Wimbledon 2016 is on. So is Grey London’s Haagen-Dazs campaign, and the agency is making excellent use of the excitement that the UK is feeling about the annual tennis event as well as Haagen-Dazs’ sponsorship of it. The brand has just signed a five year agreement.
The campaign that’s built around the line, #LoseYourself, and aligns the thrill of Häagen-Dazs ice cream with that of Wimbledon, features reactions of tennis fans from the stands of the tournament.
Grey London hired fashion photographer, Adam Katz Sinding, who is known for his street portraits, to capture the highs and lows felt while watching Wimbledon. The agency then created an album on Instagram of joy, awe, despair, anticipation and suspense.
Of course, some of the subjects are eating Haagen-Dazs.
