The campaign ran in grocery stores across Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, and Arizona for 3 months.
Hershey’s primary goal with the Ice Breakers campaign was to test the effectiveness of brand equity advertising for a core brand in the gum category.
In addition to their primary goal, they also wanted to understand if “halo” effects occur for different products within the same brand. For the Ice Breakers gum campaign, they wanted to understand its effect on Ice Breakers mint products that weren’t directly advertised.
