Leading Seafood Brand Introduces Premium Quality Product with Retro Design
Bumble Bee Foods, North America’s leading seafood company, has launched its new Heritage Pack, premium-quality products with special throwback labeling reminiscent of Bumble Bee products from the 1950s. Bumble Bee launched the products as a nostalgic homage to the brand’s past and in response to continued consumer interest in clean foods with minimal ingredients.
The Heritage Pack products emphasize good and simple eating with just three ingredients including hand-selected solid white albacore or solid light yellowfin tuna, spring water and a pinch of salt. Products are available in 7-oz. easy-open ring pull cans making them ultra-convenient, ideal for sharing and optimal for creating delicious, contemporary recipes.
“The Heritage Pack is a fun way to introduce Bumble Bee to younger millenials looking for meal solutions that are high quality, delicious and packed with natural ingredients, and also to reconnect with Boomers that have fond childhood memories of eating Bumble Bee products,” said Bumble Bee President and CEO, Chris Lischewski. “This back-to-basics approach is a focus for Bumble Bee as we continue to provide the highest quality seafood with wholesome, clean ingredients”
Bumble Bee is supporting the launch of its new Heritage Pack products with a number of interactive digital, radio and in-store activations, including a remake of Bumble Bee’s 1970s commercial featuring a larger-than-life Bumble Bee Balloon and classic jingle. Creative partnerships have led to humorous video shorts with Richard Simmons and Mike Epps, plus health and wellness tips from LL Cool J.
