Kp Snacks doubles investment in Hula Hoops Flavarings
KP Snacks, the UK’s 2nd largest snacks manufacturer, is continuing its advertising drive with a £2m investment in Hula Hoops Flavarings.
Running from March 4 through to April, the campaign will showcase the big, bold and irresistible flavours of the new crispy, light and melt-in-the-mouth snack and includes the first ever TV advert for the brand.
The light-hearted 30-second TV advert takes inspiration from the growing trend of stunts and pranks, popular on social media. Playful and high-spirited, the advert focuses on the truly irresistible taste of NEW Hula Hoops Flavarings, great snack for family sharing occasion. The media campaign will also encompass out-of-home, social media support and shopper marketing activations in larger retailers.
Kevin McNair, marketing director says: “We wanted to portray a homemade feel with this campaign, taking inspiration from the very home videos that our Hula Hoops consumers create with their families. With both the Hula Hoops Brand and the sharing segment experiencing double-digit growth, we are confident this new campaign will resonate with snackers and drive sales at every level in the supply chain, from wholesalers to independent retailers.”
