Kashi* Launches #FullOfLife Campaign with Tessa Virtue to Help Canadians Achieve Mindful Eating Goals
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 9, 2020 /CNW/ - During this past year, Canadians are more aware of what they are eating than ever before, and for many of us, there is a constant battle between the pull of comfort food and the desire to eat healthier. Kashi* understands that sometimes life gets in the way of our best intentions and is launching #FullOfLife, an integrated communications campaign to remind Canadians that small, simple choices can make a big difference in staying committed to mindful intentions. The campaign will reach Canadians in stores, through social channels, via traditional media, and will also feature innovative new product introductions that help propel good eating habits. Working with Tessa Virtue – Canadian Ice Dancing Olympic Gold and Silver medalist – #FullOfLife is on a mission to bring delicious and diverse plant-based ingredients to more people, making it easier to fulfill our journey towards living well.
Now retired from Ice Dancing, Tessa is moving onto the next chapter of her life and is working on achieving her MBA. "After so many years as a regimented, focused athlete, I try my best to find balance nowadays. I certainly feel energized when I eat healthier and exercise, but it's also important to incorporate some treats, too," says Tessa Virtue, who along with partner, Scott Moir, is the most decorated Olympic figure skater of all time. "What I love about Kashi is their variety of products are made with simple, natural, plant-based ingredients that taste great. It makes it easy to be mindful. Whether I'm enjoying breakfast or satisfying my on-the-go snack craving ... Kashi has me covered."
Leading a Journey towards Feeling #FullOfLife
Just as everyone approaches living well in their own way, #FullOfLife will approach Canadians in different ways to make a meaningful connection. As the face of the campaign, Tessa Virtue will appear on in-store signage and on Kashi's social media channels. She will also host an Instagram Live session on @tessavirtue17 this Tuesday, November 10 at 7pm, where she will share her own tips on leading a more mindful lifestyle and her personal recipe for success. Other campaign elements include ongoing #FullOfLife social content, upbeat videos and shoppable assets, and a national Public Relations campaign.
Rooted in Realistic Expectations
Today's foodies expect brands to be clean and minimally processed, with recognizable ingredients. Kashi products deliver on this, as its entire range of cereals and snacks are Non-GMO Project Verified and free from artificial colours. Kashi cereal and snack bars are full of nuts, seeds, and grains; taste great; and are easy to enjoy every day.
"It's all about positive eating," says Christine Jakovcic, Vice President, Marketing & Nutrition, Kashi Canada. "Kashi provides choices that are delicious and made with simple, natural ingredients to help Canadians stick to healthy, mindful eating goals without sacrificing taste."
