Cadbury Celebrations #MyBirthdaySong
Production
The entire song was created by a generative AI solution. Gan.AI was a technology partner for the Ogilvy Creative Tech & Innovation Team, together with Uberduck and Riffit. The song was generated in real-time, combining personalized lyrics, music, and vocals.
How it works
- Users scanned the QR code on the chocolate pack or clicked on the link in social media, which led to the Cadbury Celebrations microsite
- Users put information about their giftee: what makes that person special to them, nicknames, anecdotes, and choose a preferred music genre, from rap to hip-hop or classical, to match the giftee’s taste.
- A website created custom birthday song lyrics with the details about the giftee. Users can download the generated birthday song or share it with the giftee or on social media.
Delivery method
- A microsite for users to share information about what makes the person special to them, such as nicknames, anecdotes, and prized memories.
- Users can download the generated birthday song or share it with the giftee or on social media.
