Cracker Jack brings iconic prizes to mobile via gamified twist

Frito-Lay’s Cracker Jack brand is bringing a fresh digital approach to its well-recognized packaging promising a prize inside by allowing consumers to download an augmented reality mobile application, scan a sticker in the snack pack and engage with four interactive baseball-themed experiences.

With baseball season getting into full swing, Cracker Jack is seeking to ramp up brand awareness and customer engagement by digitizing its most iconic experience: uncovering the prize located within its snack packages. Now, consumers can download the Blippar app and scan the sticker inside their Cracker Jack package to play one of four available mobile games or superimpose a picture of themselves on a baseball card shareable through social media.

“Interactive mobile experiences are becoming more and more ubiquitous in the consumer journey, so it makes sense that food marketers meet their customers where they are – on their cell phones,” said Omaid Hiwaizi, president of global marketing at Blippar. “Food is, by nature, often a social experience that is shared with family and friends, so interactive mobile marketing that consumers naturally feel inclined to share with others is a strong fit.

“Cracker Jack is a fun snack people relate with sharing. Using Blippar’s augmented reality technology; they can now share their experience in a new, fun way.”
