To bring its legacy of gourmet flavor innovation to a new generation of fans, Jelly Belly launched a fresh new campaign that offers a playful nod to fine dining: Jelly Belly Bean Appétit. This refreshingly modern identity celebrates true-to-life flavors, elevated indulgence, pure joy, and experiences to match different moods.
For this elevated creative platform and a fresh new era, Jelly Belly introduced a curated collection of fan-favorites, like Endless Summer Collection, the Farmstand Fruit Collection, and the Signature 10 Collection, starring Strawberry Jam, Watermelon, Tutti Fruitti and other classics.
Jelly Belly now sports a fresh new look, complete with bold packaging, a redesigned website and a collection of digital short films that offer a look at iconic flavors like Very Cherry and Buttered Popcorn in comparison to their real-life counterparts.
