wip in our lives.
