The goal 


The goal was simple, make its chocolate milk drink Chocomel stand out in December. The company also wanted to test the effectiveness of video ad creative for mobile News Feed and Stories. 

Fun with puns


Every year on December 5 in the Netherlands, there is a tradition of giving chocolate letters to friends and family. In tribute, FrieslandCampina produced special packs of its Chocomel chocolate milk drink. They decided on individual letters of the alphabet replacing the normal label.
The brand team from FrieslandCampina knew from previous campaign measurement studies that Facebook and Instagram were ideal platforms to reach its audience of people in the Netherlands aged 18–45 and to get them excited about its brand message and promote the new packaging.
Using Facebook Creative Shop and the team from creative agency Boomerang, Chocomel created a campaign that was tailor-made for mobile feed and also adapted an existing TV commercial for multiple placements. A multi-cell split test was used to evaluate the performance of each type of creative.
The campaign used automatic placements across Facebook and Instagram, and also ran across other media, including online video, TV commercials and point-of-sale advertising.
