FantaSnack in the Name of Play

Insight

Snacking has lost its play.

Snacking is meant to be messy, loud and colourful, yet we’re snacking more, but enjoying less. We’re snacking because we’re stressed or while multitasking. Fanta saw an opportunity to create new rituals that intensify every snack and protect snacktime from becoming just another mundane part of the day. Who better to fight for that cause than an icon of playfulness and indulgence?

Idea

When boring gets in the way, Fanta comes out to play.

It’s time to snap people out of their snacktime slumber. With its multi-sensorial flavours, Fanta intensifies moments of snacking. It makes popcorn pop. It gives pretzels pizzazz. Snackers are being reminded about the joy, while creating new moments that reach new audiences.



Fanta is highlighted as protecting playfulness and intensifying flavours by shining a spotlight on the snackers who are embracing their silly selves. Content partners introduce new rituals that help elevate their playfulness, creating greater association between Fanta and snacking, while video, out of home and social remind viewers to snack loudly, messily and in the name of play.



Impact

Proud snackers, step into the spotlight.

This is the start of Fanta’s larger goal to bring joy back to snacking. Snackers are encouraged to come out of hiding and influencers who share a passion for colourful snacking are tapped into. These creators are infusing Fanta into their daily rituals, spreading the message via social. A shared movement composed of silly content and playful challenges has started, and everyone is invited to play.

A smiling man in a colorful shirt holds an orange Fanta bottle and a potato chip with dip, sitting on a bus with friends. Another person nearby is reading a newspaper. The scene is cheerful and lively.
A young woman outdoors holds a bottle of orange Fanta, smiling playfully with her tongue out. She wears a checked jacket and stands in a park with people in the blurred background.

Strong brands can only be built with true partnership. Beyond AKQA’s expertise and innovative thinking, the team is what makes the difference. People that care about society, and are mindful of what they put out. The best kind of partner we could ask for.
