A snacking revolution

True Co. has been a disruptive force on the chewing gum scene, so it was no one's surprise that when they chose to focus on the candy segment, it would be an surprisingly delicious snacking innovation.

True Factory

To give True Dates an official introduction to the candy scene, True Co. wanted a colorful, story-driven, and still appetizing brand film, which simultaneously revealed the delicious creation of these small chewy snacks.

In another words, we wanted a magical candy factory.

Building the True Factory

In close collaboration with True Co., we envisioned a colorful and bubbly factory featuring tubes, hot air balloons, conveyor belts—and even a robot mascot helping out with the packaging. The factory focuses on the process of sorting, bathing the dates in cola, adding taste powder, and, of course, shipment & packaging.

"We were on the verge of launching a novel snack product that required significant consumer education...An animated video was the perfect choice to create a fun universe while emphasizing the process of applying candy flavors to dried dates."
