Following a hugely successful year in 2017, healthy snacking favourite Ryvita is kicking off 2018 with not only a brand new campaign but also an exciting re-freshed look in addition a host of new and innovative products. On a mission to help women enjoy positive healthy living every day, Ryvita has teamed up with CRUK and one of the nation’s favourite faces and much-loved fitness fanatic, Davina McCall.

From eating well, to enjoying being active, to supporting a good cause – as a brand with strong nutritional credentials, Ryvita is on a mission to inspire women of all ages across the nation to feel happier and healthier than ever before by getting more good into their lives.

The £1.9 million campaign will run throughout 2018 comprised of digital, social and in-store activity fronted by Davina alongside experiential at Cancer Research Events across the UK. As part of this, Ryvita will be supporting over 5,000 women to get active by sponsoring them their first £5 when they sign up to a CRUK event – a unique fundraising initiative not yet seen before in the UK.

Following Ryvita’s successful launch of Rye Cakes, Ryvita will continue to innovate and create nutritious products with more inspiring product launches arriving in retailers this year. The first to be revealed are Ryvita Bakes and Ryvita Protein. A first for Savoury Biscuits, Ryvita Protein are the only high in protein product in the category. Research commissioned by Ryvita discovered that Protein is one of the top health attributes that Savoury Biscuits Shoppers are looking for (Source: Neurostrata 2017) but despite this being a huge trend, there was previously nothing in the category to satisfy this need. Ryvita Protein used Pea-Protein to help create 2 new high in protein* flavours – Red Quinoa & Sesame and Linseeds & Nigella Seeds. Ryvita Protein a delicious way to get more protein diet, particularly for those avoiding meat.

Ryvita Bakes have been created by Ryvita following research from Kantar which revealed that the second biggest consumer need to enable healthier eating is ‘more fruit and veg’. Available in two flavours: Beetroot & Sweet Onion and Tomato & Red Pepper, Ryvita Bakes are baked with real vegetable pieces, alongside being high in fibre and low in saturated fat.

In addition to this Ryvita are also launching a brand-new look for their flagship Crispbread range to help communicate the inherent health benefits of their product. All of the flavours in the Ryvita Crispbread range are full of Rye Goodness from Rye Fibre* – the bold, modern, new design (created by Coley Porter Bell) now highlights these benefits in addition to communicating the brand’s vitality. Ryvita’s new website will also focus on inspiring consumers with great tasting recipes using the entire range.

Kyrsten Halley adds: “2018 is going to be great for Ryvita, with our biggest and most diverse campaign to date; we couldn’t be prouder to be working with our incredible, new partners in Davina and Cancer Research UK. The relaunch is a great opportunity for retailers looking to unlock the healthy snacking category, using Ryvita’s strong health credentials and encouraging people to ‘Get More Good In’ to their lives.  The campaign is looking to inspire people in lots of ways through innovative & nutritious new products plus engaging and inspiring comms showing how we believe healthy living really can be enjoyable (rather than diets!) and having fun being active through our events series.”
