World Of Taste: Hi-Chew Focuses On 'Flavors'

Hi-Chew candy's latest ad campaign is colorful, befitting its "World of Flavors"push.

Created by Gigasavvy, the four new taste treats  — Fantasy Mix (blue raspberry), Original Mix (grape), Tropical Mix (mango), and Dessert Mix (strawberry ice cream) — represent distinct worlds. The tag: "Choose Different. Choose Fun."

The "Worlds of Flavor" spot airs on multiple popular streaming services, such as Hulu, Peacock and Paramount +, as well as YouTube and the gaming platform PlayerWon. It has a social presence on Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat.

"We wanted to create an evergreen product commercial that we could expand upon as the Hi-Chew portfolio continues to grow," said Mitchell Fait, executive creative director of Gigasavvy. "It showcases an experience that gives each one of the brand's flavor mixes a unique personality for viewers to identify with and remember."
