The spot opens with a disappointed young baseball player who soon perks up after being surprised with a box of SPAM® musubi to share with the team. Celebration ensues as everyone enjoys the snack. After all, if you have SPAM® brand, you have a party.
“We set out to convey that including SPAM® products makes every day happier and more special,” said Bruno Alves, brand manager for Hormel Foods International.
Aligned with the summer vacation period in Japan, the campaign, which includes a 15-second TV spot, 30-second digital spot and instore media, will run through the end of September. This is the brand’s first television campaign in Japan in 14 years.
