Happy Applecore

Leading cider brand, Crumpton Oaks is celebrating the summer months by turning back the clock to the electric energy of the 1990s and partnering with electronic music pioneer DJ Hixxy for a brand-new campaign, Happy Applecore, by McCann Birmingham.

Far from the typical idyllic country scenes, this electric new campaign celebrates the brand’s unique position as a category disruptor and builds on the success of their last hip-hop-inspired campaign, Straight Outta Crumpton, by McCann Birmingham.

As part of the new Happy Applecore campaign, Crumpton Oaks has teamed up with legendary British DJ, Hixxy, to produce an original, feel-good track, recorded by MC Whizzkid. Known for shaping the UK Happy Hardcore scene, Hixxy adds authenticity and infectious energy to the campaign.

The campaign for Aston Manor’s leading cider brand was designed to help retail trade connect with customers by transporting consumers back to the neon brights and high energy of the 90s. It also features original lyrics that put Crumpton Oaks firmly in shoppers’ minds as ‘the raver with flavour’.

The work will run across TV, VOD, social, and a unique OOH campaign throughout the summer. Alongside fly posters and 48 sheets in prominent sites, the OOH will feature on-theme psychedelic neon projection of Crumpton Oaks cider.
