Ben & Jerry’s and Koala have come together to form a unique collaboration celebrating life on the sofa.
Kicking off between September 2-4 at Sketch Collective in Surry Hills, the Ben & Jerry’s x Koala Sofa Sessions is an activation highlighting the things one can enjoy from home, and comes with the creation of a Ben & Jerry’s themed Koala Getaway Sofa complete with a custom freezer and Getaway’s drawers filled with loads of goodies to enjoy a night on the sofa.
By attending, guests can go into a draw to win the sofa just by sitting on it. Media, influencers and the general public are invited to step away from the chaos of the real world and immerse themselves in a Sofa Session.
Guests can relax with their choice of a moo-vie or moo-ditation, whilst they tuck into one of 3,000 Ben & Jerry’s scoops on offer. They’ll also get their own B&J’s branded cozy merch to take home and some Insta-worthy snaps for keeps.
Rucha Sarma, brand manager ANZ, Ben & Jerry’s said: “Ben & Jerry’s is the ultimate sofa treat and what better way to showcase that than bringing consumers to indulge in some delicious ice cream whilst sitting on a comfy Koala Getaway sofa. A big thanks to Banter for making this fun and cozy koallab come to life”
Paulie Savant, director, organic marketing, Koala said: “Koala Getaway Sofa is quite possibly our comfiest and most family-proof sofa yet with twin drawers to hide whatever life throws at you! No better sofa than the stain-resistant Getaway to enjoy a pint or five of Ben & Jerry’s on and thanks to the whizkids at Banter. We’re excited to bring the delicious koallab to Sydney, IRL.“
Paul Den, co-founder, Banter said: “How do you show that Ben & Jerry’s is the perfect ice-cream for the sofa? You join forces with the perfect sofa, The Getaway. We’ve had an absolute blast partnering these two powerhouse brands together and can’t wait to see Sofa Sessions live in action.”
