ERLANGER, KY – Perfetti Van Melle is excited to announce its new Airheads campaign,
Airheaded. This campaign is designed to encourage people to #PlayMore / #PlayDelicious, and to reintroduce the famed candy brand to an older audience. Airheads, the favorite candy among kids, adults, and even NFL Rookie of the Year Alvin Kamara, partnered with Creative AOR Huge to launch the new campaign.
Everyone remembers the Airheads commercials from the 90s, where heads exploded on the streets from taking a bite of the chewy delicious Airheads candy. Airheads and Huge wanted to extend a nod to these nostalgic spots in the new campaign.
The Airheaded campaign focuses on young adults in their everyday lives, as they take a moment to play by eating Airheads. With the tagline Play more, play delicious, these spots showcase these “grown-up” millennial-types doing things like riding the subway, playing tennis, or sumo-wrestling in their garages. But when they start eating Airheads, they become “Airheaded.” Their heads suddenly expand to comical proportions, enabling them to float, bounce, and play in a whimsical new way.
In addition to broadcast, the campaign will run across online and social channels including Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat through October 2018.
Through this campaign, Airheads and Huge want to instill the notion that anyone, anywhere, and of any age can enjoy Airheads and take a moment each day to #PlayMore and #PlayDelicious.
