After undergoing global positioning research for the SKIPPY® brand, Hormel Foods discovered that consumers across the world believe peanut butter is one thing: simple fun. This led the company to use the beloved SKIPPY® brand to spread to peanut butterlovers everywhere. The simple joy of eating peanut butter will be brought to life across various brand platforms, from marketing to product innovations and in the new multimedia advertising campaign. The SKIPPY® YIPPEE™ ad campaign features interactive social components on peanutbutter.com, an online “Fun Button” and a 30-second “Fun Factory” television ad highlighting how the fun gets into the peanut butter. Throughout the campaign, fans can use the hashtag #SKIPPYYippee to share their own yippee moments and expressions on social media, which will be tracked using hashtags and clicks, quantifying the increased fun that the SKIPPY® brand brings to consumers. “Since acquiring the SKIPPY® product portfolio in January 2013, Hormel Foods has taken special care to cultivate and grow the brand; we wanted to hone in on the fun of enjoying peanut butter,” said Luis Marconi, vice president marketing, Grocery Products. “The SKIPPY® YIPPEE™ campaign is a fantastic way to showcase the brand’s new direction and revitalization under Hormel Foods.” The website and advertisements are the first in a phased campaign, ‘‘ The SKIPPY® YIPPEE™ campaign is a fantastic way to showcase the brand’s new direction and revitalization under Hormel Foods.

Each time the button is pressed, users receive a random expression yippee from the online content library, such as an animated GIF, short video or sound effect. • “Fun Factory” ad: The “Fun Factory” TV ad shows how the SKIPPY® brand becomes the fun peanut butter. As factory worker Penny examines the peanuts, she chooses those with the most personality to go into a jar of SKIPPY® peanut butter, while the un-fun peanuts are sent to a boring office party. Additional interactive digital elements are planned through 2015, including the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind peanut butter “art” and a challenge to fans and friends to play in a “Fun Factory” ’’ online game. The SKIPPY® YIPPEE™ campaign and the “Fun Button” will be promoted through ad units appearing across a broad mix of online media. n above: Interactive social components on peanutbutter.com November 2014 [5] products Jennie-O® turkey Thanksgiving made simple with the Jennie-O® brand T below: Website videos instructing differ- ent cooking and preparation methods for whole turkeys [6] inside Hormel Foods | www.hormelfoods.com he makers of the Jennie-O® brand recently added a robust holiday section to the brand website, jennieo.com.

The program designates employees in different regions to advocate for HYPE and lead events and activities in that area. In May this year, five locations were selected to participate in the first phase of the program. In just a few months, the ambassadors connected with other locations in their geographical area, held various events for coworkers, families and friends, and more than doubled the HYPE membership throughout their regions. These locations were selected based on current HYPE membership and spread throughout the country. A monthly conference call is held with all ambassadors to stay informed with what each area is organizing around the country and generate ideas for future events and learnings. “The HYPE ambassadors have accomplished a great deal in just a few months,” said Adam Stange, senior general accountant, and recruitment and retention chair for HYPE. “They have held various events and even raised $480 for the Kiss the Pig for CARE fundraiser competition to support HYPE at the Corporate Office. What the ambassadors have been able to accomplish in such a short period of time has been truly remarkable!” Read on for more information about what the ambassador programs around the country are doing for HYPE! n Bethlehem, Pa.

Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que® beef tri-tip from Farmer John Low-and-slow taste from heat-and-eat meat?
