Marketing Lessons from Cadbury

Last year, Cadbury released a limited series of chocolate bars to commemorate the brand’s 200th anniversary. They tapped into nostalgia by featuring seven different retro designs spanning 1915–2024. The campaign was a success, generating substantial attention on social media and sparking a wave of positivity and conversation around the brand.

Now, Cadbury has introduced a new collection of chocolate bars, once again emphasizing generosity and the joy of sharing:

  • Playful Packaging: The wrappers feature witty lines about everyday situations—like who pays for the streaming subscription vs. who just watches, who cooks vs. who cleans—turning the act of “sharing chocolate” into a moment of bonding and lighthearted discussion.
  • 12 Limited-Edition Wrappers: This makes the purchase feel like a mini-adventure—collect all 12 and read each unique storyline.
Key Takeaways

  • Values as a foundation
