Godiva Chocolatier brings the ultimate chocolate experience to Cannes


Belgian premium chocolatier Godiva will reveal its exciting 2014 innovations at the TFWA World Exhibition (Yellow Village F33). Consistent with its mission to delight with the ultimate chocolate experience, Godiva will set the gold standard in premium confectionery. “In our consumer offer – through our Godiva boutiques, points of sale, in-store activation and product range - we aim to delight with a truly delicious chocolate experience that thrills the senses and captivates hearts of chocolate lovers everywhere. Godiva aims to bring happiness that lingers long after the chocolate has disappeared,” says Leen Baeten, Marketing Manager Global Travel Retail.


With every product Godiva excels at the details, no matter how big or how small, taking pride in the premium quality of its Belgian heritage and craftsmanship. For 2014 Godiva is introducing, exclusively in Travel Retail, a new gifting experience with ‘Messages Tout Chocolat’. This Limited Edition of 18 chocolates aims to surprise and charm consumers with an outstanding and sophisticated gift box design and thoughtful messages of Luck, Love, Joy and Zen. “This new offer, as part of our gifting portfolio, will allow travellers to choose a gift that really expresses a caring and emotional connection with the receiver. It is created to bring good feelings and happiness through a personal message with every chocolate, the perfect gift for friends, family and colleagues,” says Leen Baeten.


Godiva will also be reinforcing its sharing range with a re-launch of its quality biscuit range. The graceful new blue design conveys perfectly the collection’s promise of pleasure and journey of discovery. The luxurious style with gold European destination stamping reinforces Godiva’s heritage and quality standard.


Godiva will surprise and delight with its multi sensorial in-store activations to communicate its 2014 launches. Theatres and high profile activities will incorporate video, sound and smell to excite and trigger shoppers, delightfully engaging all their senses for the ultimate chocolate experience. “Delicious chocolates, unique experiences, and wonderfully presented gift boxes are truly Godiva when they evoke a gasp of joy” says Mohamed Elsarky, President International.


Godiva will introduce a new Travel Retail concept worldwide with exclusive openings in strategic and premium locations. “In 2013, we opened, in collaboration with DFS, an exclusive Godiva Boutique with seating area in Okinawa Galleria, downtown Japan, testing for the first time in Travel Retail the Chocolate Café concept serving hot and cold beverages, ice cream cup, tartes glacées and Japanese cookies. We are very excited about this new approach to introducing consumers to our brand experience” says Mohamed Elsarky.
Travel Retail is a priority at Godiva. In 2014, we foresee to introduce across regions some of our company’s best innovations. Inspired by our boutique concept, we will create and develop unique spaces reflecting all the best of the brand, from a unique product offer to a true chocolate theatre, sure to set the standard for a delightful shopping experience.”




Starting in Belgium in 1926, Godiva has developed a world-­wide reputation for excellence with a presence in over 70 countries offering a wide range of chocolate creations. Inspired by the values of Lady Godiva, her passion, generosity, boldness and pioneering spirit, Godiva Chocolatier creates the ultimate chocolate experience and makes the right statement, whatever the occasion. Perfectly combining its craftsmanship and heritage, Godiva's chocolate has become synonymous with luxury and innovation in Belgium tradition, bringing the best of Belgium to the world.
