Peperami celebrated the release of its Chicken Tikka Skewers with an unboxing activation that underscored how its new snack makes others taste like cardboard. As such, the public was invited to rip into a large-scale cardboard box, which revealed the new Chicken Tikka Skewers, branded merch and coveted prizes like an entire year's worth of skewers. For this novel unboxing experience, the snack brand tapped TV personality Harry Aikines-Aryeetey to tease the event, quiz the public and capture their reactions to the stunt.
"From the cryptic teaser to the live unboxing chaos, every moment was designed to provoke curiosity, spark conversation and deliver flavor, both literally and creatively," said Mark Campion at Fearless Union.
