Sound Lounge/Radio
M&M/Mars
Situation: M&M/Mars used its NASCAR sponsorship to execute a sales promotion with Publix, a major grocery partner in the Southeast. The NASCAR House Party sweepstakes intended to drive consumers to Publix stores to pick up M&M Frozen Snacks and register to win race day prizes.
Solution: I wrote the radio spot and a gazillion others like it. This one used humor to appeal to the M&M’s Frozen Snacks consumer and NASCAR fan while urging a visit to Publix. A winner each week would win a big screen TV to watch the race with Cousin Eddie – with party provisions provided by Publix.
Result: These programs typically delivered double and triple digit sales gains and a ton of market noise for the brand and partners.
