TORONTO, December 6, 2021 - For more than 60 years Canadians have enjoyed Kraft Peanut Butter as a staple in their household, whether it be crunchy or smooth, and now the iconic brand has teamed up with so.da and Twitter to develop Kraft Peanut Butter Television, a digital first-of-its-kind variety show starring the beloved Kraft Peanut Butter bears, Crunchy and Smoothie. Hosted by ET Canada's Carlos Bustamante #KraftPBTV marks the ninth Twitter Original series with so.da and sees the brand's personality come to life in a new, light-hearted way with funny, inspirational, and always-entertaining content. The short-form series debuted with five episodes ranging from the timeless crunchy vs. smooth debate to blind dates and cookies for breakfast.
With the shift in how consumers interact with brands and our increasing ability to stretch beyond traditional advertising, we saw an opportunity to leverage Kraft Peanut Butter's distinctive icons to drive a brand-as-content strategy and build a deeper connection with our consumers, said Jacqueline Chao, Brand Manager, Brand Building & Innovation, Kraft Heinz Canada. We know how much Canadians love our Bears, and only they could bring this level of fun, wholesome entertainment to life, allowing us to engage with younger consumers and families in a new way.
With all episodes now released, the series has reached over four million Canadians and generated over 55 million impressions with almost half a million engagements watching #KraftPBTV to date.* Episodes continue to be available on Twitter and the Global TV App.
The campaign introduced a new marketing approach for the brand, taking on an entertainment-first philosophy to engage viewers through multiple different formats including in-feed videos, Twitter polls, and conversation cards Each element was creatively composed and produced by so.da and Arthouse (Twitter's internal creative studio).
Kraft Peanut Butter Television marks our ninth Twitter Originals Fueled by so.da series and we couldn't be more pleased with the continued success of this marriage of content and distribution, said Dervla Kelly, Senior Vice President of Marketing and so.da. Alongside our longstanding partners at Twitter, we were able to bring the Kraft Peanut Butter brand to life in an entirely new way for Canadians to engage with its iconic characters while sparking conversation and inspiring new recipes.
With the majority of the Twitter audience ages 18-35 state opening Twitter is the first thing they do in the morning or the last thing before bed, #KraftPBTV reached this powerful Twitter audience through the award-winning creative minds at so.da. A best in class example of delivering engaging content to an engaged audience in the moments that matter - the true power of our Twitter Originals programming, said Shay Thiyagarajah, Partnerships Manager at Twitter Canada.
Launched in 2018 Twitter Originals Fueled by so.da, has executed nine best-in-class programs with some of Canada's leading brands including #PowerUp with Samsung Canada (winner of two Digiday Awards), #DestinationDishes with CIBC, #BestNightIn with Stella Artois, and #ShopSmallStories with Amex Canada.
