The film tells how Cadbury launched a new chocolate bar called Fuse. We discover how the marketers locate a gap in the market, and then set about giving their new bar a “personality”- something to distinguish it from other products.

Fuse benefits from the Cadbury name – the “masterbrand”. To launch the new bar there is a big advertising campaign. But not everyone likes the ad. Some think it too ironic, others just silly. Public relations, too, plays a key part. The launch of the new bar gets TV, radio and press coverage. The launch is a great success – but does the world really need another chocolate bar?
