Twix poised to roll out global ad push
Twix is to launch its biggest global campaign in years with a humorous ad that attempts to position the brand as the snack of choice when taking a break.
Twix: 2010 pause and see more TV campaign
It is understood that the TV ads for the Mars-owned brand will break later this year. It will be the first global work since the consolidation of the Twix account into TBWA last April.
The agency already held much of the brand's business worldwide, but added the US account following a winner-takes-all pitch against SapientNitro.
Over the past 12 months, Twix has also been unifying its packaging design globally. The logo now features a pause-button device in place of the dot over the 'i'.
The change was intended to reinforce the brand's 'break' positioning - an occasion more usually associated with Kit Kat and its 'Have a break' slogan in the minds of UK consumers. The pause theme is being considered for use in Twix's ads.
The push follows a 1% dip in the sales of Twix to £43.6m in the past year, despite wider value rises in the category as the cost of raw materials rose.
Twix spent £3.2m on advertising in the year to November 2010, according to Nielsen.
Mars and TBWA\Network would not comment.
