New OIKOS® ad showcases how its protein-packed OIKOS Pro® and OIKOS Triple Zero® can help everyone support their everyday strength
As the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs prepare to demonstrate their strength on the gridiron during the big game this Sunday, OIKOS is showing up for its fifth year in a row, reinforcing strength through its protein-packed snacking choices.
The brand is partnering with Hollywood leading actor and comedian Martin Lawrence and football Hall of Famer and media personality Shannon Sharpe to refresh the age-old punchline ‘Hold my beer’ with its own take – “Hold My OIKOS”–that puts strength at the center. The dynamic duo helps convey OIKOS’ key truth that while athletes require strength for peak performance, everyday individuals also need strength for their lives.
“Making my big game debut with OIKOS is exciting. I like being able to show America how high protein snack options can support the strength needed for any moment that may come your way,” says Lawrence. “While our game of golf takes an unexpected turn, you’ll see that I’m not worried. Thanks to great-tasting options like OIKOS Pro and OIKOS Triple Zero, I’m able to save the day.”
OIKOS – Big Day, Big Protein
To help celebrate Super Bowl LVIII, Oikos is taking an integrated approach as part of the “Hold my OIKOS” campaign, leveraging in-store displays, widespread paid and earned media, and the “Snack Strong OIKOS” sweepstakes.
Now through February 29, 2024, OIKOS is offering fans a chance to instantly win $25 and $50 Fanatics gift cards and to enter for a chance to win a Grand Prize Home Theater.***.
“I’m personally thrilled to work with OIKOS, not just because it was fun to play a different type of role on game day, but also because I’m personally passionate about their mission of tackling nutrition inequities through their work with HBCUs,” says Sharpe. “With strength at the core of OIKOS and of this ad, it’s been a perfect match for me. So, be sure to grab your favorite OIKOS flavor, sit back and have a laugh with us during the big game.”
In the brand’s latest spot airing on Sunday, February 11, Lawrence and Sharpe are out for a friendly game of golf—that is until they submerge their cart in a hazard. But have no fear, OIKOS’ lineup of protein-packed snacks is there to help fuel their strength and save the day. With OIKOS Pro’s 20g of high-quality protein and OIKOS Triple Zero’s 15g of high-quality protein, along for the ride, we see how strong snacking choices can help unleash the duo’s strength and demonstrate that STRONGER MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER®.
“We are proud to display our strength by launching a wholly integrated campaign in our fifth straight game day appearance, with our entertaining and hilarious ‘Hold My OIKOS’ ad creative, point-of-sale display, sweepstakes, and digital media. Through our star-studded talent of Martin and Shannon, we’re showcasing how our delicious snacking choices help everyone support their strength,” shares Rafael Acevedo, president/general manger at Danone North America.
