2019 Winner
Post Foods Canada - Sugar-Crisp
Sugar-Crisp Spout
Ogilvy Canada
SilverContent Strategy
Sugar-Crisp had previously connected with millennials by tapping into their nostalgia for the brand’s commercials from the ‘90s. However, this strategy didn’t gel with Gen Z, as they hadn’t grown up with the ads. So Sugar-Crisp looked to gaming as a way in with 18- to 24-year-olds.
Eating cereal while gaming is common practice with this group, but it also leads to sticky fingers, which impedes game play. So the “Sugar-Crisp Spout” was devised to let a gamer pour cereal directly into their mouth. Ogilvy helped the brand create a blatantly fake influencer, who promoted the Spout online. Around 3,000 were given away and the program (which won a Silver in Content Strategy) led to a 15% sales boost, versus the previous month.
