Drive brand lift and increase affinity and awareness for Hidden Valley’s new Blasted product.
Hidden Valley Blasted Ranch Dipped Pizza Flavor was integrated into the Father’s Day episode of Martha and Snoop’s Potluck Party challenge in an effort to promote and bring awareness to this new BLASTED Ranch product. Snoop helped drive excitement for this product by choosing to use it as a dipping sauce for his French fries, reinforcing the brand objectives around maxing out enjoyment of everyday eating. Social content from VH1 and Snoop’s handles surrounding the integration allowed the brand’s messaging and Snoop’s excitement for the product to soar way beyond the linear screen, reaching targeted fans across all social touchpoints who were able to both experience and interact with this original content and big-name celebrity.
