Brilliant pop-up activation for the triumphant return of the Hostess Munchies by PepsiCo and Edelman creating a "Munchies Living Room" on Queen St. West, celebrating the rich history of the brand, 80s and 90s nostalgia and a sampling of the delicious new (and old) flavours. We are big believers and proponents of Heritage Marketing, and this is how you do it properly. 10/10 no notes! Big congrats Jess Spaulding Alyssa (marck) Fallis Sophie Johnston

This is what we’re talking about! A Brands advertising archive can hold so much gold. It can even become the new campaign! Nice one KFC & Yum! Brands on using nostalgia to cheer on the Oilers. If your company’s next campaign is still stuck on old media formats, get in touch! Ed@retrontario.com https://lnkd.in/gUqmA_du
