Mumbai: DS Group’s Pass Pass Pulse has launched a stimulating digital campaign, "Pulse Candy Hunt," marking Candy Day on 4 November. Leveraging an augmented reality approach, Pulse Candy Hunt allows users to enjoy a fun candy treasure hunt on Snapchat and Instagram.
By switching on their rear camera's lens or filter, the users need to look and spot different flavours of Pulse candy in their own 360-degree real-time environment and then tap the candy to bag it.
The final score of bagged candies in 20 seconds can be discovered by switching to their front camera. As a bonus, a prompt urges the users to open the mouth and a Pulse candy drops in, triggering a Chatkara Pop sound effect and a visual experience of the tangy burst of Pulse candy, triggering a change in the player's facial expression on the screen, like the widening of eyes and arching of eyebrows, followed by a celebratory bursting animation sequence behind and the final score showing at the bottom centre of the screen.
Speaking on the launch, Dharampal Satyapal Foods general manager of marketing Arvind Kumar said, "We are thankful to our consumers for making Pulse a leader in the hard boiled candy segment for the last five years, and therefore, Candy Day is very special to us. We celebrate it with Pulse lovers by playing innovative fun games in a digital world full of Pulse candy, amusement, and rewards. AR reality with vibrant graphics, sounds, and personal surroundings stimulates consumer interaction. This is a unique integrated digital campaign on the popular social media platforms that resonate with our target group (TG)."
To further increase traction and engagement on Instagram, a contest will be organised around this campaign, inviting people to share their entries in the form of Instagram reels for a chance to win amazing prizes. Nano, micro, and macro influencers like Ashi Singh, Ashnoor Kaur, and other digital content creators have been looped in for further amplification of the campaign.
