Dairy Queen - Blizzard Store

Background:
Since its launch, the Blizzard has claimed to be the creamiest ice cream. To prove it, Dairy Queen created a ritual in-store: serving Blizzards upside down promising a spill-free experience or the customer doesn´t pay! Three decades later, this marketing trick became predictable. Even though the Blizzard has introduced new flavors and mixes, the brand needed an original experience that reconnected with its core value: creaminess.
Idea:
If every Blizzard must be served upside down, then we were going to build a whole store upside down. We constructed a Dairy Queen stand completely upside down. The structure was built from the ceiling down (rather than from the ground up). We hired a professional acrobat who was suspended from the ceiling and posed as a Dairy Queen employee handing out Blizzards. We positioned the stand in one of the main local malls on a day with high foot-traffic.
