Implementation
‘Happiness Moment’ has never been more crucial in China’s rapid developing state. The degree of happy moment heightens with the arrival of Chinese New Year. Wherever you are, the eagerness and desire to go home is the only thing in everyone’s mind.However, a massive migration of 340 million people during Chinese New Year, called Chunyun, which spans about 20 days, makes it difficult to travel home. No public transportation system in the world can solve this dilemma.To amplify happiness moment, Mengniu initiated a brand campaign to resonate with consumers and create conversation about “Little Happiness Matters”.

Execution
Mengniu re-enforced their brand image through fulfilling its social responsibility in support of travelers going home, virtually and physically. Through the interactive map, we see the hopes and desires of going home, we see how far the destination is and that you are not alone on your journey back home.Digital elements brought to life. To encourage those who cannot return home, i.Virtual letters were printed out and delivered with gift packages ii.Virtual reunion dinners were organized.For those traveling, Mengniu arranged for the “Happiness Bus” to shuttle travelers back home from major check-points.

Client Brief Or Objective
Mengniu, one of the top 20 manufacturers and distributors of dairy products in the world, is the No.1 local dairy manufacturer in China. Mengniu’s brand manifesto stands for “every bit of happiness” and has dedicated itself to uphold social wellbeing over the years. In recent years, food & safety scandals have become a serious issue in China; inevitably, Mengniu suffered from it.The strategy for the brand campaign is to use a soft approach to create a conversation amongst consumers, riding on trending topics to deliver and amplify the brand’s message of “Little Happiness Matters”.
