General Mills Cereal AdventureMall of AmericaBloomington, MN2003

Our team worked with General Mills executives and marketing leaders to openan indoor, 3-D themed environment at the Mall of America. It’s purpose was tofeature their cartoon cereal characters and educate the public, in a fun, interactive way. It featured the cereal making process and the healthy benefitsof whole grain cereal.

These experiences included walking the guests through cereal making from seed to shelf ,to introducing kids to their favorite 2-D characters, but in a 3-D “Off the Box” adventure, to letting kids create and make their own custom box of cereal.
