The Campaign
The main creative idea was a street food thematic zone for Unilever Food Solutions and an innovation concept for Unilever Trade. The street food was chosen because this concept reflected an easy character, opportunities and adventures, quality products and novelty. The other concept for Unilever Trade was chosen because it reflected innovative possibilities, experience, and original innovative solutions.
Campaign Success
The activity was located at Metro Expo, a specialized exhibition of the closed type. The area was more than 192 m². The agency created and developed two different zones. Unilever Trade was an area with an interactive gallery. This area included three zones: food, interactive zone and HPS. All the zones included interactive screens with key visuals of different brands, and a collage with logos and brand slogans. The most unusual and innovative furniture part of that area was a robot-consultant; it welcomed customers and told them about the main activities. Unilever Food Solutions was a kitchen zone for master-classes and lectures. There was also developed totally creative photo zone. It looked like a huge burger and attracted a lot of customers.
