Thatchers Blood Orange Product Sampling Campaign

Overview

Thatchers Cider, a renowned cider producer, collaborated with us for another product sampling campaign in May 2022 to introduce and promote their Thatchers Blood Orange variant that was launched at the end of February 2022. The campaign specifically targeted offices with the highest concentration of 21-34 year olds across multiple cities in the UK.

These companies eagerly embraced the sampling initiative, offering their valued employees an exclusive chance to savour the delightful new cider variant firsthand, in addition to providing Thatchers with comprehensive qualitative and quantitative data through videography and the post-campaign questionnaire.
