Magnum China has launched its new flavor Magnum Matcha with Fred & Farid Shanghai

Magnum China has partnered with imma the most famous Virtual Human in Asia @imma.gram and Fred & Farid Shanghai to launch its new flavor Magnum Matcha, available in China 

This new campaign is following the Magnum global creative platform “Never Stop Playing”: an attitude about being true to your pleasure – whatever it is. The luxury ice-cream brand wanted to put an accent on the Japanese origin of the new matcha flavor with a playful twist. The main objective of the campaign was to launch the highly anticipated Japanese matcha flavor in mainland China while increasing the brand’s awareness in a particularly competitive market. This was the first flavor created specifically for the Chinese market

Fred & Farid Shanghai, Magnum's lead agency in China, has developed a campaign based on a very unique collaboration between the brand and imma, the most famous Virtual Human in Asia from Japan, produced by Aww Inc. With her very distinct energy, character, and look she is the perfect model to recall the Japanese cultural dichotomy.

The agency imagined an entire campaign with a TVC, key visuals, social content, and promotional sites with imma as the main brand ambassador. #NeverStopPlaying is about daring to be yourself without worrying about anyone’s judgment. In the TVC, we can discover the eye-catchy Imma having fun and riding a longboard among the surprised crowd of the Japanese megalopolis while enjoying her Magnum matcha Ice-cream.
