Content Marketing Campaign for Chapman’s Ice Cream

Content Marketing Campaign

Content marketing idea for Chapman’s Ice Cream

By Mitchell Laskowski

“This is a student-concept for a Sheridan Pilon School of Business Digital Marketing Course”

#IceCreamDream will be a contest where fans will take pictures of themselves or their families eating Chapman’s Ice Cream in exotic locations. This activity causes families and friends to plan out a special location to take a photo for the contest, and get enjoy Chapman’s Ice Cream while doing it. Chapman’s is a family owned Canadian company with most of their customers being Canadian families so this contest should really connect with the fans.

This promotion can take place over Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram. People must be following at least one of our social media accounts to qualify for the contest. Having the hashtag #IceCreamDream posted with every photo/video helps bring awareness to our marketing campaign. The goal is to greatly increase the amount of followers on all our social media accounts, and increase the interaction we have with our fans.

 The grand prize would be a family dream vacation anywhere in Canada. I could be possible to partner up with Government of Canada to offer better prizes such as trips to National Parks or other important areas of Canada. Many secondary prizes such as free ice cream should be given out throughout the contest to encourage participation and to help make the fans feel like winners.


This campaign could take place anytime of the year, but summer would be the ideal time. Ice Cream sales are at their highest and it is easier for people to travel around in the warmer weather.
