BBDO Beijing goes for emotional pull in latest Chinese New Year push for Dove chocolate

BBDO Beijing has created a film to tug on the heart strings in a campaign for Mars’ chocolate brand Dove which sees a career-driven daughter return to her mother’s side for Chinese New Year.

The five-minute film, which features Chinese actress Guan Xiao Tong, is the latest outing for the “Dove girl” who has been rolled out by the brand for two decades.

In the ad, a mother and daughter are seen sharing CNY through the years – with Dove chocolate never far away – until the daughter rebels and leaves home. She returns years later to find all the calligraphy they created to celebrate new year stored in a empty box of Dove.

BBDO said it wanted to link the brand to family love and Chinese New Year rituals.
