Raisin Bran's Will Shat with William Shatner Tackles the Fiber Gap

— February 2, 2026 — Marketing
Ahead of the Big Game, the first-ever Raisin Brain Super Bowl spot has been revealed, and the Will Shat campaign enlists William Shatner to address the 95% fiber gap identified by the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The commercial introduces Shatner in a high-tech command center, where he's tasked with bringing fiber to the masses—ultimately, the brand aims to underscore that the seven grams of fiber found in every bowl of Kellogg's Raisin Bran can "help get your gut back on track," especially after an evening of indulgence. Shatner makes several stops on Earth, from sports bars to Gen Z house parties, to spread the message.

Doug VanDeVelde, Chief Growth Officer for WK Kellogg Co. said, "By leaning into some fun wordplay with an absolute legend like William Shatner, we're making sure the message about fiber is impossible to ignore."
