KitKat’s new campaign breaks at airports

Nestlé has launched its 2016 global KitKat campaign in travel retail, celebrating the diversity of people who take a break around the world. Dubbed “However you break, share it”, the activation is built on the global Celebrate the Breakers campaign and is currently live in selected airports. It will be rolled out throughout the year to over 50 locations worldwide, including Rio de Janeiro, Paris, Doha and Singapore.

Sharing the experience with family and friends

Dedicated red brand spaces have been set up with four themed break benches: a Social Sharing Break bench is equipped with a whiteboard for personalised messages; a soft Relaxing Break bench features a footrest; a Music Break bench has piano key seats; and a Sports Break bench comes complete with football and net. Travellers are encouraged to capture their airport break with a KitKat selfie stick, available upon purchase, and share their experience with family and friends on social media using the #mybreak hashtag.

Speaking ahead of the global launch, Stewart Dryburgh, Nestlé International Travel Retail General Manager, said: "KitKat is a brand that creates natural, engaging and immersive brand activations that benefit everyone. Shoppers receive a unique experience, retailers gain increased footfall and conversion rates, and KitKat strengthens its fan base by being part of positive, break-related experiences. That’s why we constantly strive to keep our concepts innovative with shopper engagement at the heart.”
