The ‘Delite-O-Matic’ sampling machine

Interactive vending machines are a great way to get consumer participation and engagement on ground. There are tones of examples out there, of which some have been covered here and some archived on SunMatrixTV. In this latest example ad agency Clemenger BBDO Adelaide has set out to see how far people will go for a free pack of Fantastic Delites (snack food).

So a machine dubbed the “Delite-O-Matic” was created, that gave people a free pack of Fantastic Delites by means of pushing a button hundreds of times or performing challenges. It was then put out on the streets to prove that because Fantastic Delites taste so good, people would go to incredible lengths to get them. Well, they weren’t wrong if this video is anything to go by… 😎
