loveholidays Turns Soho Into a Global Crisp Destination with Experiential OOH
Travel marketing often focuses on destinations, landscapes, and landmarks. This campaign takes a different approach by celebrating one of the most memorable parts of any holiday: discovering local snacks.
Created in partnership with creative agency ARK, Crisps From Abroad transforms a Soho pop-up into an interactive experience where visitors can explore more than 4,600 bags of crisps collected from destinations around the world.
The activation turns a familiar travel habit into a memorable brand experience that connects curiosity, food, and holidays.
Making Travel Tangible
Rather than asking consumers to imagine their next vacation, loveholidays invites them to experience a small piece of international travel through taste.
Visitors can sample unusual crisp flavors, vote for their favorites, take home free products, and even enter a holiday competition inspired by the winning destination.
The concept demonstrates how experiential marketing can transform an everyday product into a gateway for travel inspiration.
OOH Drives Discovery
The activation is supported by fly-posting across London, helping generate awareness before the pop-up opens.
This outdoor media strategy creates anticipation while directing audiences toward the temporary retail experience in Soho.
By combining physical advertising with a live activation, the campaign extends beyond awareness to encourage immediate participation.
Designed for Social Sharing
The experience was created with social media in mind.
Walls covered floor-to-ceiling with colorful crisp packaging provide highly visual backdrops, while tastings, giveaways, and influencer participation generate authentic content throughout the event.
London creators capture and amplify the activation, extending its reach far beyond those attending in person.
Connecting Food and Travel
Research commissioned by loveholidays found that many travelers associate discovering new crisp flavors with their holidays abroad.
By building an activation around that shared behavior, the campaign taps into nostalgia while encouraging consumers to think about future travel experiences.
Instead of promoting destinations directly, the brand celebrates one of the small cultural moments that makes travel memorable.
Bottom Line
Crisps From Abroad demonstrates how experiential OOH can turn a simple consumer insight into an engaging public activation.
By combining outdoor advertising, immersive design, influencer content, and product sampling, loveholidays transforms snack culture into a creative invitation to explore the world—one crunch at a time.
