“Ask me a question and hopefully I can make you smile” is the question that Gemma, the PANDORA chatbot and love guru is asking shoppers at Westfield Stratford City in the lead up to Valentine’s Day.
This is all part of an exciting experiential and digital OOH campaign at the UK’s no.2 mall; an activity that will champion PANDORA as a leading gifting destination and promote their new Valentine’s collection.
Rosie Reeves, Brand Manager at PANDORA UK said “To raise awareness of our new Valentine’s collection, we wanted to bring an immersive brand experience to shoppers. Gemma, our PANDORA chatbot, has been a huge success so we worked with Foundry, Flying Object and Venzo to develop a way of bringing her to life at Westfield Stratford City. We’re confident that by reimagining Gemma as the PANDORA love guru in this key shopping mall, utilising the digital screens and experiential space, we can successfully share a message of love.”
The campaign with the international jewellery brand was planned and booked through Foundry, JCDecaux’s newly launched inhouse creative agency.
Shoppers at Westfield Stratford City will benefit from Gemma’s love advice and recommendations from 8th – 10th February. Upon telling Gemma details such as gender and relationship status, the love guru will share her dating tips, chat-up lines and light-hearted jokes.
Dallas Wiles, Chief Commercial Officer at JCDecaux UK told us “Westfield Stratford City is the busiest shopping mall in the UK, providing an ideal channel for this branding and activation campaign in the lead up to Valentine’s Day. Combining experiential activity with the Westfield Stratford City digital channel will immerse shoppers in the PANDORA brand during this key retail period, with our recently upgraded premium digital 6-sheet portfolio driving footfall into stores.”
