“You’re not you when you’re hungry!”
said Lizette de Guzman, National Sales Manager of MARS Philippines
Inc.
SNICKERS® today launched its newest
campaign In the Philippines, dubbed “You’re not you when you’re hungryTM,” a concept
which was developed behind universal insights that hunger makes a person weak
and behaves differently, ultimately affecting the people around us and our
performances. The campaign runs simultaneously in two other countries, Malaysia and Singapore .
“You’re not you when you’re hungryTM” is another
innovative ad campaign that brings out the benefit of SNICKERS®, especially for
the Filipinos; that it is a substantial bar that combats hunger to keep you
going while satisfying their sweet tooth,” explained Lizette.
Gracing the launch at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall
are Azkals Skipper Aly Borromeo,
Striker Phil Younghusband, and Midfielder
James Younghusband, as they can very well attest to how as
an athlete, they need their bodies to be at the optimal condition to perform at
the highest level.
“Crammed with roasted peanuts, caramel, nougat and coated
with milk chocolate, SNICKERS delivers a delicious and substantial chocolate
bar that combats hunger to keep you going. These have been the reasons why
SNICKERS® has remained one of the planet’s favourite treats. In Philippines ,
SNICKERS® Peanut 55g is the best selling single unit bar (ACNielsen Retail Audit, MAT December
2011 – single unit within bar segment, Imported Chocolate segment, Philippines ).
The campaign hits the Philippine shores
with the launch of a new television commercial (TVC) and an online contest.

way in satisfying your hunger and keep you going. But most importantly, to let
you be your usual self again,” said Lizette.
