With a strong focus on sustainably sourced cocoa , Darrell Lea thought it was only right to go where no supermarket confectionary brand had gone before and become 100% Palm Oil free.

THE GOAL

Working with Facebook, a Brand Lift study was undertaken to measure the uplift in consumers recalling, familiarity and consideration of purchasing Darrell Lea.
A TikTok takeover was chosen to drive consumers to the website and ensure every demographic in Australia was aware of the recent change. A TikTok take-over ensured that every Australian users that opened the app on that day, watched the video.
The video was further featured on YouTube and searches for Darrell Lea were captured via Google Ads.
