Elevating New Product launch Experience Through Music, Tech, and Collectibility
Oreo’s groundbreaking collaboration with global pop icon Selena Gomez didn’t stop at a new flavor – it became a journey of discovery, technology, and fandom. To celebrate Selena’s new music release and the introduction of her signature chocolate and cinnamon creme OREO cookies, Oreo launched a limited-edition product line: fans could find packs featuring custom-embossed designs and scan a QR code to unlock an interactive digital experience right in their browser.
Upon purchasing the special Oreo x Selena pack, users were guided to scan their cookie—searching for the “Selena signature” rare collectible among their stash. This process, powered by a custom-trained ML system, verified the signature cookie instantly, offering a treasure hunt sensation and making every Oreo a potential collector’s item.
Seamless Fan Activation With ML-Powered Cookie Scanning
AliveNow’s tech team created an ML-based recognition system that:
- Accurately detected the rare Selena signature Oreo from user scans, making product interaction simple and delightful.
- Gave fans the chance to listen to Selena’s latest track—directly connecting music, collectible hunting, and product loyalty in a single engagement loop.
- Enabled digital downloads, collectible posters, and entry into exclusive prize draws, driving tangible post-purchase excitement.
This use of web-based ML technology is a clear blueprint for brands looking to validate purchases and drive deeper engagement remotely—unlocking new content only for genuine customers. Multilingual support (English, French, Arabic) ensured accessibility for fans worldwide.
Post-Purchase Engagement: Beyond Basic Loyalty
The campaign made post-purchase product validation rewarding:
- The hunt for the rare Selena signature cookie turned ordinary snacks into collectibles, adding excitement to unboxing and sharing.
- Music unlocking and digital rewards fostered emotional and tangible value—building stronger connections around the product experience.
- Branded microsites and ML-detection create reliable, scalable ways for brands to verify product purchase and launch campaigns that blend gamification and marketing.
By merging tangible and digital assets, Oreo grew sales, deepened fan engagement, and transformed the product into a lasting brand memory.
