The Campaign

Evolution doesn't always mean radical change. For us it meant a bit of ripping, folding and sliding. By doing so, we designed a normal Happy Meal Box into a unique VR viewer. We call it Happy Goggles. "A Happy Meal box, if you think about it, is the perfect starting material for a rudimentary VR headset.” – Wired Magazine At its heart, Happy Goggles is a product innovation to meet the changing play patterns of a new generation of digitally native guests. As mobiles are their new toys and app stores their new library, cinema and classroom. We used smart design to transform the world’s most iconic box, into the world’s most democratic entertainment console. One which can adapt to any emerging play patterns over time.

Creative Execution

On the day of launch, we started the rumour mill with an exclusive article in Adweek. And we also seeded 100’s of boxes to key influencers across the globe. Sparking a flurry of content across the social web. We also featured our boxes at SxSW! Where festival goers could try our immersive ski-game experience Slope Stars. For which we secured endorsement from the Swedish national ski-team, a great amplification source for our message. Once the rumours was out, we sent out press-kits to over 17,000 media outlets. The press-kits featured our product launch video and also encourage visits to http://happygoggles.se/en where anyone could find out more about the product and also engage in our immersive Slope Star experirence. Our newsroom then governed each story, answering questions and securing more features as the story spread. The campaign then went into action mode, and we invited media and influencers into selected restaurants across Sweden, where they could get their hands on their own Happy Goggles.
