Dignitaries and leaders from multiple sectors were invited to a symposium featuring the science and collaboration behind a new no-added-sugar chocolate ice cream product developed by KDD. The event was hosted by Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Science (KFAS) at Dasman Diabetes Institute (DDI) on June 12, 2024, from 10 am to 2 pm. The results of a science and technology project initiated by KDD, funded by KFAS, and supported by DDI was presented. In a clinical trial conducted by DDI, the no-added-sugar ice cream showed significantly lowered blood glucose and insulin responses in patients with diabetes. At the event, samples of the new ice creams optimized for positive metabolic health and nutrition were shared with the audience. The 3 flavours of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla were an instant hit and the audience immediately took to social media with the news. The event was covered by all major newspapers in Kuwait, as consumers wait for the commercial launch of the ice creams by the end of June 2024.

While KDD resonates with multiple age groups, we wanted to showcase the behaviours and the thinking of Gen Z consumers. These are consumers between the ages of 12 and 27 with their own needs and motivations. One concept that resonates with them is FOMO or Fear of missing out. We created a video that highlights this aspect of their lives, ready to try the newest trend and not miss out on anything the day has to offer. We also wanted to explain that sometimes it’s allright to miss out, since life’s moments are best enjoyed when you are in the company of people that matter. This is referred to as JOMO or the Joy of missing out. The video was launched during Ramadan which is also a time of reflection and purpose.
