Hershey’s Achieves +29pts Ad Awareness in Memorable REESE'S Multi-Product Campaign

Hershey’s partnered with Snapchat to strengthen their ‘Nothing Else is REESE'S” positioning and bring this campaign to life in a fresh way. Hershey aimed to build awareness and drive engagement with the Snapchat generation and specifically Millennials. The ‘Nothing Else is REESE'S” campaign was successful in driving these key KPIs - seeing lifts in Ad Awareness and considerable time spent with the branded experiences.

In partnership with Hershey’s, the Snapchat team strategically designed and built an equity campaign that included the full gamut of the platform’s ad offering, harnessing both the camera and content to deliver on the campaign’s objectives.

This multi-product solution included a major focus on the Snapchat Camera to engage Snapchatters with elements such as Augmented Reality Lenses (including a National Takeover) and contextual Filters, designed to enable the REESE’S brand to become part of Snapchatters’ conversations. 

This focus on Camera marketing was paired with a robust presence in content, and included placement between user stories, and in premium Discover content. In addition, Snapchat and Hershey built custom Story Ad units which engaged users and invited them to ‘tap to unwrap’, unveiling REESE'S product in the process. 

Snapchatters found the campaign memorable, improving Ad Awareness by 29 pts & exceeded category benchmarks. ¹ Snap Ads, Commercials and Story Ads included upfront product shots with audio & visual sensory cues proved to hold Snapchatters attention. 

The Camera strategy paid-off, resulting in meaningful engagement. The National Lens aligning with 'I Love REESE'S Day delivered a 6.74% Share Rate, delivering over 1 million earned impressions. ² Snapchatters further shared their ‘REESE'S moment’ with a contextual Filter achieving a 5.3% share rate exceeding the historical average.  ³
