Tim Hortons has expanded its multi-campaign partnership with Ryan Reynolds, launching a co-created "Signature Donut" and a national fundraising initiative for SickKids and Tims Camps. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Tim Hortons has officially launched its second major collaboration with actor and entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds, introducing Ryan’s Signature Donut to participating restaurants across Canada. This follow-up to the successful "Ryan’s Scrambled Eggs" breakfast box represents a continued strategic effort by the brand to leverage high-profile celebrity partnerships to drive menu innovation and guest engagement. The new product features a Maple Butter Glazed Doughnut, developed in conjunction with the Tim Hortons innovation team. The rollout is supported by a comprehensive marketing campaign, including a new teaser and upcoming TV commercial produced by Reynolds’ creative agency, Maximum Effort. Strategic Product Development and Menu Expansion Following the positive market reception of the initial breakfast-focused collaboration, Tim Hortons is moving into the baked goods category to reinforce its core "uniquely Tims" identity. According to Hope Bagozzi, Chief Marketing Officer for Tim Hortons, the goal was to create a product from scratch that utilised new culinary components. The development of the Signature Doughnut involved several key innovations: New Dough Recipe: A specialised "pillowy soft" dough base was created specifically for this launch. Exclusive Glaze: The team developed a new buttery glaze to serve as the primary coating. Maple Integration: The product is hand-finished with an icing drizzle made with authentic maple syrup, targeting a quintessentially Canadian flavour profile. "After the rip-roaring success of our scrambled eggs, Tims asked me for follow up ideas. Almost every idea I pitched involved salmon and they never really sparked to those, so we settled on a Maple Butter Glazed Donut. It's incredibly delicious and I am so excited for Canadians to try it. If this goes well, get ready for salmon!" - Ryan Reynolds. Corporate Social Responsibility and Fundraising In addition to the menu launch, the partnership includes a significant philanthropic component. Tim Hortons and Reynolds have collaborated with the SickKids Foundation and Tim Hortons Foundation Camps (Tims Camps) to launch a limited-edition collection of fundraising T-shirts. The campaign features: Child-Designed Artwork: Four distinct T-shirt designs created by children who have received care at SickKids or attended Tims Camps. Omnichannel Distribution: One T-shirt design is available at participating physical locations, while the full collection of four is sold through the brand’s e-commerce platform, timshop.ca. Direct Impact: All proceeds from the apparel sales will be directed to support the missions of both organisations in aiding young people across Canada. Market Context and Partnership Longevity This second collaboration signals Tim Hortons' commitment to a "multi-campaign partnership" model rather than one-off endorsements. By integrating the celebrity partner directly into the product development process and CSR initiatives, the brand seeks to create deeper authentic connections with its consumer base. The strategy mirrors previous successful long-term celebrity associations, such as the "Justin Biebs" collaboration, but shifts the focus toward a more mature, humour-led narrative that aligns with Reynolds' established public persona. As Tim Hortons continues to navigate a competitive quick-service restaurant (QSR) landscape, these high-impact launches remain a central pillar of its domestic growth and brand revitalisation strategy.

Conagra Brands has appointed industry veteran John Brase as its next President and CEO, effective June 1, 2026. Brase, who brings deep expertise from The J.M. Smucker Co. and Procter & Gamble, succeeds Sean Connolly following a decade-long transformation of the company into a pure-play food leader. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Conagra Brands, Inc. has announced that John Brase will serve as the company’s next President and Chief Executive Officer, effective June 1, 2026. Brase will also join the Conagra Board of Directors. He succeeds Sean Connolly, who is stepping down on May 31, 2026, after 11 years of leadership that saw the company pivot to a pure-play, branded food platform. The transition follows a structured succession planning process. To ensure continuity, outgoing CEO Sean Connolly will work closely with Brase throughout the handover period. CPG Scale and Operational Excellence John Brase joins Conagra with over 35 years of experience in the consumer-packaged goods (CPG) sector. His background is characterised by high-level management of multi-billion dollar portfolios and a focus on operational productivity. Key leadership milestones in Brase's career include: The J.M. Smucker Co. : Most recently served as President and Chief Operating Officer, overseeing U.S. retail, international, and Away from Home divisions. His tenure focused on sharpening operational execution and driving growth in core brands. Procter & Gamble (P&G) : Spent approximately 30 years at the global giant, ultimately serving as Senior Vice President and General Manager of the $6 billion North America Family Care business. He was instrumental in the market leadership of iconic brands, including Charmin, Bounty, and Pampers. Richard H. Lenny, Independent Chair of Conagra’s Board, stated that Brase’s track record of leveraging advantaged business systems and driving top-line performance makes him the ideal candidate to lead Conagra’s next chapter. The Connolly Legacy The leadership change marks the end of an era for Sean Connolly, who took the helm in 2015. Under Connolly’s direction, Conagra underwent a total structural overhaul, divesting non-core assets to become a focused, pure-play branded food company. Strategic accomplishments during the Connolly era include: Frozen and Snacks Expansion : Scaling Conagra’s presence in high-growth, high-margin categories. Structural Streamlining : Simplifying the corporate hierarchy to improve agility. Resilience through Volatility : Navigating the company through the global pandemic and subsequent inflationary pressures via a "refuse to lose" operational mindset. As Brase prepares to take control, his primary focus will be on accelerating revenue growth and strengthening margins. He has indicated that his priorities include generating robust cash flow and unlocking the full potential of Conagra’s iconic brand portfolio, which includes Birds Eye, Marie Callender’s, and Slim Jim. Industry analysts expect Brase to apply the "productivity improvement" strategies utilised during his time at Smucker to Conagra’s supply chain and sales functions. His deep experience in "Away from Home" channels may also suggest a renewed focus on expanding Conagra’s footprint within the foodservice and hospitality sectors. The appointment comes as Conagra continues to defend its market share in the frozen and snack aisles against private-label expansion and shifting consumer health preferences. With the transition effective June 1, 2026, the market will be closely watching for any adjustments to the company’s capital allocation strategy or potential M&A activity as Brase applies his P&G-rooted expertise to Conagra’s diverse food categories.

Suja Life’s functional beverage brand Slice Soda has expanded its retail product portfolio with the national rollout of a prebiotic, probiotic. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Functional beverage brand Slice Soda, owned by Suja Life, Inc., has expanded its retail product portfolio with the national launch of its Pineapple flavour. The new product represents a calculated expansion within the functional soft drink sector, securing immediate nationwide placement across Albertsons retail locations. By combining a tropical taste profile with its established gut-health ingredient formulation, the brand aims to capture market share from shoppers seeking low-sugar, active-ingredient alternatives to traditional carbonated soft drinks. The launch comes amid a broader consumer transition within the beverage sector, where wellness-minded shoppers increasingly demand functional attributes—such as digestive support—in everyday formats like carbonated soda. Functional Formulation and Nutritional Standards The new Pineapple soda is manufactured to meet clean-label and better-for-you purchasing criteria in the competitive healthy soda segment. The product is formulated with a moderate-calorie base paired with active digestive-supporting compounds: 🍍 Pineapple Flavour – A bright, tropical taste profile designed as a natural alternative to conventional, high-sugar fruit sodas. 🧫 Digestive Support – Formulated with the brand's signature combination of prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics to actively support gut health. 📉 Low-Calorie Metrics – Contains 35 calories and 5 grams of sugar per can, produced without high fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients. To align with natural-channel retail standards, the beverage is non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and vegan-friendly. Retail Distribution While many products in the functional soda category struggle to replicate the carbonation levels of legacy soft drinks, Slice has formulated its range with a high carbonation level to deliver a familiar sensory experience. The new Pineapple variant joins the brand's existing portfolio of carbonated beverages, which includes Shirley Temple, Apple, Pacific Pop, Root Beer, Watermelon, Cherry Cola, Orange, Grape, Lemon Lime, Classic Cola, Ginger Ale, Grapefruit Spritz, and Strawberry. To support the commercial rollout, Suja Life is leveraging its established retail relationships to secure immediate shelf space. The nationwide launch at Albertsons allows the brand to scale its physical footprint and drive volume sales within the high-growth functional beverage aisle. Operating as a subsidiary of Suja Life, Inc., Slice Soda continues to focus its product development on combining traditional carbonated soda formats with modern, science-backed nutritional profiles, driving incremental basket sizes for grocery partners ahead of the peak summer trading window.

Beast Industries, the company led by Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, has announced a massive ambient marketing activation to support the second season of Beast Games: Strong vs. Smart on Prime Video. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Beast Industries, the company led by Jimmy "MrBeast" Donaldson, has announced a massive ambient marketing activation to support the second season of Beast Games: Strong vs. Smart on Prime Video. Starting today, 13 January , the show is extending its reach into the physical dining world through a partnership with OpenFortune . The campaign will see millions of real fortune cookies distributed at restaurants and in delivery bags across the United States and Europe. Gamifying the Dining Ritual The activation leverages the traditional fortune cookie ritual—opening, reading aloud, and sharing—to deliver branded content. The experience mirrors the core mechanics of Beast Games itself. Diners will receive cookies containing specific messages written for Beast Games Season 2: Strong vs. Smart . To drive engagement and a "treasure hunt" element, a limited number of rare fortunes written personally by MrBeast have been randomly inserted into the broader distribution supply chain. Strategic Rationale: Ambient Disruption The partnership creates a physical touchpoint for a digital property, inserting the brand into a moment of natural pause and conversation at the end of a meal. Jeff Housenbold , President & CEO of Beast Industries, commented on the strategy: "Innovation drives everything we do at Beast Industries. For Beast Games Season 2: Strong vs. Smart , we partnered with OpenFortune to place Beast Games messages inside fortune cookies at restaurants across the U.S. and Europe, turning an everyday moment into one of discovery and fun for millions of people. Fans never know which fortune they'll get, making the experience playful, unexpected, and true to the spirit of the show." The Media Platform OpenFortune specialises in transforming the fortune cookie from a confection into a scalable media format. By utilising an existing distribution network of restaurants, the platform allows brands to reach consumers in a "captive" moment where the ad unit is almost invariably read aloud and shared. Shawn Porat , Co-Founder of OpenFortune, noted the alignment between the format and the creator's brand: "Fortune cookies are one of the few moments people still slow down for, read out loud, and share. What MrBeast saw immediately is that this ritual already behaves like a game. There's anticipation, chance, and meaning built into it. At this scale, it becomes a powerful way to let people experience the show in real life."

NESCAFÉ’s "Third Half" campaign productises post-match social rituals through a sharing-format Espresso Keg, targeting the 73% of soccer fans enjoying coffee. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom NESCAFÉ®, the global leader in the coffee category, has announced the launch of "The NESCAFÉ® Third Half," its first dedicated soccer-inspired marketing initiative. Debuting simultaneously in the United States and Mexico, the campaign is engineered to transition coffee from a "morning utility" to a "post-match social ritual," specifically targeting the high-affinity fanbases of North American and Mexican soccer. The rollout includes a high-impact TVC and a multi-channel digital strategy, headlined by regional icons Landon Donovan and Luis García. The campaign is built upon the "Third Half" concept—a term coined by the brand to represent the period of intense social debate and connection that follows the final whistle. By positioning coffee as the primary fuel for this discussion, NESCAFÉ is attempting to secure a dominant role in the "liquid snack" and "social refreshment" windows that are traditionally dominated by alcohol or carbonated soft drinks. A central component of the strategy is the limited-edition NESCAFÉ® Espresso Keg . This format innovation is a move toward "ritual-led" consumption: Sharing Mechanics: Designed to be placed at the centre of a social gathering, moving the coffee experience away from individual cups to a collective serving. Format Relevance: The "keg" nomenclature mirrors the traditional beverage rituals of sports culture, de-risking the entry of espresso into a historically beer-focused environment. Data Driven Engagement and Fan Metrics NESCAFÉ’s entry into the sports sector is supported by significant market data indicating a clear intersection between caffeine consumption and soccer fandom. According to internal research, coffee is already on the "gametime roster" for 73 per cent of soccer enthusiasts. Furthermore, with 83 per cent of fans reporting that post-game conversations are a non-negotiable part of the season, NESCAFÉ is leveraging these established behaviours to drive trial. Rob Marsh, Marketing Director for NESCAFÉ, stated that the organisation is focused on "getting in the game" to deliver for fans where passionate debates peak. The partnership with Landon Donovan and Luis García provides NESCAFÉ with "sovereign" credibility in both the U.S. and Mexican markets. Donovan, the most decorated player in U.S. history, and García, a legendary Mexican striker, anchor the campaign in authentic sporting history. By utilising agency Casanova , a specialist in reaching diverse cultural demographics, NESCAFÉ is ensuring that the "Third Half" narrative resonates with the bilingual and bicultural fans who represent a significant portion of the North American soccer market. This approach allows the brand to scale its messaging across TVC, digital, and experiential channels without losing regional nuance.

The range comprises three distinct variants: ❄️ Frozen Vanilla : A classic, sweet vanilla profile. 🍂 Sweet Cinnamon : A spiced, aromatic option with a subtle sweetness. 🍯 Creamy Caramel : A rich, dessert-inspired caramel flavour. Each pouch contains eight individual 13ml sachets (8 x 13ml format). This portioned sizing is intended to provide a convenient, mess-free solution for both home use and on-the-go consumption.

The Newsroom Unilever-owned ice cream brand Ben & Jerry’s has unveiled its latest limited-edition flavour, Marshmallow Sky, marking the newest addition to the brand’s indulgent ice cream line-up. The new variety features a blue marshmallow-flavoured ice cream base swirled with marshmallow ribbons and mixed with chocolate chip cookie dough chunks. The flavour’s signature sky-blue hue is derived from blue spirulina, a natural ingredient containing phycocyanin, a pigment known for its vibrant colour and antioxidant properties. Ben & Jerry’s said that the use of spirulina was intended not only for its visual appeal but also for its potential nutritional benefits. Phycocyanin is recognised for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, while spirulina is a source of protein, B vitamins, iron and copper. Though some studies suggest spirulina may support heart health and have anticarcinogenic potential, Ben & Jerry’s emphasised that its inclusion primarily enhances the product’s natural colouring and better-for-you positioning. Marshmallow Sky will be available for a limited time in pint format at US retailers, while Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shops will feature the flavour as a permanent menu item. The launch reflects Ben & Jerry’s continued focus on novelty flavours and natural ingredients, as the brand balances indulgence with consumer demand for clean-label and functional food elements.

Carlsberg Group has partnered with Sapporo Breweries to establish a joint venture in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, alongside a licensing agreement comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. Featured in this news Alcohol Carlsberg Group The Newsroom The Carlsberg Group has reached an agreement with Sapporo Breweries to establish a major strategic joint venture across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, alongside a production and distribution partnership in the UK. The transaction expands on an existing distribution arrangement between the two brewers that began in 2024. The addition of Sapporo Premium Beer is intended to strengthen Carlsberg’s premium brand portfolio by introducing a product with established Japanese provenance. Jacob Aarup-Andersen, CEO of the Carlsberg Group, stated that the partnership allows the company to accelerate its growth ambitions in key Asian markets by combining Sapporo's brand with Carlsberg's local distribution networks, whilst initiating a new cooperation in the UK. Hiroshi Tokimatsu, CEO of Sapporo Breweries, added that the alliance is a key milestone in Sapporo's international business strategy, designed to support sustainable growth and deliver premium experiences to global consumers by utilising Carlsberg's operational platform in Asia and Europe. Joint Venture Structure and Financial Terms Under the terms of the agreement, Carlsberg will hold a 75% majority stake in the joint venture and will retain full operational control across the designated territories. Sapporo will acquire the remaining 25% stake. As part of the transaction, Carlsberg will receive a cash consideration of USD 643 million from Sapporo. This valuation represents a 2025 EBIT multiple of 21.3x. Carlsberg has indicated that it plans to utilise the cash proceeds to repay outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes. The completion of the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and required regulatory approvals. Regional Scope and Production Rights The joint venture will integrate Carlsberg's established operations in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Through this agreement, the joint venture secures perpetual, exclusive rights to produce and distribute Sapporo Premium Beer across these specific regional markets. The integration is intended to leverage Carlsberg's existing route-to-market capabilities and regional infrastructure to scale the presence of the Japanese brand. UK and Myanmar Licensing Agreements Beyond the Asian joint venture, the strategic partnership extends to Europe and other Asian territories through long-term licensing agreements. Sapporo will grant Carlsberg the licence to produce and distribute Sapporo Premium Beer in both the UK and Myanmar.

Crosta Mollica has launched a major range expansion across Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Ocado, introducing white pizza bases and pinsa bread to capitalise on its 48% year-on-year growth. comments debug Exchange Write a comment Write a comment Share Your Thoughts Be the first to write a comment. The Newsroom Crosta Mollica is accelerating its innovation strategy with a significant range expansion across the United Kingdom retail market. The brand is introducing a new white pizza base, garlic pinsa bread, and four additional pizza varieties to major retailers, including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, and Ocado. The rollout follows a year of exceptional performance for the brand. In 2025, Crosta Mollica reported 48% growth, significantly outperforming the broader UK pizza category, which saw a marginal increase of 1%. This expansion is designed to capitalise on the sustained consumer demand for premium, restaurant-quality Italian dining at home. Entry into the White Pizza Subcategory A central component of the launch is the Pizza Base Bianca, a move that reflects the increasing consumer interest in tomato-free "white" pizzas. Traditionally a staple of Italian foodservice, white pizza styles are gaining traction in the UK retail sector as consumers seek richer, cheese-led flavour profiles and more diverse culinary experiences. The Pizza Base Bianca utilises the brand’s signature Lievito Madre sourdough and is topped with a mozzarella sauce and cracked black pepper. This ready-to-top format is positioned to serve consumers looking for customizable, premium meal solutions. The base will launch in the chilled aisles of Tesco and Sainsbury’s from 13 April 2026 with an RRP of £3.25. Expansion into the Pinsa Bread Segment Crosta Mollica is also entering the growing pinsa category with its Garlic and Rosemary Pinsa Bread. Inspired by the traditional Roman-style dough, the product is characterised by a light, airy texture achieved through a blend of wheat and rice flours and a 24-hour slow-proving process. The pinsa bread is hand-stretched and features extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. To reinforce its premium positioning, the product includes a garlic-infused oil dosette for post-baking application. Launching alongside the Bianca base, the pinsa bread carries an RRP of £3.95. Diversifying the Pizza and Frozen Portfolio The expansion includes four new pizza SKUs designed to address specific consumer preferences, including vegan and multi-pack formats: Primavera: A vegetable-led chilled pizza featuring lemongrass mascarpone sauce and Taggiasca olives, launching in Sainsbury’s and Ocado. Siciliana: A vegan, cheese-free frozen pizza exclusive to Tesco, inspired by traditional puttanesca flavours. Quattro Formaggi: A four-cheese blend including Gorgonzola and Provolone, now available via Ocado. Salami Napoli Pizzette: A frozen two-pack mini pizza format aimed at the convenience and snacking segment. RRPs for the new pizza range are set between £5.50 and £5.75. Market Trends and Premiumization The growth seen across the Crosta Mollica portfolio reflects a broader premiumization trend within the UK grocery market. As restaurant prices rise, consumers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for retail products that utilise authentic techniques and high-quality ingredients. David Milner, chairman at Crosta Mollica, noted that the brand's ready-to-top formats have proven particularly popular, allowing for greater consumer creativity. The brand’s focus on regional Italian inspiration and sourdough techniques continues to differentiate it within a category that has otherwise seen stagnant growth. This expansion solidifies the brand's position as a leader in the premium Italian sector, providing a comprehensive range of chilled and frozen solutions across the UK's "Big Four" and online retailers.
