The Campaign
We wanted to reach young adults the world over with a chronic & unavoidable habit of taking life and its modern, everyday, humdrum demands unnecessarily seriously. Wall’s Ice Cream creates value by momentarily melting away all of this ‘unimportant important’ stuff, allowing us to live a little more joyfully for just a moment. Wall’s Ice Cream tagline ‘Goodbye Serious’ is a call to let a bit of joy in more often.
We decided to bring ‘Goodbye Serious’ to the place that needed it most: the office. To do this we created The Office Ice Cream Truck. An ice cream truck that was small enough to fit in an elevator and cruise through corridors, but big enough to fit a full-size ice cream man. Our little truck had all the features a normal-sized ice cream truck has, but five times smaller: a miniature speaker on the roof to play the iconic ice cream truck tune, a small cooling box to hold up to 20 ice creams, a tiny sliding side window and of course a little red-and-white sunshade canopy. With our truck we visited several offices and surprised unknowing office workers with Wall’s ice cream. Goodbye serious!
Wall’s Office Ice Cream Truck helped the brand communicate that ice cream is not only eaten when it’s hot, on holiday or by little kids. That ice-cream advertising doesn’t have to be people jumping off jetties into the sea in the sunshine or cheesy shots of people laughing and eating ice creams. But that ice cream is in fact a brilliant part of everyday life and helps us all to take life just a little less seriously.
Wall’s Office Ice Cream Truck was a film developed as a content piece for Wall’s online channels. Our charming Wall’s Truck secretly infiltrated big office buildings and surprised unknowing office workers with Wall’s ice cream, helping them forget the ‘unimportant important’ stuff for a moment. The Office Ice Cream Truck brought ice cream directly to where the target group was and in doing so generated a direct response from everyone it encountered. Goodbye serious!
