Overview
In a highly competitive market, Cadbury sought to deepen its connection with consumers, particularly families with young children through digital entertainment-based engagement. Capitalizing on changing consumer habits, particularly among younger, tech-savvy generations, who expect more interactive and digital experiences from brands.
Solution
Cadbury Play Pad enhanced consumer engagement by introducing a fun interactive, educational app that delivered augmented reality experiences that blended entertainment and learning. Providing an extra layer of value beyond the treat occasion
Which appealed to both parents looking for educational tools and children seeking entertainment.
The Play Pad app offered a variety of interactive games and activities designed to engage kids in learning while playing with augmented reality features. Allowing players to interact with their surroundings, solve puzzles, and view 3D models by scanning the codes in each pack. Along with an activity zone allowing kids to colour objects that can later be brought to life in AR, enhancing creativity and learning.
Our involvement in Cadbury Play Pad was to create a range of offers that would drive both app download (in the form of cash back) and usage. Creating an additional value of layer to drive game play via a range of exciting, relevant in-app rewards to encourage players to play different games within the Play Pad. These rewards included exclusive offers like Rs.250 off on Myntra, Rs.500 off at VLCC, Rs.500 off on lenskart.com, 35% off on firstcry.com and 30% scholarship on Toppr.

Supporting Cadbury’s sales team via a dedicated Cadbury Lickables sales incentive rewarding participants with a range of high perceived value experiential rewards that could be enjoyed with their families.
A sales incentive program is a strategic initiative designed to motivate your sales teams, channel partners, or dealers to surpass their standard performance targets. It works by offering desirable, often non-cash, rewards—such as points, merchandise, travel, or unique experiences—in exchange for achieving specific, measurable goals like increased sales volume, market share growth, or effective training completion.
BigCity offers a versatile range of programs tailored to your commercial objectives. We implement short-term, tactical schemes, such as Sales Contests and Instant Win promotions, designed for rapid results during product launches or quarterly pushes. Concurrently, we design and execute long-term, Tiered Incentive Programs that utilize points-based structures, gamification, and leaderboards to drive sustained motivation, reward consistent high-performance, and encourage continuous skill development among your channel partners and sales force.
Our platform grants access to India's most extensive digital reward network, ensuring your incentives are highly aspirational and engaging for every participant.
