Dankek 8 Cake solves your decision-making problem


Dankek 8 Cake is the first cake to offer two flavors in one.  Dankek 8 Cake won a Crystal Apple Award for its interactive banner. The banner, which appeared on the 19 web sites in February and March, was seen by 60 million users, 150,000 of whom clicked on the banner.

Dankek 8 Cake reached its target group via the internet. The creative and unique banner, which was designed to grab the attention of young people, was rewarded with a Crystal Apple Award.  While doing the detailed production work for the banners, the costumes were prepared special attention. Two different video banners first of all illustrated how hard it is to make a decision. To do this, the videos show a banana and an orange trying desperately to get the attention of chocolate that is trying to decide which to choose.
  The two banners get across the idea of how difficult it is to make a decision very effectively. Two comical characters, a banana and a orange are trying desperately to get chocolate to decide between them.  Their antics are very amusing.  In the end we see that “Making a decision isn’t so difficult because there is Dankek 8 Cake…” Dankek 8 Cake, designed with two flavors in the shape of the number 8, has had an impact on the market.  Commercials produced for Dankek 8 Cake have been recognized with a second place award in the chocolate candy and snack foods category.
