Case Study
Summary
In 2011, Australia’s supermarket duopoly created the ‘milk wars,’ using their whopping 70% market share to turn milk into a “loss leader,” luring customers with milk at $1 per litre,
Today, Australian dairy farmers are still feeling the lasting damage. Own brand milk dominates the market and is treated as a commodity, with Australians expecting cheap milk.
To survive Norco knew it had to recruit the next generation of Norco drinkers. This case uses gamification to engage and reinforce Norco’s welfare message in the Cow’s Play Campaign - a category-first use of tech and augmented reality that literally brought Norco cows into the homes of urban city kids.
