Case study

A 75-year-old sauce brand out-hooked every new challenger.

A sauce brand staged a big game-style birthday campaign. Every sauce and snack brand should see how it was put together.

An old brand with a new hook

Instead of another price cut, the brand built a birthday moment: buy a pack, scan the receipt, play for a prize. The pack became the entry ticket.

Promo mechanics that carry data

Scan and win, cashback and a coupon for the next purchase ran side by side. Each mechanic pushed the buyer one step further and left a receipt behind.

What the brand kept

After the campaign the team had a named audience of sauce buyers, per store and per basket. The next campaign started warm instead of from zero.

Take this with you
  • A hook beats a discount, even for a legacy brand.
  • Stack mechanics so one purchase leads to the next.
  • The real prize is the buyer list you keep afterwards.
