These new product categories, including the differentiated size and taste profile of Rockit™ apple, will be communicated to new consumers looking for healthy snacking choices for their lifestyle occasions through a new global marketing campaign – Rockit Every Little Moment. "We will launch our new product marketing and consumer-led campaign across all global touchpoints, together with our well-loved, cheeky brand character, Rocki for high sell through and consumer appeal. Early feedback from our global markets suggests that this will be a significant step for the Rockit brand to connect to millions of new consumers with our point of difference, and our approach to marketing a kiwi horticultural product in a global consumer-led way," says Julian. "We are excited about what lies ahead of us for 2025," concludes Grant.
