Werther's Original is launching a new marketing campaign to target younger demographics while maintaining their core 45+ audience. The campaign will include redesigning packaging to appeal to younger consumers, creating social media presences on Facebook and YouTube, and launching a digital and outdoor advertising budget of $3 million. Print ads will also run bi-monthly in magazines targeting both male and female readers. The goal is to introduce a new "Be Original" slogan and campaign to encourage user-generated content while positioning Werther's as a traditionally simple yet unique product.
