Tropicana’s Brighter Mornings for Brighter Days campaign was given a new sense of meaning this year with Arctic Sun, an ambient stunt in the NorthWest Territories of Canada. BBDO Toronto sent a documentary team to the town of Inuvik, population 3450, to raise a huge helium filled balloon glowing with 100,000 lumens of light as the town emerged from weeks of darkness. The marketers also provided a free carton of Tropicana to every household in the community. Breakfast Television covered the making of the ad. The company’s Facebook page fan numbers swelled in response. The campaign won the Grand Fabulous Award 2010 (Food and Beverages Advertising).
