How did Ocean Spray innovated to tackle a key marketing challenge?

According to Belloso, Ocean Spray Cranberries is a very well-known brand in the U.S., but there is limited brand awareness in international key markets, a good example of this is Chile.

“We launched a new product, and the challenge was, how to connect with our consumers, how to tell the story of our coop of producers, and how we harvest cranberries in Chile.”

Which technology helped Ocean Spray to solve the challenge?

“We created an augmented reality program in our package that allowed the consumers to learn more about the product, its benefits, and the story we had to tell. Augmented reality allowed the consumer to play with our package and look at our package through their phone and see things about the product.”

The benefits of augmented reality in marketing surpassed any other strategy in effectiveness. Rafael Belloso outlined five benefits of the use of augmented reality obtained through the activation.

“Of course, as in every technology, there is an adaptation curve. Nonetheless, 10% of people who bought the product are engaged in the experience. That is a very high response rate,” explained Belloso.
