Homepride and Banijay Kids & Family announced a partnership that will see the former flour brand putting the latter children's entertainment content front and center to help catch the attention of shoppers this fall.
The partnership focuses on Mr Bean: The Animated Series with the title character front and center on specially marked packs of Homepride flour. The limited-edition packaging will see more than one-million units hitting store shelves across the UK, which will also put a promotion in the spotlight with fans getting the chance to win one of more than 75 prizes.
Senior Brand & Marketing Manager at Banijay Kids & Family Hannah Clarke commented on the Homepride and Banijay Kids & Family partnership saying, "This partnership leverages Mr Bean’s cross-generational appeal and Homepride’s trusted heritage for a campaign that is bursting with personality and retail potential. It’s a fantastic opportunity to spark family fun in the kitchen and brings a touch of Mr Bean’s unmistakable charm and humour to the baking aisle.”
