The Doritos x A Minecraft Movie promotion has been announced by the snack brand in the UK to help get fans ready for the upcoming movie in a decidedly delicious way. The snack promotion will see the brand introducing new flavors of its signature corn-based snack including The Creeper Vinegar and The Ghost BBQ with additional flavors also featuring specially marked packages. The partnership will encourage consumers to keep their eyes peeled for a square chip that stands out from the usual triangular shape, which will provide them with the chance to win up to £10,000.
Senior Marketing Manager Alex Nicholas spoke on the Doritos x A Minecraft Movie partnership saying, "This collaboration between Doritos and A Minecraft Movie gives us the opportunity to generate a buzz and growth for the category by being part of one of the biggest cultural entertainment moments of this year. Also tapping into growing flavour trends with the new flavour launches, this will support retailers in maximising sales and is set to drive appeal with a wide range of shoppers. Our “shape of things to come” advertising campaign has already got shoppers talking, so we know that the digital on-pack promotion and the iconic limited edition pack designs of our new flavours will delight both A Minecraft Movie and Doritos fans alike.”
