Nothing says summertime quite like biting into a delicious hoagie on the beach, and nothing kicks it off better than Wawa’s Hoagiefest! Together with our friends at Forsman & Bodenfors, we crafted a campaign of summer stories starring a fantastic family of hoagie lovers that was as fun to create as it is to look at. Using the beloved hoagies and Wawa branding as our jumping-off point, we designed every character, environment moment, and transition to keep the hoagie as our hero across all deliverables - TV, In-Store, OOH, Merch, and Social!
In the end, flowing cel animation, beautiful food photography, and an originally scored pop track seamlessly mix together to create a delicious and inviting world to explore. You will want to watch again and again as you sing the song back to yourself, Hoagiefest is here!
