Crumpton Oaks returns to screens with £1,000 retailer giveaway

Crumpton Oaks returns to screens with £1,000 retailer giveaway

Aston Manor Cider has announced the return of its successful advertising campaign, Straight Outta Crumpton, to screens this summer.

The advert is a play on N.W.A’s ‘Straight Outta Compton’ hit, injecting both personality and fun into the cider category. Back on screens for a second year in a row, the Crumpton Oaks advertising campaign will be rerunning from 1 June to further disrupt the category on an even larger scale.


The advert forms part of a wider multi-channel marketing campaign, and will air across Channel 4, Channel 4 Music, Gold, Dave, Sky Music Channels, Sky Max, Sky Showcase, Sky Comedy and Comedy Central, amongst others.

To celebrate the return of Straight Outta Crumpton, Aston Manor is offering retailers and wholesalers the chance to win £1,000 cash. To enter, retailers and wholesalers need to stock up on any case of Crumpton Oaks between 1 June and 31 August, then scan the QR code.

They will then need to upload a picture of their invoice to enter. To further incentivise entrants, there are no limits on entries with one invoice per entry permitted.

“Following on from the success of our Straight Outta Crumpton campaign last summer, we have decided to rerun the campaign on a greater scale to further target 25-35-year-olds,” Katie Walker, Brand Manager at Aston Manor Cider, said.

“Feedback from retailers, wholesalers and customers across the country was overwhelming as we saw it really resonated with people. This is because this classic song appeals to both those who remember the release of the 1989 hit which paved the way for modern day hip-hop, as well as new consumers who will remember the hit playing in their homes while growing up.

“We are proud to share that Crumpton Oaks Cider is now the number one value cider brand in the impulse channel and we believe a lot of the brand’s success is down to our Straight Outta Crumpton campaign. By rerunning the TV advert on a bigger scale, we hope to bring a smile to many faces and celebrate with an additional cash incentive to retailers to wholesalers.”

Straight Outta Crumpton will also appear during the Ashes 2023, across Sky Sports Cricket and Sky Main Event. The campaign will also feature on digital channels including ITVX, All4 and Skymedia, as well as out of home adverts and social media platforms.

Crumpton Oaks Apple Cider is a medium cider, made from pressed bittersweet apples, which are blended with the juice from crisp dessert apples and then fermented to achieve a full flavoured refreshing cider.

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.
