Cadbury Roses introduces new and reinvented flavours with new campaign via Ogilvy Melbourne
Cadbury Roses launched in Australia 70 years ago, and over the seven decades since, the brand has continuously evolved to reflect the changing tastes of consumers. Today, Cadbury Roses is excited to share its next phase, introducing a number of new and reinvented flavours, as well as new packaging.
The exciting brand update will be supported by a new above-the-;ine campaign, ‘A Fresh Way to say Thank You’ via Ogilvy Melbourne, featuring creative that has been designed to showcase the refreshed assortment, that has launched, including large format and digital OOH advertising. The campaign will run till Christmas to further cement Cadbury Roses as one of Australia’s most loved and iconic ways to say thank you.
Says Jessica Finger, senior brand manager: “This new evolution of Cadbury Roses reflects the changing taste preferences of consumers and addresses customer’s valid feedback. Our intention is to continue delivering the best experience for lovers of Cadbury Roses, whilst remaining true to the brand.”
The classic flavours have been reinvented to appeal to today’s consumers by adding more indulgent layers and textures.
An example of this is the classic Peppermint Crème, which has now evolved into Peppermint Crème Crunch, adding the texture our consumers are telling us they want to a classic flavour. Other reinvented flavours include; Hazelnut Crème Crisp, Turkish Delight, Hazelnut Swirl, Caramel Deluxe, Classic Caramel, Dark Mocha Nougat and Classic Milk
.
Brand new additions to the range include: White Raspberry, the first ever white chocolate variety in the Cadbury Roses range, boasting creamy Cadbury white chocolate blended with delicate freeze-dried raspberries, and; Vanilla Nougat, a fluffy textured nougat with crispy pieces dipped in Cadbury milk chocolate.
Each of the delectable Cadbury Roses chocolate fillings has been paired with the Cadbury chocolate that complements and enhances the flavours and textures on the inside. Additionally, the shape of each Cadbury Roses piece has been modernised with a more rounded and smooth shape.
As well as contemporising what’s inside the packaging, the Cadbury Roses wrappers have also had an exciting update. In response to consumer feedback, Cadbury Roses has introduced sealed ‘flow wrap’ to lock in freshness and flavour. Now, each Cadbury Roses piece will be sealed fresh to prevent accidental unwrapping and minimise flavour transfer between pieces.

NIce work guys
Two things:
This certainly doesn’t deserve a press release. You’ve put the packshot on a background with a headline from the brief.
I don’t know why I’m commenting, what a waste of time.
Smells like a client’s press release.
Have Ogilvy made any work at all for Cadbury? I mean you can’t count this 6 second junk, so is there any real work been done in over a year?
Just one thing – Mondelez is a beast to handle. This 6secs would have taken 6 months to make.
Good luck!
I have just this minute emptied the contents into the bin. Gone are my favourites and the easy open wrapper. Bring back the old ones. Goidbye Cadbury, won’t be buying Roses again.
Cadbury is the only chocolate that I buy and each time I buy a box of chocolates it”s roses but not anymore with these new chocolates. Bring back the originals, much better than the crap in this tin.
Received a pack of the new Cadbury Roses for Christmas,…. absolutely horrid. The baggy wrappers make them unattractive and difficult. Both the new flavours and what are supposedly the old ones are unpleasant and sugary and there is no real definition of chocolate and filling on the palate due to the overriding sugary burn.
No more are Cadbury Roses a mischievous treat. Somewhat saddened by the Cadbury Roses demise.
The new Roses are horrible- why take a brilliant product and spoil it completely. You’ve ruined my Christmas!
I patched a call thru to Cadbury pre-Christmas to let them know how irked I was with the “exciting “ new Roses. I had loaded up as gifts and decided to crack open a box because I needed a strawberry creme. Massive disappointment. I was too embarrassed to give them as gifts. Nobody in this house will eat them – they’re just sitting in a bowl and I suppose they’ll end up in the bin.
First time in my life a box of roses didn’t get finished on xmas day, ended up in the bin a week later. Is it to far fetched to hang whoever’s responsible for this terrible new range? Or even worse, make them eat a box of new roses!. 0/10 for taste.
Really cheap tasting and nasty. I will not buy these awful chocs again. Everyone in our home agrees that they are awful. I can only assume that Cadbury get a cheap deal on those rice crispie type things which are heavily featured in the new chocs. Nasty. And the wrappers are nasty too.
The new flavours are nasty, whoever signed off this new range made a huge mistake. Please bring the old range back with the old wrappers. I won’t be buying these chocolates.
Half price at Cole’s
Now after trying them I know why?
My first selection was Dark Mocha Nougat & after eventually opening it I thought what are people complaining about. That was good I loved it, then my second was
White Raspberry:- WHAT A DISASTER
?Creamy white chocolate? Hard & horrible them they say delicate raspberry pieces, the person who wrote that should be a politician, what a load of B??????t.
All those Crisp or Crunch ones:-
Break your teeth on them, unpleasant and sugary, absolutely horrid.
I won’t be buying these chocolates again.
