Häagen-Dazs, is spreading "moments of joy" with a hyper-personalised marketing campaign targeting the affluent London borough of Wandsworth.

The brand is working with retailers to drive sales, with POS merchandising displayed in over 100 independent retail stores in Wandsworth and a two-for-one promotion available in selected wholesalers*.


To support the campaign and drive visibility among consumers, the brand has launched a media takeover of Wandsworth, running until 9 August. Attention-grabbing creatives will be displayed on billboards, shopping centre screens, digi-screens and kiosks across the borough, featuring a QR code and call to action to direct users to a bespoke landing page.

The page will present a variety of offers to select from, including exclusive coupons to use on Deliveroo and GoPuff, and a competition to win a table for 10 at Neverland in Fulham. Neverland will host Häagen-Dazs’ new "Ice Cream Van of Ice Cream Vans", an experiential consumer activation running until the 29 August.

Häagen-Dazs is using the campaign to test its new marketing strategy, before replicating the bespoke activity in other major cities.

“Häagen-Dazs is known for bold, distinctive experiences that captivate consumers into fully savouring the now," said Jose Alves, Marketing Manager at Häagen-Dazs UK. "Our new campaign embodies this ethos, taking our marketing strategy to the next level whilst supporting retailers to maximise the summer sales opportunity.

“We’re trialling the campaign in Wandsworth, a key demographic target for Häagen-Dazs, so we can measure success before expanding to other key cities. We are working with key partners across the omnichannel to personalise and customise our approach to ensure Häagen-Dazs is front of mind while increasing distribution, and ultimately, unlocking even greater moments of joy.”

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
