SUMMARY
It's hard to become #1 in any category, but once you're there, it's even harder to keep it. Extra gum had become the #1 gum brand that all competitors now needed to source from. So, the team rolled up their sleeves and disrupted the category again by co-creating a new product designed to battle social isolation, not just bad breath.
By taking a highly-emotional and less-than-conventional route, the effort fueled unprecedented sales lifts (from +11.1% to +16.5%), secured Extra’s #1 category position and delivered Extra’s 6th consecutive year of growth.
