NUTELLA CITYLOVE – INTEGRATED CAMPAIGNS
Nutella Germany, AD&VISION GmbH Germany, and HIVE Innovative Group UAE partnered to launch a unique integrated campaign called #citylove in February 2022.
The Nutella CityLove campaign showcased 15 iconic German cities on 750g special edition jars, encouraging people to rediscover their hometowns with fresh perspectives. The jars served as unique souvenirs, sparking high consumer interest.
An Augmented Reality (AR) feature allowed users to personalize their own Nutella CityLove jar with their name and city, submitting it for approval. Participants received customized poster prints of their creation, and the campaign’s grand prize featured 11 exclusive breakfast experiences with the Nutella CityLove food truck in their own city.
By integrating art, storytelling, design, UI/UX, AI, and AR, the campaign elevated consumer engagement, making Nutella an even more immersive and delightful experience.
