Global ‘Kids Voices’ Campaign

Everyone knows - kids always speak the truth from their hearts. During our voice-over recording, it was a priority to capture the organic and spontaneous comments from the kids who were enjoying eating Haribo Goldbears, adding a touch of genuine wonder to the campaign.
We had so much fun working on this commercial with the Quiet Storm Agency & Haribo team! From brainstorming sessions to all the laughter in the room, what a memorable production!
