SUMMARY
Hershey’s needed a powerful idea to reverse the declines in the crucial summer S’mores program at Walmart. We leveraged an insight about the heart of the Walmart shopper – they crave close family relationships. So we repositioned S’mores from a delicious, indulgent treat to eat, to an everyone-participates family activity that’s an emotionally bonding experience. And we emphasized that it can be experienced every day. Just think S’mores whenever you’re in the backyard. The result? Sell-in and sales bounced back +30% versus YA, and engagement goals by almost 900%!
