Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- When designing their year-end limited-edition packaging for an exclusive social media giveaway, Lay’s decided to create four mood-ring inspired designs, linked to positive memories and emotions in hopes of invigorating a sense of energy or inducing a sense of comfort among Lay’s fans. With that in mind, Lay’s 2021 Mood Match focused on flavors that would inspire gratitude (Grilled Cheese + Tomato Soup), optimism (Cappuccino), feistiness (Chili) or cheerfulness (Salted Caramel).
- Inspiration
- With so many significant challenges in 2020, including those caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic, Lay’s wanted to give their consumers a quick break from reality as we looked ahead with hope to 2021. With Lay’s 2021 Mood Match, ultimately the Lay’s brand was able to find a fun and innovative way to create a moment for consumers to unwrap their silver lining, focus on the future, and embrace a little joy as they looked ahead to a new year.
