Newborn Food Boosts Interest in Its Light Peanut Butter With Its “let’s
Build A Healthier World” Campaign To Raise Awareness of the Need for
Healthy Eating
In 2019, Newborn Food Products (owner of Lily’s Peanut Butter brand) organised a “Let’s
Build a Healthier World” campaign to raise awareness of the need for healthy eating. Lily’s is
one of only a few peanut butter brands that offer a light variant; its version, called Lily’s Peanut
Spread Lite, is sweetened with stevia. The promotional campaign involved the brand owner’s
hosting a series of events in different elementary schools in Metro Manila, where among other
things, the hosts appointed 10 pre-schoolers and students in Grades 1-3, along with their moms,
to be “Lily’s Mom and Me Health Ambassadors”. The campaign was apparently successful, as
Lily’s saw both its value share and value sales increase slightly in 2019 over the growth it
recorded in the previous year.
