HI-CHEW, the vibrantly flavored chewy candy brand, is launching a playful Easter campaign – Save a (Chocolate) Bunny, Eat HI-CHEW. This tongue-in-cheek initiative encourages consumers to embrace HI-CHEW's fruity chews as a delicious alternative to the traditional chocolate bunny.
The campaign features an online pledge and a one-day activation in New York City. Consumers can participate online by signing the pledge to "save" chocolate bunnies and potentially win limited-edition HI-CHEW® Bites Easter Eggs and exclusive merchandise. Up to 1,000 lucky winners will be announced on March 25th (visit hi-chew.com/easter [invalid URL removed] for details).
New Yorkers get an extra treat! Today only, HI-CHEW Easter Bunnies roam popular Manhattan neighborhoods handing out classic Easter eggs filled with HI-CHEW's iconic packs. Signing the pledge on-site earns participants a free HI-CHEW Bites Easter Egg. Catch the bunnies between 9 AM - 11 AM ET and 12 PM - 3 PM ET at Soho (Prince & Crosby), Washington Square Park (5th Ave & Washington Sq N), and Midtown (5th Ave & W 33rd St).
This lighthearted campaign playfully positions HI-CHEW® as a delightful Easter option, offering a burst of fruity flavor alongside the festive fun.
