The Objective

HARIBO was looking for a local Canadian agency partner to help understand and grow its Canadian fan base in an authentic way.

HARIBO partnered with Popcorn to develop a plan to increase product recognition, create an emotional connection with consumers, and encourage product trial.

What We Did

To expand its reach into the Canadian market, Popcorn’s strategy involved developing hyper-localized marketing campaigns, forming partnerships with influencers, employing paid media tactics, and creating custom content. Popcorn also offered advice on regulatory compliance and adapting HARIBO’s brand to incorporate Canadian cultural norms.

Results

Popcorn has helped HARIBO develop and grow its loyal fan base across Canada from Western to Atlantic Canada. Popcorn has had the pleasure of helping HARIBO announce its 100 Years of Goldbear birthday anniversary in 2020 and explore its first foray into influencer marketing, coordinate unique experiential campaigns, launch new Haribo products specifically for the Canadian market and even test experimental AR/VR technologies to bring fun and excitement to Canadians from coast to coast.
