The Take 5 Bar features a combination of five classic ingredients: pretzel, caramel, peanut butter and peanuts, all enrobed in rich milk chocolate.
Despite the fact that the Take 5 bar has never been a major part of the Hershey brand, the bar has attracted a large number of fans. Sales of the bar grew by 10% over the last three years even without any marketing support. But now Hershey is changing the Take 5 game plan.
Aimed squarely at millennials, the new marketing campaign has been designed to lure in a segment of the population that have a real need for an on-the-go eating product. Hershey hopes the Take 5 brand will meet that consumer demand.
