Gong cha Global has introduced a new multi-channel brand campaign featuring its Global Brand Ambassador, Felix from Stray Kids. This venture comes as a strategic effort to deepen consumer engagement through the theme of personalization.
Gong cha Global's initiative centers on the concept of 'Feel the Gong cha Vibe.' The campaign draws a parallel between Felix’s creative process in music production and the brand’s extensive customization options, which enable customers to tailor their beverages with hundreds of combinations. Through a lead video that depicts Felix adjusting tracks in a studio alongside customizing his drink with specific flavours, toppings, and ice levels, the campaign visually reinforces the idea that both artistic expression and beverage creation are deeply personal acts.
The multi-channel brand campaign also offers limited-edition merchandise, in-store promotions, and a special Matcha & Taro limited-time offering that blends two of the artist’s preferred flavours.
