Launching for the first time in the Middle East this year, The Hershey Company announces its 2024 celebration of International Women’s Day with limited-edition Hershey’s.
Speaking about the campaign, Ahmad Nasser, General Manager at Hershey Middle East said, “We are excited to support the worldwide celebration for International Women’s Day here in the Middle East and to use the iconic Hershey’s chocolate bar wrapper as an opportunity to celebrate HER for who SHE is. This month-long celebration pays tribute to all women across the region and offers consumers an authentic way to connect, honor and express gratitude to the inspirational women in their own lives, not only on this day, but throughout the year.”
Paying tribute to women across the region, the packaging features words like creative, unique, and brave, to shine a light on the remarkable qualities of women, encouraging families and communities to recognize the women in their lives and celebrate HER for who SHE is. The limited edition HER for SHE bars come in 3 flavors – Cookies ‘N’ Creme, Milk Chocolate, and Cookies ‘N’ Chocolate and will be available at specific stores around the region.
The award-winning HER for SHE campaign first launched in Brazil in 2020 and reflects the brand’s spirit of togetherness, serving as a reminder to recognize the impact that women and girls have in everyday life. This year’s regional celebration will also extend to social platforms, where consumers will be encouraged to tag the women who play a central role in their lives, alongside the hashtag #IWD2024.
