| Notes: | For over 75 years, M&M'S has brought endless enjoyment to people’s everyday lives. But our classic packs hadn’t changed in decades, and we needed a new way to gain relevancy with the next generation of consumers. Since Millennials and Gen-Zers love to connect through humorous, made-to-share visuals, we found a way for M&M'S to help them do the same - by transforming our packs into shareable “Messages.” The program consisted of 34 unique designs and witty phrases printed on pack as a way for people to connect, communicate, and celebrate life’s everyday moments. (566 characters) Each Message was carefully written to bring our six Spokescandies’ distinct personalities to life - all while staying in the brand’s overarching jester tone. Using consumer research, we found the top nine sentiments and occasions that appealed to the millennial and gen-z audience, and tailored our messages to fit within them. Due to limited pack space, our messages had to be cleverly crafted to fit within the bag’s small canvas. |
