KP Snacks invests £1m in “Hula Licious, Hula Lightful” campaign for Hula Hoops Puft

KP Snacks invests £1m in “Hula Licious, Hula Lightful” campaign for Hula Hoops Puft

KP Snacks today announced a £1million investment in its “Hula Licious, Hula Lightful” campaign, driving awareness of Hula Hoops’ light, low-calorie and non-HFSS offering, Hula Hoops Puft. Launching from the beginning of February, the campaign will run for six months across multiple channels including radio, Video on Demand and Out of Home.

The “Hula Licious, Hula Lightful” strapline focuses on Hula Hoops Puft’s taste and strong credentials within healthier snacking. Coming in at just 72 calories per pack, Hula Hoops Puft offers a great option for a healthier daytime pick-me-up.


Last year, the entire Hula Hoops Puft range was relaunched, refreshing the brand with a modern new look and an exciting media campaign, while also being reformulated to be non-HFSS. With health remaining a key priority for shoppers and the healthy snacking segment growing in value +20.2 per cent YOY, the Hula Hoops Puft range offers the ideal choice as consumers seek out delicious and permissible snacks. The trend towards healthy eating is especially strong early in the year and the Hula Hoops Puft campaign is launching at the perfect time to engage consumers.

Aiming to continue driving brand penetration growth (+23 per cent in the last 24 weeks), the campaign will keep Hula Hoops Puft front of mind for shoppers and will boost sales for retailers. The continued investment in promoting the brand builds on a successful ATL media campaign last year which reached 49m adults across VOD, OOH and radio.

“Following on from a successful 2022, where we reformulated the product to make it compliant with HFSS legislation and rolled out a packaging refresh to help improve its appeal to adult consumers, the campaign will look to drive further consumer awareness of the brand," said John McDougall, Brand Manager at KP Snacks. "Daytime snacking is on the rise and shoppers will be increasingly seeking out more permissible options, with the beginning of the year representing a key period for healthier snacking, and Hula Hoops Puft is perfectly positioned as a tasty and low-calorie snack”.

Worth £10m RSV, Hula Hoops Puft products are consumed by over two million shoppers each year. Hula Hoops Puft continues to be a top-five Better for You multipack brand and is available in three tasty flavours: Salt & Vinegar, Salted and Grilled Beef.

Gnaw ‘new-stalgia’: pud-themed Chocolate Spoons and flavoured choc bars

Tapping into “new-stalgia” (an anticipated hot food trend in 2025), Gnaw has been working tirelessly to rethink Great British puddings by creating a number of “Hug in a Mug” classics (Crème Brulée, Bakewell Tart, Sticky Toffee Pud) in conjunction with an impressive “pudfolio” of dessert-flavoured bars: New York Cheesecake, Christmas Pudding, Banoffee Pie and Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Desserts may prove divisive. For many the last course will always be a fitting finale to a great meal spent with friends of family, enticing comfort food that offers a nostalgic peek into happy custard drenched, ice cream topped memories from yesteryear. For others, desserts are an unwitting dalliance with guilt-filled soft sponges, buttery pastry, seductively sweet fillings, crumbly toppings, sticky sauces …
