Cadbury Dairy Milk + Oreo deliver ‘Double the Yum’ in new campaign via Saatchi & Saatchi
Cadbury Dairy Milk and Oreo have announce its new friendship with a new campaign via Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney for Cadbury Dairy Milk Oreo.
This significant product innovation will be supported via a phased integrated campaign, themed around the brands’ evolving friendship and designed to captivate and drive purchase amongst the sweet-toothed audience.
At the core of the friendship-focused campaign is an online film, launching on the Cadbury Facebook page and YouTube. The 80-second animation imagines our world from the perspective of an Oreo cookie and Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate pip as they co-exist with humans and embark on adventures together. With a playful, positive outlook on life that brings the product’s ‘double the yum, double the fun’ message to life, the characters’ feelings at any given time are documented via emoticons.
Key frames from this creative will be repurposed for OOH, placed in contextual locations that link with the artwork. Online, a media partnership with Buzzfeed will put its own spin on the friendship theme, and PR will further drive product messaging.
Then, later this month, Cadbury will give back to its engaged Facebook community with a fun competition. Designed to deliver the friendship message in an authentic way and encourage participation, the month-long activity will offer consumers the chance to win adventures that the cookie and pip enjoy in the film. Experiences range from beach activities to a sports match, with a different prize available each week for four weeks.
Meanwhile, product awareness will be enhanced via two retailer-centric TVCs and high- impact point of sale.
Says Sarah Stahle, brand manager tablets ANZ at Mondelez Internationa: “Cadbury Dairy Milk and Oreo are two of our hero brands and we’re delighted to bring them together in this unique offering. The product landed on-shelf earlier this month and feedback from our Facebook audience has so far been overwhelmingly positive.
“Saatchi & Saatchi has perfectly brought the friendship message to life in the integrated campaign, creating an entertaining and meaningful story between two of the most nation’s loved brands: Cadbury and Oreo.”

Are AWARD students writing Saatchi’s work?
That’s embarrassing.
…
Really great to see this level of animation for a mainstream product in Australia.
Not sure the emojis are required, the “characters” show enough emotion without them and they just distract.
Well done to all involved.
I found this both boring and confusing.
Seriously underwhelming.
Well, that’s awful. Nice soundtrack though.
It almost had a ‘Sausage Party’ vibe at the end there as the two are eaten…
The new chocolate tastes great, which is good because I had a little vom in my mouth after I saw this.
Saatchi’s seem to be happy with the “incredibly boring first thought made to look nice” approach lately.
This and the Natural Confectionary Company spot put me to sleep.
More ideas with feeling please.
Some marketing knob obviously weighed in worried the characters weren’t strong enough to carry the emotions so forced the dumb bubble-head-whatevers into it. Utterly pointless. Also needed an ironic soundtrack. Nobody is seriously going to be “captivated” by the “meaningful story” or swept up in the “friendship.”
Probably more likely the client was worried about the chocolate / cookie losing ‘taste appeal’ if they had faces showing emotion.
