KP Snacks debuts new look for Pom-Bear, launches new flavours

KP Snacks' iconic bear-shaped snack, Pom-Bear, is back with two new flavours- Cheese and BBQ. Hitting shelves in August, the new flavours are non-HFSS and will debut in Pom-Bear’s new modern packaging, supported by a brand new TV, radio and social campaign.

Back on TV for the first time since 2018, the new advert launches on 9 September and showcases a playful and charming interaction between father and daughter as they share a bag of Pom-Bear. The creative narrative uses Pom-Bear as a reminder to parents to tap into their inner child and connect with their kids in spontaneous playful moments.


The campaign's tagline, "Put a little Pom in your Day" is designed to resonate with consumers and highlight the brand's playful spirit, while driving awareness of the classic crisp brand and its new range.

Emma Smith, Pom-Bear Marketing Manager says. “At Pom-Bear we’re passionate about bringing joy and fun to lunchboxes with our adorable potato bears. That’s why we’re so excited not only to be launching our brand new above the line campaign but also our two new flavours, adding variety and excitement to lunchboxes and family snacking occasions.”

Both new flavours, BBQ and Cheese, will be available in multipack formats, with the Cheese also available in single packs. They join the already popular Original flavour in multipack format, with Pom-Bear now having products in the top three flavours across the family multipack segment. The perfect addition to any lunchbox, late summer picnic or mid-afternoon snack, these tasty new flavours are non-HFSS, vegan, gluten free and contain no artificial colours or flavourings.

Multipack is the second largest segment in the CSN category, worth £1.4 billion and growing at +5.5%. Pom-Bear is worth £32.7m and growing at +8.1% and is one of KP Snacks’ most popular family snacking brands.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
