Sweet Flavours
Nissin Foods
Product Strategy | Consumer Insight
In response to an organic movement on social media where consumers were clamoring for sweet noodle options, Nissin conducted research and developed two flavors that promised to revolutionize the palate: Chocolate and Beijinho (a coconut truffle flavor). The uniqueness was not limited to the unprecedented flavors but also to the preparation method, where milk replaced water, delivering a creamy and indulgent experience.
And with all this novelty, there was nothing better than taking the consumer on a journey of discovery, preparation, and flavor, along with the brand.
To launch this novelty, Nissin created a campaign with three commercials starring the charismatic characters Clélio and Tonho. The commercials narrated a spy plot where the characters followed clues and uncovered the secrets behind the new flavors. After a journey full of suspense and discoveries, they finally revealed the ingredients that make up the new Nissin Sweet Ramen: Chocolate and Beijinho. This launch, being one of the main events for the company in the year, was meticulously planned to generate curiosity and anticipation. The public's acceptance was immediate and significant, validating Nissin's bet on meeting its consumers' desires and reinforcing its role as an innovative brand attuned to trends.
