Cirkle PR proudly managed a campaign that sparked widespread conversation and debate across the UK: “Nutella or Noutella – How Do You Say It?”
In celebration of World Nutella Day, our innovative strategy aimed to engage the British public in a lighthearted debate about the pronunciation of the iconic chocolate hazelnut spread, Nutella.
The Challenge
Crikle PR’s mission was to generate buzz and increase brand engagement for Nutella by leveraging a common yet overlooked aspect of the brand—the way people pronounce its name.
Surprisingly, a significant portion of the British population disagrees on the correct pronunciation, making it a perfect focal point for our campaign.
