Integrating Sweet Success: Haagen-Dazs x Emily in Paris

At Mad Hat Asia, we thrive on crafting compelling narratives that resonate with audiences and deliver tangible results. We're excited to share a recent campaign that perfectly illustrates our ability to integrate brands with pop culture: our collaboration with Haagen-Dazs for their limited-edition "Emily in Paris" products.

Our mission was to seamlessly integrate Haagen-Dazs with pop culture through its collaboration with the hit Netflix show Emily in Paris, launching these exciting products in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The Challenge: A Parisian Dream Across Borders

We faced a unique set of challenges to ensure a truly cohesive and impactful campaign:

  • Regional Integration: Orchestrating a unified campaign across three distinct markets – Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand – each with its own nuances and media landscape.

  • Tight Timelines: With only three weeks from ideation to execution, the launch had to perfectly coincide with Emily in Paris' debut on Netflix.

  • Global Guidelines: Adhering to stringent directives from PARAMOUNT, NETFLIX, and Haagen-Dazs for event design, layout, and execution, ensuring brand consistency and legal compliance.

Our Strategic Approach: A Taste of Parisian Chic

To overcome these challenges and achieve our ambitious goals, we deployed a multi-faceted strategy:

  • Elevating Haagen-Dazs into Fashion & Lifestyle: Our core strategy was to position Haagen-Dazs within the realm of fashion and lifestyle, lending a sophisticated Parisian flair to the entire campaign.

  • Tri-Market Watch Party & Dinner: We hosted a premier tri-market watch party and dinner for top-tier fashion, lifestyle media, and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs). This exclusive event created buzz and generated anticipation for the limited-edition products.

  • Creative Product Drops: Bespoke product drops were strategically executed to build excitement and pre-launch hype.

  • 3 Physical Events: To maximize engagement and media exposure, we organized three physical events across the markets.

    • Themed Launch Events: Each event was meticulously themed to capture the Parisian charm synonymous with Emily in Paris, creating Instagram-worthy moments for both Haagen-Dazs and the attending media and influencers.

  • Public Relations & Influencer Engagement:

    • Bespoke Press Kits: We distributed custom-designed press kits and creative media packages to key media outlets.

    • Strategic Influencer Partnerships: We collaborated with a mix of paid and organic influencers to maximize campaign visibility and drive social buzz across all three markets.

Phenomenal Results That Speak Volumes:

Our integrated approach yielded exceptional results, significantly exceeding expectations and solidifying Haagen-Dazs' presence in the fashion and lifestyle sphere:

  • Total PR Value:

    • Singapore: SGD 432,2750

    • Malaysia: RM 1,444,721.50

    • Thailand: THB 5,560,632 These figures demonstrate the substantial return on investment and widespread media attention generated across all markets.
