Our work — Ice Cream Van for 'Riri by Rihanna'
iMP CASE STUDY

Ice Cream Van for ‘Riri by Rihanna’

We branded one of our ice cream vans in full RiRi by Rihanna livery for a London-based sampling campaign.

How We Helped Bring RiRi Crush to the Streets of London

Working directly with Rihanna‘s perfume marketing agency we wrapped one of our famous ice cream vans in full RiRi by Rihanna livery, ready for sampling.

Working our way around the centre of the capital during London Fashion Week we targeted high footfall and busy areas like Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square and Great Portland Street.

Distributing a free sample of RiRi by Rihanna to consumers, with extra special gifts for Rihanna mega-fans, our event staff encouraged shoppers to take selfies against the backdrop of the highly visible ice cream van and upload them to social media channels to increase awareness of the fragrance launch.

Tweeting our next location as we toured London, the sampling staff distributed more than 5000 samples and supporting pieces of collateral in just four days, driving product purchase in nearby stores.

Even Rihanna was impressed – she uploaded a photo to her Instagram profile which received more than 400,000 likes.

Testimonials

Hiring iMP for an event I was leading on for a new client was a great decision. They turned around a high quality sampling event and promo vehicle with a very short turnaround time, and their staff on the day were incredibly enthusiastic and professional. They made the process easy and the client very happy, we'll definitely be working with them again.

Brand Director, Lee Kum Kee

David and team at iMP are the real deal - kind, personable, dependable, professional, and offer a craftsmanship that rivals any agency I've encountered in my career. We will absolutely be using iMP again for any future UK activations (if they will have us) and highly recommend for any companies seeking an incredible experience - ESPECIALLY if you're a US-based team like us, and need an expert on location.

Brand Director, Life360

We partnered with iMP Sampling & Experiential for a summer campaign with one of our clients, and we couldn't be happier with the results. They executed a total of 42 in-store events nationwide, and their team's expertise in sampling and experiential marketing truly shone through. The staff were great at engaging with customers and helping us to achieve our goal of increasing footfall and participation at each event.

Account Director, CreativeRace

We worked with iMP on stands for two different events and were thrilled with the quality of the items we received. The team executed our brief to a fantastic standard, working to a tight turnaround to deliver all materials required for both events, and were extremely supportive and quick to respond to any questions we had throughout the process. Thank you iMP for your work on this project to ensure we had incredible activations at both of our events!

We worked with iMP for our event stand and staffing of the Ideal Home Show. David and the team were fantastic, our stand was incredible and we had so many compliments on it. The staff were great, they are really high energy and engaged our consumers at the stand. I would highly recommend if you are looking to run any sampling or experiential events for your brand.

Had a wonderful experience working with David and the whole iMP team for an event this summer! David went above and beyond to help wherever possible and the branded ice cream van turned out beautifully. Hope to work with iMP again soon!
