Tic Tac® Chewy! has launched its inaugural creative campaign, titled 'Soft on the Inside.' Through this activation, the brand introduced its new fruity, chewy candy to the market.
The Soft on the Inside campaign features a series of lighthearted advertisements that showcase the candy’s unique texture — a crunchy shell with a soft, chewy center — while playfully illustrating how it can bring out the softer side of even the most hardened individuals. Set in diverse locations such as a courtroom, a tattoo parlor, and a biker bar, the ads aim to convey the universal appeal of Tic Tac Chewy! and emphasize that the candy can resonate with a wide range of consumers.
The campaign was developed by the creative agency Translation. It will run across streaming platforms and social media, supported by influencer collaborations and engaging content designed to connect with Gen Z audiences.
