Challenge
Cookie sales experienced tremendous momentum during the well-known Pandemic stock-ups that
drove consumers to focus on availability and routine, at a cost to emotional benefit and brand
differentiation. With post-2020 seeing declines of up to 18% in the cookie category, how could Mondelez help raise the entire category back up again as a brand leader, especially with a newly health-aware shopper?
Idea
The most popular colorway in the shoe world is named after Oreo, and for years sneakerheads and shoe brands have been using the name for free. Since they hijacked the cookie, we hijacked the sneakers. Delivering a unique experience that allowed us to turn every Oreo colorway sneaker into a commerce opportunity. By collecting the data of the most popular shoe model releases, we turned every sneaker into a coupon – a retail promotion using smart-scan technology.
