Overview
Tyson hired Envision Promotions to generate retail excitement for the launch of the new Cheesy Chicken Nugget product with the goal to land additional shelf space and increasing visibility at Target. Envision paired Tyson with Chuck E. Cheese, creating a retail + in-restaurant partnership that delivered 299 million impressions, trial, and incremental family visits and brand love for both brands.
Tyson needed a compelling hook to introduce its new cheesy product in a way that felt relevant to families. Chuck E. Cheese was the perfect fit. The value was strong, the audience match was seamless, and the partnership created a cohesive story centered on mealtime and family fun.
