The Problem

As UK temperatures soared, Churchill wanted to create a summer experience that would capture family attention, spread joy, and strengthen brand engagement. The challenge was to deliver a seasonal activation that would resonate nationwide within a limited timeframe.

Churchill Insurance branded ice cream van with Churchie mascot and child feeding it ice cream.

The Idea

We launched a branded ice-cream van roadshow, visiting four prime seaside locations across the UK. Key elements included:

  • Free scoops and branded treats for families

  • Churchie the mascot as the centrepiece of the experience

  • Online community engagement, allowing followers to influence pit-stops

  • A branded competition offering a year of free insurance, tying activity back to Churchill’s core product
