SUMMARY
The gum category had been in a free fall for the past five years, with plummeting sales and vanishing relevance. With only 4% market share, Dentyne couldnt afford to fall victim to the widespread, unrelenting declines that plagued the category. A two-fold objective: Reconnect with pop culture and reframe Dentynes fresh breath benefit. The opportunity? Food. The idea? Dentyne Follows Food. The results? 11% sales velocity growth the highest for Dentyne Ice since 2011. The cherry on top? Record-breaking engagement and a return to cultural relevance.
