Cadbury Bicentennial Celebration: A triumph of joy and generosity

Cadbury celebrated its milestone bicentenary with a ‘grand giveaway’ across UK airports this summer

One of Mondelez WTR’s most notable recent initiatives was its celebration of Cadbury’s 200th anniversary, a campaign that underscored the brand’s enduring legacy in the hearts of consumers. To celebrate, Mondelez WTR launched a series of immersive experiences across key travel hubs in the UK, showcasing Cadbury’s values of joy and generosity.

Mondelez WTR also introduced a travel retail-exclusive Cadbury Dairy Milk tablet as part of the bicentennial celebrations. This limited-edition product catered specifically to travellers, offering them a special opportunity to purchase a piece of Cadbury’s heritage.

Cadbury’s ‘glass and a half’ ethos, a symbol of generosity and kindness, is highlighted through the anniversary campaign

Strategic partnerships: Hudson Café at Sharjah International Airport

A key component of Mondelez WTR’s success in the channel has been via strategic partnerships that extend its brand reach and deliver new experiences to travellers.

A recent collaboration with Avolta, resulting in the launch of Hudson Café at Sharjah International Airport, exemplifies this approach. The café offers a premium experience that combines high-quality coffee with an indulgent food menu, including a wide selection of Mondelez WTR’s leading brands such as Toblerone and Cadbury.
