Campaign Objective

The Laughing Cow set out to create a cross-market Gift With Purchase (GWP) that could unify its joyful brand image across Southeast Asia while driving consumer engagement and purchase frequency. 

The challenge was to execute a multi-country rollout that balanced:

  • Consistent product quality and branding

  • Production and cost efficiency

  • Reliable, on-time delivery to multiple markets

What We Delivered – A Regional GWP That Brings the Fun to Life

DTC World designed and produced the Cheesy Mood Café Blind Box Plushie Keychain collection — a set of six expressive plush characters packaged in mystery boxes.

Each plush captured The Laughing Cow’s cheerful, imaginative spirit while supporting a regionally standardized production model for efficiency and brand cohesion.
