The AI-powered campaign invites consumers to express feelings to their Forevers through an innovative and interactive experience which helps them create personalized dedications on the microsite (https://yourforevers.hersheyland.in/). Users can create and dedicate their proclamations by providing a few prompts, which will be transformed into a personalised ‘Snap Song’. The ‘Snap Song’ will have a custom photo and lyrics created and sung using generative AI technology. The output will then be shared with users, allowing them to share the heartfelt creation with their Forevers.

The brand has additionally partnered with leading storytelling platform Terribly Tiny Tales to showcase the dynamics of modern relationships through their highly acclaimed web show, ‘Butterflies’. The webisodes present a beautiful representation of love in myriad expressions, from the profound relationship between lovers to the cherished bond among friends.
