Cadbury Creme Egg’s audience is increasingly avoiding ads. So in 2019 it tackled this industry problem head on. In a first-of-its-kind collaboration with 12 other brands, Cadbury created the ultimate Easter Eggs by hiding its super-rare and super-sought after White Creme Eggs in other brands’ ads. Clues were seeded on social and once found, people uploaded a photo to an image-recognition-enabled mobile site to discover whether they’d found a white egg. This cross-platform, digital hunt turned other brands’ ads into Cadbury ads and then got the nation to stop skipping and start searching for them.
