Old El Paso launches Team GB campaign for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games with integrated campaign

Mexican food brand Old El Paso has announced a stand-out campaign as part of its continued partnership with Team GB as part of the highly-anticipated 2024 Paris Olympic Games. The link-up kicks off this month with the brand’s biggest shopper marketing campaign to date, complete with a nationwide on-pack promotion across its entire portfolio, as well as a full-stack digital and social campaign featuring a raft of popular brand ambassadors from Team GB to rally the nation.

Designed to bring households together over delicious food as they cheer on their sporting heroes, the ‘Make Some Noise for your Home Team’ campaign is also offering the chance for fajita fans to win VIP tickets to experience the Games in person. Consumers simply scan the QR code on their participating Old El Paso packs to enter the draw throughout April to June.

Alongside the promotion, the partnership will be brought to life throughout the summer via a multi-million-pound media investment featuring its Home Team Heroes: Double Olympic swimming champion Tom Dean OBE, silver medal winning weightlifter, Emily Campbell, three time Olympic medallist and diving sensation Jack Laugher MBE and current BMX Olympic gold medal winner, Bethany Shriever.

“We are thrilled to be bringing to life our biggest ever partnership campaign with Team GB as we look to support our Old El Paso Home Team Heroes representing Great Britain on the world’s biggest stage," said Head of Marketing at Old El Paso, Aditi Hilgers. "As a brand that celebrates connection and community, we believe in celebrating the unique flavours and extraordinary talent that each individual brings to the metaphorical table.”

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

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.
