Cadbury partners with alzheimer’s charity for new ad

Cadbury unveiled the latest installment of its celebrated “There’s a Glass and a Half in Everyone” campaign, part of the enduring Cadbury Dairy Milk ‘Generosity’ brand platform.

Created in collaboration with global agency VCCP, the new campaign continues Cadbury’s mission to inspire acts of kindness while showcasing how gifting chocolate can forge meaningful connections.

The campaign defies conventional advertising norms by spotlighting quiet, emotional moments over high-energy narratives, resonating deeply with audiences worldwide.

At the heart of the campaign is a touching 60-second film written by Simon Connor and directed by Steve Rogers, known for earlier Cadbury hits like Garage and Speakerphone. Produced by Biscuit Filmworks, the film tells the story of a daughter visiting her father, who is living with dementia.

Cadbury partnered with dementia specialists to authentically portray the realities of living with the condition.

The brand has also extended its collaboration with Alzheimer’s Research UK into 2025, continuing their shared commitment to raising awareness and supporting a cure for dementia.

Elise Burditt, Senior Marketing Director at Cadbury, said: “At Cadbury, we believe that generosity has the power to bring people closer together. ‘Memory’ illustrates how even a small gesture, like gifting a bar of chocolate, can hold deep meaning and connect us in unexpected ways. We’re incredibly proud to continue to work with Alzheimer’s Research UK to support their vitally important work.”

Nikhil Nicholas, Global Equity Lead, Cadbury, said, “It’s been an amazing journey, and we are very excited to launch our latest instalment of the generosity platform. This campaign is a continuation of our commitment to shining a spotlight on the really small everyday acts of generosity that are packed with emotion, bringing us closer to each other.”   

Chris Birch & Jonathan Parker, Executive Creative Directors at VCCP, added: “We’re incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Cadbury on “There’s a Glass and a Half in Everyone”. ‘Memory’ is a beautifully told tale that centres around, surprisingly, a long standing deceit. Yet it couldn’t be more generous. We hope people love it. The writing is straight from the heart.”
