Cookie-Flavored Creamer Ads

The Latest Addition to Coffee-Mate Creamers is a Festive Gingerbread

— October 19, 2015 — Marketing
This quirky ad for Nestlé's newest Coffee-Mate flavor features a gingerbread man. The ad was created to promote the delicious new gingerbread creamer flavor, which is being promoted by a festive gingerbread man himself.

The ad begins in a brainstorming session at the Nestlé head offices. The marketing team is conjuring ideas for a new Christmas-flavored coffee creamer. An employee named Fred suggests gingerbread. However, the new Nestlé mascot, the gingerbread man, comes back to suggest a "Fred flavor." The aggressive little mascot brings a humorous aspect to the ad and certainly gets people thinking about the upcoming Christmas season.

The gingerbread man, who is voiced by the brand's spokesman Joel Hubbard brings a comical twist to the satirical coffee creamer ad.
