Case Study
Summary
For too long, Australians have been suffering. Suffering from the Chippy Slap. Whenever you reached into a bowl of potato chips, there was always someone there to stop you. Thankfully, Aussies needn’t suffer any longer. Because of Smith’s Thinly Cut. This paper demonstrates how our Stop The Chippy Slap campaign saved Thinly Cut – a brand worth $XX a year to The Smith’s Snackfood Company – from being deleted. Furthermore, it drove a 42% increase in sales and grew penetration by 46% – all at a time when Aussies were eating fewer chips.
