Lidl is an official sponsor of the electronic music festival Tomorrowland. For 2015, Lidl wanted to give away free tickets that were part of the sponsorship deal. While amplifying the sponsorship in an impactful way towards young people. And at the same time strengthen the brand positioning of Lidl as a fresh discounter.
We came up with an original way to connect with our target group. But kept loyal to our “fresh product” strategy. The sound of fresh fruit and vegetables was used to recreate 10 of the most popular dance and electro songs that the Tomorrowland-generation can connect with.
All songs were turned into appealing music videos showing the fresh products of Lidl. We released a new fresh video clip every day – for two weeks. Everyone who recognized the song had a chance to win one of the lasts duo tickets for the festival.
“Tomorrowland tickets are hot. People tried anything to win.”

All 10 smoothies were available at the pop-up Lidl store at the festival. Every smoothie carried the name of the song. Traffic to the promotional game platform was generated through display, social, SEA and TVC. .
