Rockit brings the traditional Chinese calendar date into the future with augmented reality to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival. One hundred sixty thousand gift boxes will be available to customers, designed by Shanghai-based artist Yixin Zeng. Customers can scan designs on the boxes to show interactive digital campaign elements.

"Last year, Rockit sales volume climbed 62 percent year on year (YTD September 2021 vs YTD September 2020). To continue the trend this year, Rockit will make a strong impact in-store with POS displays and themed stores to help drive sales of our innovative, interactive gift boxes," said Eric Dai, Rockit Market Manager for China.

"This year's Rockit x Yixin gift boxes combine cutting edge consumer technology and the festival traditions, creating shareable moments for our consumers and their families while building a connection to the Rockit brand and driving consumer demand."

The gift boxes contain three or six packs of the iconic snack-sized apples. Rockit is also collaborating with online influencers to build awareness for the campaign.

"Made from Rockit's recyclable packaging, the artwork depicts a crystal palace on the moon from a well-known traditional Chinese legend and has been displayed at interactive consumer roadshows in key retail stores across five cities in China," said Hannah de Valda, Rockit Global Brand Manager.
