OREO arranged cookies to look like barcodes and placed them on milk cartons, so scanning them unlocked OREO offers.

The challenge

Plenty of households buy milk without buying OREO, despite the cookie's 'milk's favorite' positioning.

The idea

Shoppers who bought milk could scan the cookie barcode to unlock exclusive OREO deals. Retail partner data ensured offers were triggered only by genuine milk purchases, linking the two products at the shelf.
