JAZZ apple sales go wild in cross-promotion with ‘Spirit Untamed’ film

T&G Global- Jazz Apple Promo Header Final

JAZZ apples and DreamWorks Animation teamed up for a wildly successful partnership this past spring with the cross promotion of the release of the film Spirit Untamed.

The result was an unprecedented sales surge for JAZZ thanks to a strong in-store and online presence. JAZZ apples jumped numerous positions in the Total Apple sales ranking by category, with an outstanding +19.7% growth in dollar sales and +18.6% growth in volume for the 24-week period ending June 19, 2021.

There was also an impressive increase of distribution with an additional 110 retail locations signed up to sell JAZZ apples during this promotion.

In addition to co-branded packaging and retail promotions, the partnership drove shoppers to stores with JAZZ apples on their shopping lists, the result of additional amplification via public relations, social media and a robust digital ad campaign that included YouTube pre-roll ads.

A dedicated website at jazzapplemovie.com featured a store locator, Spirit Untamed-themed kids’ activities and a signature kid-friendly recipe inspired by the movie: a simple-yet-delicious “Epic Adventure Snack” featuring JAZZ apples sliced into horseshoe shapes topped with chocolate hazelnut spread and sprinkles. The amplification effort resulted in more than 140 Million consumer impressions in May and June.
