Our client Kellogg is seeking to increase its breakfast market share by expanding into several new brand categories including breakfast sandwiches, bars, shakes, crackers and chips. Kellogg’s brands like Special K have already successfully expanded into many of these categories. Since adults are increasingly eating breakfast on the go, these new brand extensions will allow adults to enjoy Kellogg products in a way that is more convenient to their busy lifestyles.

Another measure Kellogg is taking to appeal to an educated, high-income adult audience is adding nutrients to some existing products. Raisin Bran with omega-3s, Kashi Heart to Heart Chia and a multigrain version of Special K will all be introduced in North America later this month.

Kellogg is taking an innovative approach to regain the interest of the adult market by extending its popular brands into new and relevant product extensions. The Joester Loria Group looks forward to sharing more exciting news about our client Kellogg soon.

The Gains Project 2013

Posted Jan 3, 2013 | Tags: , , ,

 

Kellogg’s welcomed 2013 with their annual January 2nd celebration, “Gains Day” - a day to focus on all you can “gain” as you lose weight in the year ahead.

A recent study, commissioned by Special K titled, “Positivity and Weight Management: A Look at the Gains,” revealed that women who think positively about weight management were more likely to achieve their specific weight loss goals. As women commit to their New Year’s resolutions, they’re encouraged to join women around the world who have already started focusing on the positive as they “weighed in” online about what they want to “gain” when they lose in 2013 as part of a recently-launched Gains Project.

The Gains Project, which launched in early December, is an online destination at www.SpecialK.com that serves as a positive forum for women to share their desired “gains” with others and be inspired by one another as they think about weight management goals for the year ahead. ”The Gains Project”  provides women a way to use social media as a support system with a community of like-minded consumers.

Special K continues to be at the forefront of women’s weight loss initiatives and the Joester Loria Group is delighted to be working with Special K to identify inspirational tools for weight management success.
