graze debuts first ever retail TV ad and new CEO (Chief Eating Officer)

graze debuts first ever retail TV ad and new CEO (Chief Eating Officer)

Healthy snacking brand graze has launched its first TV ad for as part of a £5m media value plan for 2021 - the brand's biggest investment to date. graze will air on TV screens across the nation from 8th April, with the ad set to reach around 40 million shoppers, equating to 80 percent of UK adults, as it looks to recruit new customers.

The advert will run first between April and July and give shoppers a fun behind-the-scenes glimpse into the breakthrough work going on at the graze HQ, led by the newly appointed Chief Eating Officer (CEO) - a squirrel. The ad marks the debut of the brand’s furry "CEO".


The other star of the ad is the brand’s Cocoa Vanilla Protein Oat Bites. Viewers will see the cereal bar range get the seal of approval from the CEO as it contains 45 per cent less sugar than the average cereal bar, while maintaining taste.

Pia Villa, Chief Brand Officer at graze, commented: “With health front of mind and more people looking for healthier snacking alternatives, now is the right time for us to be ramping up the awareness of our graze retail range.”

Shoppers see sugar as the number one barrier in the cereal bar category[1], and as part of its health promise, graze has removed a massive 160 tonnes of sugar in 2019 from its cereal bar range.

graze has also recently received its B Corp certification, which sees it join a strong line up of businesses committed to being a force for good in the world when it comes to people, planet and profits.

Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025

Paddy Power partners Dhillon's Brewery!

The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 will bring sports fans from across the globe to the West Midlands this month – and attendees will now be able to enjoy the World Cup’s official beer, as well as a specially curated menu of food and drink for the duration of the competition. Produced in partnership with Coventry based brewery Dhillon’s, Raider has been created especially for the competition, presented in bespoke cans that will satisfy lager lovers and sports fans alike.

“Bringing this international competition to the UK for the first time means that we want to give guests an authentic British experience – and what better place to start, than by launching the World Cup’s own official beer, brewed right in the heart of the West Midlands," said Prem Singh, Chief Executive of the British Kabaddi League.

Located in Coventry, Dhillon's Brewery is an award-winning microbrewery with a rich and dynamic story. The brewery was founded in 2015 by Dal Dhillon, who chased his dream of brewing beautifully crafted beer at the heart of the Midlands. The Brewery sits adjacent to the CBS Arena, one of the tournament’s venues, and from that base they produce exciting and well-crafted ales using a mix of traditional and modern brewing methods. The beer itself, Raider, is a Pilsner Lager; classic and refreshing with malty sweetness coupled with a crisp cool finish – and it’s 100 per cent Vegan.

Dal Dhillon said of the announcement: "We're thrilled to be partnering with the Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 and to be brewing the official beer for the event, which we're welcoming in the UK for the first time! As a home-grown business with deep roots in the community, supporting local initiatives has always been one of our core values. We're delighted to be uniting Coventry with the World Cup, to celebrate the rich cultural background both the city and the event have to offer.

The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 is hosted as a joint venture between World Kabaddi, England Kabaddi Association, the British Kabaddi League, West Midlands Combined Authority, the four hosting local authorities of Wolverhampton, Coventry, Birmingham and Walsall and the University of Wolverhampton. The championship will take place in venues across the region between 17th and 23rd March. The tournament is supported by £500,000 of funding support from the UK Government’s Commonwealth Games Legacy Enhancement Fund and by the championship’s title sponsor Paddy Power. The World Cup will also work with charity partner, Sporting Equals, to accelerate the charity’s goal of promoting community cohesion and eradicate racism in sport.

The Paddy Power Kabaddi World Cup 2025 official beer is now available to pre-order. The beer will also be available to VIP hospitality guests for the duration of the championships. Pre-order yours now at dhillonsbrewery.com/shop.
