Cadbury readies next phase of Spots v Stripes
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 04 July 2011 11:46AM
Cadbury is upping the ante behind its London 2012 'Spots v Stripes' campaign by making it more Olympic-focused.
Cadbury: Spots v Stripes campaign to focus on the GB Olympics team
The 'Spots v Stripes' campaign, criticised in some quarters, is shifting its focus behind the Great Britain Olympic team.
The campaign kicked off in earnest earlier this year, centred around the "play idea" of encouraging the nation to take part in games, ahead of London 2012.
The original activity asked consumers to support either spots or stripes. Cadbury is now distilling the campaign into support behind the games and the GB team.
The next major phase of the Spots v Stripes will kick off in the autumn, with the launch of 'Minute to Win It', a TV game show run in partnership with ITV.
This will be followed by marketing support across flagship brands such as Dairy Milk and Cadbury Crème Egg.
Norman Brodie, general manager of Cadbury's London 2012 programme, said "millions" of people have played 'Spots v Stripes' to date.

The console is dead: The Socialisation of Gaming
The games console as we know it is dead. When Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One earlier this week, it was clear that this was more than a device that would enable you to play Call of Duty or FIFA – this was, in Microsoft’s own words, “an all-in-one home entertainment system”.
