The International Nut and Dried Fruit Council (INC) conducted a study on Latin America's Gen Z dietary preferences and debuted the NutTunes campaign as a result.
The study showed that nuts and dried fruits are valued by Gen Z for their health benefits. Although there were slight variances by country, peanuts, almonds and walnuts are the most consumed nuts by this demographic, followed by cashews, hazelnuts and pistachios.
To reach "the snacking generation" and their preferences for eating between meals, INC launched NutTunes, a captivating video series with 3D animation and AI technology. As part of the campaign, the most popular nuts and dried fruits come to life to sing about their health benefits and the full NutTunes playlist can be listened to on Spotify.
