"Forever Nutella®", airing during top national primetime, cable and morning shows, showcases the product's appeal and people's innate desire to spread that Nutella happiness. The commercial follows the journey of a single jar of Nutella® as it is passed between breakfast tables, waffle trucks and offices of America, capturing a sense that there's an endless chain of people who share a common love of Nutella®. "Spread the Happy" is an integrated marketing campaign with additional marketing efforts rolling out in 2014.
"Across America -- from kitchen tables to dorm rooms to restaurants - more and more people are smiling about Nutella®. When it comes to creating happiness in just one bite, few food brands have inspired consumer passion like this," said Noah Szporn, Category Director for the Nutella® brand at Ferrero U.S.A., Inc. "Nutella® paired with fruit or spread on whole grain bread is a great complement to any breakfast food, and the 'Spread the Happy' campaign shows the product's versatility."
