Chiquita UK Partners With Nickelodeon

Chiquita UK has partnered with Nickelodeon, the worlds number one kids TV network!

The banana brand - aiming to follow up on its 2015 consumer marketing successes, which helped double the company's sales figures - is using the partnership to expand its "Just Smile!" campaign, and follows on from Chiquita's tie-in last year with Universal Pictures and the hit movie, The Minions.

The fully integrated campaign includes an online microsite with games and recipes, and there is also a substantial social media initiative and promotional TV spots.

One of the most innovative features is the Just Smile! photo App. Exclusively produced for Nickelodeon's Worldwide Day of Play, the app allows users to take funny pictures with multiple filters and emojis including various fun Chiquita emoticons.

John Cockle, Chiquita's UK director says: "Last year's consumer marketing was the first we had done in the UK and we were delighted with the results. Consumer awareness levels of the Chiquita brand were significantly boosted and this has helped produce a 100% rise in sales of our bananas, hence the decision to expand our marketing activity this year.

"We are the only banana brand promoting directly to the general public in support of our wholesale and retail customers, and this policy is now embedded in a long term investment programme aimed at strengthening the Chiquita brand in the UK as part of the company's global strategy."

Other highlights of this year's promotional push are a repeat of the London taxi campaign – with Chiquita branding on both the exterior and interior of black cabs. This ran in October and was one of 2015's major successes. So much so that this year's promotion is doubling in size to 600 taxis in a six-week span.

As part of the taxi promotion, wholesale customers are being invited to breakfast events throughout June 2016 at New Covent Garden, New Spitalfields and Western International markets in London and also Brighton Fruit & Flower Market where they will get an opportunity to meet the iconic Miss Chiquita.

Additionally in London during the summer, Chiquita is featuring on the giant digital billboard in Piccadilly Circus, and will be seen by the millions of people every week who visit and pass through this world-famous location in the capital city. "Chiquita's commitment to the UK market is further underlined by our plans to advertise on the Piccadilly Circus billboards in June," says Cockle. "This is a very exciting venue and our campaign will be further brought to life by Miss Chiquita making an appearance every day of the promotion in Piccadilly, handing out our bananas to the public. We shall also be engaging the wider public through social media activity to support the campaign and provide opportunities to win prizes.

"All of the fruit and veg wholesale markets that serve the London area offer Chiquita Premium bananas to food channels such as retail outlets, open air markets, restaurants and catering facilities, so it's a very important market for us.

"We are pleased once again to be attending the London Produce Show and Conference, at the Grosvenor House Hotel on June 8-10. We look forward to welcoming visitors to the Chiquita stand, where they can see the range of our product offer and also meet the famous Miss Chiquita."

Rob Dyrdek's "Wild Grinders" Goes Mobile With Bubble Gum Interactive For New App

Home Plate Entertainment and Wild Grinders, LLC have announced in the following press release that they have partnered with the Australian game development studio Bubble Gum Interactive to create a brand-new "Wild Grinders" App based on the hit NickToons USA animated skateboarding-themed series!

The game will be available on both iOS and Android platforms and is being slated to be released in the 3rd Quarter of 2014.

Original Home Plate Entertainment, Wild Grinders, LLC and Bubble Gum Interactive Press Release, from BubblegumInteractive.com:

Rob Dyrdek's Wild Grinders goes mobile with Bubble Gum Interactive for new App

June 13th, 2014, [...]

Home Plate Entertainment and Wild Grinders, LLC have partnered with game development studio Bubble Gum Interactive to create a brand new Wild Grinders App based on the hit cartoon series.

Los Angeles, June 12, 2014 – Home Plate Entertainment (HPE), led by Four-Time Emmy winning Industry veteran and Producer, Bill Schultz, announced today a deal to develop a mobile gaming App based on the studio's hit animated skateboarding series, Rob Dyrdek's Wild Grinders. The game which will be available on both iOS and Android platforms is being developed in collaboration with Wild Grinders LLC and Australian based Bubble Gum Interactive (BGI), creators of the multi-award winning games, including Cake Bake Blitz and Space Heroes Universe!

Slated to launch in the 3rd Quarter of this year, the game will be marketed as a free-to-play game, with In-App Purchasing required for certain additional extras, characters, skateboards, costumes and "unlocks" for levels not available with the free download. "The team at Bubble Gum is so passionate about the brand and the game – and they know how to translate that passion in to an amazing game" stated Schultz. "I'm truly excited seeing the Wild Grinders mobile app come to life. The brand itself has grown so much since our launch. From toys to an animated series, and now a Mobile Game, it's Amazing! We were looking for the right partner to bring Wild Grinders to this category and now we have it", explained Tracy Tubera Co-Creator & Creative Director for Wild Grinders.

"The game is in the style of the extremely popular "endless run action mayhem" games, where the player chooses a character and skates through as many levels as possible while performing tricks, collecting power-ups, dodging obstacles and evading the pursuing security guards!" described Bubble Gum Interactive CEO Phil Mason. "As points and items are collected, players will be able to progress and unlock new characters and levels. We are also adding a super cool social leaderboard and player-vs-player system so fans can challenge and track their progress against friends from all over the world. It is cutting edge and should be great fun".

The Wild Grinders series, currently in its second season on Nicktoons in the US, is loosely based on the childhood skate crew of creator, and pro-skater turned TV star, Rob Dyrdek, who also performs the voice of main protagonist Lil Rob, a charismatic young skateboarding phenom in the series who embodies imaginative and hilarious fantastical adventures with over-the-top street skateboarding tricks. The extensive and imaginative Wild Grinder cartoon universe is an abundantly rich basis for BGI's veteran team to create the mobile game, which will be available around the world.
