MANILA – JWT has created a campaign for Kit Kat, featuring newscasters taking a break.

JWT Manila and Kit Kat brings unusual newsbreaks

JWT Manila’s newest campaign for Kit Kat  shows a sportscaster, traffic reporter, weather girl or cameraman is in the middle of taking a break, indulging in a Kit Kat.

Launched at the end of October, the four spots, ‘Sportscaster,’ ‘Traffic Reporter,’ ‘Weather Girl’ and ‘Cameraman’ appear during prime time television. By situating the Kit Kat break within news updates, the ‘break’ becomes a surprise for viewers.

"The challenge for the agency was to create a campaign that would make noise for the brand,” said Dave Ferrer, JWT Manila ECD. “Instead of coming up with the usual 30-second TVCs, we thought it would be more interesting to use specific media placements where news updates occur. The ‘Kit Kat Break’ within media updates came as a surprise. It caught people's attention and the idea was easily remembered.”

“With Kit Kat being the brand synonymous with taking and enjoying a break, we aimed for something both creative and effective in communicating our message of Kit Kat as an engaging break experience that puts our consumers in the right mood for whatever’s next,” said Joey Uy, VP Confectionery Business, Nestlé. “Through this media campaign, we believe that Kit Kat has successfully engaged our target audience in a surprising way.”
