THE ASK
Bring Parmigiano Reggiano to New York holiday shoppers, driving trial and teaching consumers what makes the King of Cheeses unique.


STRATEGY
Pair tasting with storytelling. A six-week pop-up at the Union Square Holiday Market combined free samples with a for-sale menu, while staff educated shoppers on the cheese's origin, ingredients, aging, and where to buy it.
THE EXPERIENCE
Market-goers stopped by for chunks of Parmigiano Reggiano and a menu of gnocchi and risotto made with the cheese. Every tasting came with a quick lesson, from where the cheese comes from to what goes into a wheel.


RESULTS
Over six weeks, the pop-up distributed 226,800 samples, putting Parmigiano Reggiano in the hands of thousands of holiday shoppers in the heart of NYC.
