Catalina Snacks recently released a national better-for-you snack campaign called 'The Bright Side of Better.' The initiative follows the brand's strategic expansion from niche player to mainstream contender.
'The Bright Side of Better' marketing activation is a multi-platform initiative, developed in collaboration with creative agency Nomadic and media firm ICON International. The central premise of the better-for-you snack campaign is that nutritious snacks need not compromise on taste or enjoyment. The campaign highlights two flagship products that embody Catalina's nutritional value proposition — the high-protein cereal, which contains 11 grams of protein and zero grams of sugar per serving, and the snack mix, which boasts 10 grams of protein and ample fiber content. These specifications position the products favorably against conventional alternatives, with the brand claiming its cinnamon toast variety has become the top-selling protein cereal in the market.
