Branded Campervan Ice Cream Van for Pop Star Song Launch

Experiential Music PR Campaign

To celebrate the release of a major pop star’s new single, we delivered a fully decal-branded classic VW campervan ice cream van as a high-impact experiential marketing activation. The campaign combined nostalgic visuals with bold, modern branding to create a share-worthy, real-world moment that fans, press, and influencers couldn’t ignore.

This mobile brand activation brought the music release to life through custom ice cream flavours, colour-matched branding, and premium branded details, all served from an iconic vintage campervan.

Promotional Ice Cream Van Hire

Lexi Lui’s team wanted a creative, fan-first way to promote her new pop song that went beyond traditional digital PR. The activation needed to:

  • Feel playful, immersive, and on-brand with Lexi Lui’s visual identity

  • Be instantly eye-catching in public spaces

  • Encourage organic social sharing and press interest

  • Create a memorable, real-world experience linked to the song launch

Our colour matched branded ice cream for campaigns

We transformed one of our authentic 1970s VW campervan ice cream vans into a fully branded promotional vehicle using high-quality removable vinyl decals, designed to match Lexi Lui’s campaign artwork.

Every element of the activation was carefully considered to align with the song’s colour palette and aesthetic.

Key features included:

  • Decal-branded classic VW campervan ice cream van based on client’s own artwork and logos.

  • Custom ice cream flavours created exclusively for Lexi Lui’s song release

  • Ice cream colours precisely matched to the single’s artwork

  • Branded wafer discs printed with Lexi Lui’s logo

  • Custom cone holders featuring campaign visuals and artist branding
