LONDON, UK — Butterkist is delighted to announce they have appointed St Luke’s as its lead creative agency following a competitive roster pitch, held entirely remotely. Butterkist handled the review directly, involving a final stage three-way pitch against fellow roster agencies Iris and Engine.
St Luke’s remit for Butterkist will include development of a new brand creative platform and creation of all ATL communications that will help bring to life Butterkist’s core products and NPD’s.
Butterkist is part of KP Snacks, and St Luke’s joined the brand’s roster of agencies in 2019 following a successful competitive pitch against agencies including Wieden & Kennedy, BMB and Engine for the Tyrrell’s, Popchips, and KP Nuts brands.
Butterkist has been a firm family favourite for decades and is set to expand beyond their sweet and salty classics, with unexpected popcorn innovations.
Kevin McNair, Marketing Director of KP Snacks said, “St Luke’s has applied their characteristic passion and thinking to Butterkist, and we’re looking forward to working with them to capitalise on the momentum behind the brand, and take it to the next level.”
Ed Palmer, MD of St Luke’s commented, “It’s such a privilege to be adding the nation’s favourite entertainment accompaniment to the list of KP brands we work with. We can’t wait for showtime”.
Richard Denney, ECD added “It is very exciting times for Butterkist and St Luke’s, and we couldn’t be more excited to develop work the nation will enjoy as much as they do their favourite popcorn.”
