Ferrero Doubles Super Bowl 2027 Ads in $50M Sports Bet
Ferrero will advertise Nutella and Kinder Bueno during Super Bowl 2027, marking its second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. The move is part of a strategic shift to invest $50 million in sports marketing in 2027. The company's Super Bowl debut in 2026 drove a 140% lift in Kinder Bueno volume sales year-over-year. Nutella also gained organic attention from a viral 'Nutella in Space' video, boosting Amazon unit sales by 20%. Additionally, Ferrero launched Nutella Peanut, its first flavor innovation in 60 years. Michael Lindsey, Ferrero North America president, emphasized doubling down on investment to accelerate U.S. portfolio awareness and market share. Super Bowl LXI airs Feb. 14, 2027, on Disney-owned networks, with ads already sold out.
Ferrero appoints Mario Götze for Fulfil campaign
Ferrero Germany has appointed professional footballer Mario Götze as brand ambassador for its Fulfil protein bar, launching a new nationwide testimonial cooperation designed to raise awareness of the product. Ferrero introduced Fulfil two years earlier; the company plans a Germany-wide marketing campaign that leverages Götze’s profile to broaden the bar’s reach among mainstream and sports-interested consumers. The announcement and campaign details were reported by Lebensmittelzeitung on 19 August 2026 and by Horizont on 20 August 2026, the latter carrying coverage attributed to Ingo Rentz (LZ). Trade coverage highlighted the testimonial nature and nationwide scope of the partnership as part of Ferrero's push to elevate Fulfil’s profile in Germany’s protein-snack market. The move follows Ferrero's broader marketing emphasis on health-oriented snack segments.
