Tic Tac boxes take over shopping centres with berry scent via PHD, oOh! and The Mix Agency

Ferrero Australia has launched its latest campaign which makes its new Tic Tac Berries flavour unmissable, visually, but also through scent. Implementing 25 giant scented Tic Tac boxes which emit the new Tic Tac Berries flavour. The aim is to entice shoppers on passing by to try the exciting new product.

Working in Partnership with PHD, oOh!media and The Mix Agency, the boxes will be distributed in proximity to Woolworths & Coles entrances across NSW, VIC and QLD. The campaign will run for a 2 week period. The slow release capsules burst at different times so the fragrance will last for the entire campaign period.

The largest of the Tic Tac boxes will reach 1890mm x 1140mm and the expected scent radius is up to 2 metres surrounding the panel.

The giant boxes are transported in flat to Reed Pacific whereupon they apply the patented micro-encapsulated SureScent technology that allows the berry fragrance to release the ambient scent to the shoppers in the vicinity.
