Hershey’s “Say It With A Kiss” Campaign Ends On a Holiday Tradition

Posted November 25, 2016

The Hershey Company and Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates concluded the end of their “Say It With a Kiss” campaign on a sweet note on November 21.

The campaign included The Nobles family, a gay couple that discusses the holiday tradition with Kisses Chocolate, which can make anywhere feel like home.

This was the last video of the campaign, which captures times of authentic, genuine, human emotion through real-life stories, Yussef Kuri, Kisses Brand Manager, wrote in a blog post.

From families to musicians to veterans, the campaign shows an array of diversity and features connected people from all walks of life through meaningful moments.

“Our company is one that values bringing people together around special and shared moments from people who love our brands to the employees who make our delicious treats and snacks, “ stated Kuri.

“We are proud to foster an inclusive workplace that reflects different perspectives and celebrates input from people of different backgrounds and experiences.”

Kuri also wrote that each story is the perfect example of the values and culture that is deeply embedded in Hershey’s and the company would like customers to share traditions, make new ones with loved ones, and, “take a moment to connect with…and Say it with a Kiss.”
