KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese and "Golden Voice" Ted Williams Spread Love This Valentine's Day
"Golden Voice of Love" Campaign Helps Feed the Hungry
GLENVIEW, Ill., Feb. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "Golden Voice" Ted Williams has received a lot of love and support throughout the past year, and now he wants to give back during this season of love. With his soulful voice, Mr. Williams will spread a little bit of love this Valentine's Day, and in the process, help feed the hungry through the KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese "Golden Voice of Love" campaign.
From February 12th through 14th, the KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese "Golden Voice of Love" campaign invites consumers to tag their Valentine's Day Tweets with #VoiceOfLove, and they'll fly straight to Mr. Williams' virtual mailbox. If he likes yours, he will record a personalized video reading the selected Tweet in his deep, soulful voice. Consumers will know if theirs was chosen when @kraftmacncheese Tweets a message to them with a link to view their video. All #VoiceOfLove videos will be available to view on the KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese YouTube Channel (kraftmacncheese). Additionally, each #VoiceOfLove Tweet spurs a donation of 100 boxes of KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese to Feeding America®, up to 100,000 boxes.
"Like many others, KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese was moved by Mr. Williams' story last year. We think that his amazing voice is perfectly suited to our campaign," said Noelle O'Mara, Senior Brand Manager, KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese. "We're pleased to be working with Ted again in 2012 and be able to offer him a way to give back by sending love and feeding the hungry this Valentine's Day."
The "Golden Voice of Love" campaign was created by KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese advertising agency of record CP+B, who worked with Kraft last year when Mr. Williams was hired to voiceover commercials as part of its "You know you love it" campaign. This year, Ted continues to be the voice of KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese as his recognizable, deep tone will be featured in additional "You know you love it" commercials. The premiere of the newest KRAFT Macaroni & Cheese ad, which features Mr. Williams' voice, will air during this year's Academy Awards® on ABC, February 26th4:00 p.m. (PST)/7:00 p.m. (EST).
