Fans of a particular product usually have no problem declaring their love for it online, but this social media campaign from [Kerrygold](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerrygold-butter-blends) challenges its fans to express their love in other ways. The 'I Heart Kerrygold' campaign for Kerrygold cheese and butter asked fans to get creative on Twitter, [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bob-evans-national-mac-and-cheese-day) and [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-shaped-crisp) by showing how they love Kerrygold's products. This promotional video for the campaign shows a guy singing his heart out with an ode to cheese, which is humorously over the top and fittingly cheesy.

Participants in the I Heart Kerrygold campaign have the chance to win $5,000 as well as a year's supply of Kerrygold butter and cheese when they tag their uploads with #IHEARTKG across social media. For a true dairy lover, this prize is a pretty big treat.
