Background

Healthy snack company Pändy, known for its sugar-free offerings at major grocery chains in Sweden and popular online pharmacies, wanted to extend its reach to new target groups. By partnering with the hugely popular children’s brand Maxi & Helium, Pändy sought to promote healthier snacking habits to families with children.

Collaboration

The collaboration resulted in two new candy options: Maxi & Helium Wild Berries and Maxi & Helium Tutti Frutti. These candy options offer the same great taste as regular candy but significantly less sugar—only 1 gram of sugar per bag.

The launch was strengthened with PR send-outs to influencers around Sweden. Influencer collaborations included Michael Forni, HannaHappy, Miss Molly and PappaPappaDotter.
