swizzel partner coop

This November, visitors to the Co-op Live arena are in for a sweet surprise with the chance to immerse themselves in the world of Swizzels Squashies and to win treats and prizes at a Squashies experience zone.

As the official sweets supplier to Co-op Live, British sweet maker Swizzels will host the Squashies experience zone from November 15 to 30. Over the two-week period, a star-studded line-up of global music and comedy acts will headline the venue.

Visitors to the UK’s largest entertainment venue can gain exclusive access to the Squashies zone where fans are encouraged to squash up and snap a selfie on the first-ever Squashies sofa.

Featuring the signature pink and white colours of Swizzels’ Original Drumstick Squashies, the sofa is set to be a crowd-pleaser, inviting couples, friends, and family to cozy up and savour the moment together.

Fans can also get their hands on thousands of free Squashies and take part in a spin-the-wheel game to fun prizes. There will also be the chance to win tickets to see other global artists perform at Coop Live.

“Our partnership with Co-op Live has proved to be a real success so far, and Squashies have been a popular purchase across the venue," said Sarah-Louise Heslop, Head of Marketing at Swizzels. "Through this experiential event, we hope to sweeten music lovers’ visits to the arena, offering them the chance to sample Squashies, take part in some fun games, and snap and share some pictures on our brand-new Squashies-inspired sofa.”

Since forming a partnership with Co-op Live for its opening earlier this year, several different flavours of Squashies have been available to purchase at the venue, and Swizzels has also provided personalised rolls of its iconic Love Hearts to performers. Visitors to the premium area of the arena are also able to purchase Swizzels hampers containing a mix of fan favourites.

TENZING searches for "original Santa" in new Xmas ad

TENZING searches for "original Santa" in new Xmas ad

Natural energy drink brand TENZING has launched its first Christmas ad campaign – calling for the return of the original Santa Claus. The 60-second video looks at the changing physique of Father Christmas having signed a sponsorship deal with a famous sugary drink brand over 100 years ago.

The jolly character, depicted as he’s now known, did not always sport a round belly and bursting belt. Back in the day he was slim and strong, a powerhouse of festive energy – hauling trees and presents himself. No sleigh, no reindeer, and definitely no truck.
In the video, we see Santa having to make a decision; continue with the cash or opt for a healthier alternative. The ad ends with the return of the original Santa, half the man, fuelled with double the energy having chosen to drink TENZING.
