With less than 15 K of investment, Shoot the Cookies to get more than 5 Million in earned media, reaching thousands Twitter users and retweeted by influential users. #ShootTheCookies within 97% of agreement on social media, made the headlines of more than a hundred blogs among the most specialized and popular in France, but also in North America and Asia.

At the dawn of the war for privacy, Internet cookies are the enemies. Indeed like a little vitual snitch, Internet cookies are used to collect all your personal data and transfer them without your knowledge. We are McVitie’s and we make delicious British biscuits… It’s natural for us to hate cookies in all their forms, so we wanted to crush them everwhere, on the supermarket shelves, but also online helping people preserving their private life We created Shootthecookies : a browser extension that scans for all cookies on your computer, and deletes them with one simple click. If the campaign increased brand awareness, its also considerably served the brand utility.
