A self initiated University Project Campaign 1/4Many young people find it difficult to step outside their comfort zones due to fear of judgment, failure, or lack of self-confidence. To help overcome this, Ben & Jerry’s is launching the “I Scream, You Scream, What Will You Do For Ice Cream?” campaign-encouraging young people to try something new, embrace the unfamiliar, and be in with a chance to win their exclusive new flavour: Cow-A-Bunga Crunch.
Challenge
Primary LogoNew Flavour2/4As a brand-led campaign for Ben & Jerry’s, it was important to stay true to their brand identity. I worked within their brand guidelines using their colour palette, official typography, and followed their established product photography style to ensure consistency-especially when showcasing the new Cow-A-Bunga Crunch flavour.
The phrase “Cow-a-Bunga” captured the campaign’s joyful, energetic tone and became a key part of the visual language.

Titled “I Scream, You Scream, What Will You Do for Ice Cream?”, the campaign played on the familiar phrase to reflect Ben & Jerry’s playful tone while targeting Gen Z. It encouraged audiences to step outside their comfort zones, share the moment online, and join a fun, trend-led social movement.
Participants created an account and uploaded a short video to enter a prize draw, spinning a digital wheel to reveal rewards including the exclusive Cow-A-Bunga Crunch flavour, available only through the campaign.
How did the campaign work?4/4Brand Applications
A key highlight was designing the packaging for the exclusive Cow-A-Bunga flavour and art directing playful product photography. Posters brought the concept to life through light-hearted, relatable scenarios such as the cow mascot at a life drawing class.
The remaining assets were digital, including a website written in the brand’s cheeky, bold, and inclusive tone. The social content were designed to drive participation.
To reflect the brand’s global reach, I also showcased the campaign’s international potential by featuring friends from Germany, Spain, Portugal, and Iran, demonstrating how the message could resonate across cultures.
