Penny x Glücksgefühle
Penny x Glücksgefühle — the legendary festival collaboration. QR codes in Penny stores nationwide connected everyday shopping with one of Germany's biggest music festivals. Creator content captured the magic where FMCG meets festival culture.
Penny is one of Germany's largest discount supermarket chains with over 2,150 stores nationwide, part of the REWE Group. With Penny x Glücksgefühle, the brand created something legendary: a direct bridge between the everyday shopping experience and one of Germany's biggest music festivals — turning a discounter into a cultural force.
What Was the Problem?
How does a discount supermarket become culturally relevant for Gen Z? Penny x Glücksgefühle was the answer — but the festival activation needed content that captures the raw energy of 200K+ visitors, QR codes in every Penny store driving ticket sales, and the moment where grocery shopping meets legendary festival culture.
How We Solved It
We deployed creators at the Glücksgefühle Festival at Hockenheimring to capture the legendary Penny x Glücksgefühle experience. The genius: QR codes in Penny stores nationwide turned millions of daily shopping trips into festival touchpoints. Our creators documented everything — from scanning QR codes at the register to the festival grounds themselves. Short-form vertical content for Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts that proved a discounter can own a festival.
