Produced in combination with MBM, Satellite, AKQA and SweeneyVesty, the campaign aims to prove that “pure chocolate craft reigns supreme with a Whittaker’s finest local ingredients at the very heart of it”.

Lifting the veil on the Whittaker’s factory, chocolate lovers are given a glimpse of the magical world of the latest block creation through TV and a social film – created entirely in-house by Auckland/Wellington agency Breakout Room.

Breakout Room head of content Amber Ardern said: “We have always loved crafting incredible Instagram creative for Whittaker’s, but this campaign is the pièce de resistance, a campaign that takes our previous work to the next level. It’s as delicious as the block itself.”

“The Delicious by Design campaign runs across TV, social, website, and shopper, to the Whittaker’s chocolate lovers community in NZ and Australia.”

“The Delicious by Design innovation story comes to life further through an immersive activation for industry, influencers, media and Whittaker’s chocolate lovers.

“Working with digital innovation company Satellite, viewers were catapulted into the world of Whittaker’s to experience the craft and care which goes into each block of Honey Nougat & Almond.

“Taste-testing along the way, with ingredient-inspired dishes designed by chef Will Mordido, it was a n immersive sensory event that took guests to delicious new heights.
