Make Happy

How do you turn a century old boxed chocolate company into a challenger brand? We started by focusing on the emotional benefit. The fact that when you give chocolate to others, it doesn’t just make them feel good, it makes you happy, too.

 

Problem

Russell Stover was “grandma’s chocolate.” We needed to modernize the brand and bring it into popular culture in order to regain attention and purchase consideration.

Insight

The Little Acts of Generosity Make Life Sweeter. To reinvent the brand, we positioned Russell Stover as a gifting company, centering our strategy around the importance of giving and how it feels to be a gifter.

Solution

Make Happy. We launched “Make Happy,” the brand's first national creative campaign in more than 20 years, to celebrate the joy that comes with bestowing a gift of Russell Stover chocolates to a friend or loved one.

Relevancy

By reimagining a classic brand, we were able to bring Russell Stover back into the cultural discourse, increase purchase occasions, and positively impact sales.

Keeping traditions alive in quarantine is nothing but a challenge. So in the spirit of Easter, we created The Great Bunny Hunt - an online search for America’s #1 Bunnies.
