- Agency for brand experiences sends an attention-getting double decker bus through Germany for the crispbread brand
- Samplings, a digital photo box and the integration with the Facebook community to create new recipes cater to an interactive indulgence experience
Under the slogan „Discover the new Wasa Gourmet“, the „Wasa Gourmet Fine Cracker Tour“ starts on 26 February 2016. Germany’s largest food truck stops in eight German cities, presenting the variety of new Wasa Sesame Gourmet und Muesli Gourmet flavors. The roadshow’s concept and implementation come from EAST END, the agency for brand experiences who recently won the Barilla-group’s brand as a new customer.
The double decker bus in striking Scandinavian winter look with a terrace and bistro tables entices passers-by to test five different gourmet crispbread recipes created by consumers on the Wasa Facebook page. Each week, five new recipes go on tour. On the upper level which was transformed into a gourmet café, guests can also enjoy coffee, tea or water in a relaxing atmosphere. For the interactive brand experience, crisp fans can take Wasa Gourmet foodie photos in the “Foodie Booth”, a mobile photo box, and share or print them.
Tour stops are Munich, Stuttgart, Oberhausen, Dusseldorf, Essen, Hannover, Hamburg and Berlin.
