Brand authenticity, strong storytelling, and personalization are many of the attributes millennials value most.1
Brand heritage is extremely important for Millennials. They value brands that have been around for years and they want to see the story behind a product.2
Establish an authentic connection with MULTICULTURAL shoppers through storytelling and promoting Topo Chico’s strong heritage and uniqueness.
Idea behind: “Water is life, and our life is our water.”
“Topo Chico water is sourced from the very springs it was originally founded in, over 125 years ago. The product is unfiltered, unaltered and timeless. To this day, the brand remains true to its original spirit, mineral essence, and same great natural taste…which is perfect for our shoppers, who desire to know where and how products are created so they can feel confident in what they’re consuming.
“
Ourinspiration: The Topo Chico mountain range and water source in Monterrey MX.
As a part of the anniversary celebration, we invited multicultural shoppers to discover Topo Chico’s heritage (tied to each commemorative label) through a digital activation. A QR code was printed on limited edition 12 and 4-packs, and scanning the code would prompt a web-based AR experience to open.
1. Shopper scans QR code on pack using phone
2. QR code opens website, and a message asks users to point their phone at any of the vintage bottle labels
1. After scanning a label, the AR experience begins in which the bottle label becomes a stage and vintage content (videos, photos etc) will play, telling the history of Topo Chico associated with that label’s year.
2. Shopper has the option to have a new experience by scanning again, or to share with friends via social media.
