Nothing Cracks Like Magnum: Turning Sound into the Loudest Proof of Quality

Summary: Since 2024, Magnum is facing a challenge: cocoa prices hit record highs. Instead of downgrading quality, we reinforced our commitment to superior and real pleasure.
For Magnum, the crack is more than a DBA, it’s the ultimate proof of our quality: every Magnum cracks so loud because they’re dipped into a thick layer of premium chocolate.
So, we created a campaign that dramatizes this crack through the chaotic reactions it can trigger.
And the crack was heard: Total Magnum sales increased +28.3%, achieving the highest March market share in years.
