Exträa HD by Häagen-Dazs
The first ever movie viewing option that includes ice cream delivery.
An innovating service implemented in France’s biggest video-on-demand provider.
Presented as a brand new video format supplanting HD or Full HD, Exträa HD became the living proof that the ultimate home-movie experience is not only a matter of video format (because nothing compare to the pleasure you get from watching a good movie with the perfect Ice Cream in hand).
Execution
Exträa HD was created in partnership with My TF1, the largest VOD platform in France, Haagen-Dazs created a new viewing option to improve every movie:
The Extra HD button.
In a single click, users can now instantly choose their most beloved Haagen-Dazs flavor to go with their film
And have it delivered in less than 30 minutes, exactly when the movie really starts.
Available from 6 to 11pm, exactly when VOD viewership and ice cream consumption are at their highest rates,
Häagen-Dazs created the ideal option to buy ice cream in the perfect place and at the perfect time.
To optimize its PR potential, the service was initially launched amongst “Movies Lovers” influencers and Journalists.
Outcome
With this initiative, Häagen-Dazs reach 2.7 million potential new customers (on TF1 VOD).
But the total reach of the campaign was highly improved by the important number of press mentions and coverage of the initiative by French’s most famous lifestyle and movie-related magazines and media websites.
The Extäa HD service quickly became Häagen-Dazs’s most shared and mentioned initiative to date on the French market.
Relevancy
This campaign made French people talking about Häagen-Dazs for the first time in years: By launching a new digital service as new video format (like Full HD, HD Ready, 4K etc…), Häagen-Dazs raised attention on the fact that what makes a movie moment so great is not just the video format but the overall experience, including the premium ice cream you can savor while watching.
This simple demonstration turn out to be a very effective illustration inspiring numbers of mentions and PR showcasing this innovative service created by Häagen-Dazs exclusively for the Exträa HD campaign.
Strategy
Häagen-Dazs’s main target are women aged 25yo to 35yo that are passionate foodies for whom a good moment is not complete if it does not include the “sweet treat” that fits.
As for this target one of the best moment of the day is their home-movie chill on the evening when they are back from work, we decided to provide them with a powerful and relevant solution that will keep this moment perfect thanks to Häagen-Dazs.
Our strategy was based on the following insight: “it’s only when you start watching your favorite movie that you realize you don’t have Ice Cream in you fridge anymore”
Extäa HD brings a direct and contextualized solution to this problem in order to secure this moment as “the best moment of the day” for the target.
