Cathedral City returns to TV with £1m advertising campaign

Saputo Dairy UK has announced a new £1 million advertising campaign to support Cathedral City, which will see the market leading cheese brand returning to TV screens.

The new ‘Reasons For Cathedral City’ advert, continuing from the brand’s ‘Stay Home’ campaign that aired earlier this year, showcases Cathedral City as a trusted go-to food staple, bringing moments of pleasure and comfort to a variety of at home meals.


The ad heroes a core range of Cathedral City Block, Sliced and Grated lines.

“Here at Cathedral City, we don’t believe that all cheeses are created equal. Through our ad we want to showcase to viewers all the great reasons Cathedral City should be the No. 1 cheese choice,” commented Neil Stewart, Cathedral City marketing controller.

“We believe the new ad will resonate with audiences, and get their taste buds going, while reassuring them that Cathedral City remains, as ever, THE cheddar brand they can rely on to help them deliver consistently tasty dishes the whole family will enjoy."

The campaign also supports the brand’s sustainability agenda by building awareness of the cheese packaging recycling programme, launched in July in partnership with TerraCycle.

The 30-second ad will run for seven weeks from 20 October through to 6 December across video-on-demand TV channels including ITVHub, All4, Sky Go and Sky on Demand, expecting to reach over 2 million of the brand’s target family audience. The ad will be further amplified by a social media campaign across Facebook and Instagram.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
