TORONTO – Canada’s oldest and largest commercial bakery, Bimbo Canada, is teaming up with the highest grossing animated franchise of all time—NBCUniversal’s Minions. The program pairs Canadian staples such as Dempster’s®, Villaggio®, POM®, Sara Lee Little Bites® and more with the universally loved cultural powerhouse of Minions.
After a thrilling collaboration that leveraged the Jurassic World franchise, Bimbo Canada is working again with the licensing agency Branding Streams, who brings its passion and global experience with world-class brands to customized promotional programs that consumers truly enjoy. The Minions promotion, which spans social media, paid media, digital fliers, packaging and in-store displays, comes with exciting consumer giveaways. It marks Bimbo Canada’s second time collaborating with Cineplex Entertainment, who will provide rewards giving consumers access to all films from the Minions franchise on the Cineplex Store to watch from the comfort of their home.
“After a very successful initial partnership with NBCUniversal and Jurassic World, Bimbo Canada is incredibly excited to team up with Carl, Steve, Kevin and the rest of the Minions,” said Tania Goecke, Vice President of Marketing at Bimbo Canada. “This program brings some of Canada’s most beloved bakery products together with fun characters from Minions: The Rise of Gru, creating exciting, limited-edition packaging and merchandise for Canadians to enjoy with their families.”
The promo products are available in stores, and Canadians can take a photo of their receipt with two or more eligible Bimbo Canada products to win Minion-themed prizes. Participants simply need to take a photo of their receipt and upload to www.MinionsOffer.ca by Saturday, December 24, 2022 to receive a randomly selected Minions-themed prize while supplies last. Prizes include:
