Belgian-based ice cream brand Magnum has launched a unique and interactive pop-up event in London, England called the 'Magnum Pleasure Sensorium.' A truly immersive experience, the pop-up takes users on a journey inside the brand's latest bar, the 'Double Gold Caramel Billionaire.'
Created in collaboration with food artist Caroline Hobkinson, the 30-minute experience allows guests to explore the flavors of this highly decadent ice cream, layer by layer. On their journey, guests will pass through rooms such as the Chocolate Chamber of Sounds, Biscuit Passage, and the Ice Cream Core, taste-testing different ingredients along the way. At the end of the experience, each visitor receives a 'Pleasure Profile' and bespoke bar, which they are encouraged to share on social media.
For a pop-up retail experience the 'Magnum Pleasure Sensorium' is certainly on the more extravagant side. It is a truly multi-sensorial experience that engages guests both physically and digitally, making it a strong example of interactive retail marketing done right.
