Screen Shot 2014-01-29 at 8.03.23 am.jpgIn its first collaboration, Chobani and Droga5 have kicked off Chobani’s new brand platform, “How Matters,” through its first-ever Super Bowl ad, ‘Ransacked.’

Featuring a very discerning bear, ‘Ransacked’ offers a humorous look at what happens when Mother Nature is unleashed in a typical supermarket and discovers (to much chagrin) that natural food choices are disturbingly limited. The spot celebrates how Chobani differs from other yogurt brands through its commitment to using only 100% natural ingredients and the care it takes at every stage of the yogurt-making process.

Chobani is dedicated to doing things the right way and never taking shortcuts. Chobani is also committed to treating all those who interact with their brand with compassion, respect and humanity. In a world where what we eat is filled with artificial ingredients, chemicals and preservatives, Chobani encourages Americans to consider how their food is made, from the ingredients to the process.

“How Matters” encapsulates Chobani’s mantra and mission to make nutritious, delicious foods with only natural ingredients accessible to everyone everywhere — and making the world a better place while doing it.

The ‘Ransacked’ spot is being supported by a social media program and a redesign of Chobani.com.
