Starbucks Switzerland and Dreifive ring in the fall
With the start of fall, it’s not just the golden leaves that make their appearance, but also the eagerly awaited Pumpkin Spice Season—a time of year that enjoys cult status across generations. Starbucks and Dreifive are celebrating this season with a special promotion.
The start of autumn not only marks the arrival of the golden leaves, but also the much-anticipated Pumpkin Spice Season - a time of year that enjoys cult status across all generations. But how do you stand out from the crowd during this special season? Together, we took the decisive step further and staged the start of the season in spectacular fashion: a giant Pumpkin Spice Latte landed right in the heart of Zurich! An impressive appearance that not only attracted attention, but also sent the social media world into a frenzy.
"Fake Out of Home Media"
"The start of fall is always a very special moment for us at Starbucks. We are delighted to see that we can score points with innovative implementations on social media and that we have been able to triple our organic engagement rate as a result," reveals Thomas Egger (Senior Marketing Manager Starbucks Switzerland and Austria).
The secret of success? FOOHm - Fake Out of Home Media. This innovative marketing strategy amazes passers-by with its deceptively real 3D installations. The highlight: these are not real objects, but impressive digital productions that are projected into the public space. FOOHm creates moments of surprise and viral effects, especially in urban environments.
What makes FOOHm so unique and why does it appeal to GenZ in particular? The answer is obvious: digital natives love the unexpected, the extraordinary and the shareable. With FOOHm, brands reach their target group exactly where they are - in the city, on social media, in real life. It is a form of advertising that is visually strong, emotionally gripping and, above all, interactive. FOOHm offers endless possibilities: From staging seasonal products to creative brand messages - anything is possible.
"The landing of a giant Pumpkin Spice Latte cup in the middle of Sechseläutenplatz is the perfect proof of how FOOHm hits the nerve of the times. A spectacular experience, and exactly what GenZ loves: something extraordinary that they can immediately share with their friends," say Isabell Steiner (Director Creation & Production Dreifive) and Marleen Albert (Head of Social Media Dreifive).
