This football season, Hellmann's will drive a custom tailgate-inspired RV to the hometown of each week's underdog to hand out food and watch party essentials, and supply a dose of "mayo-tivation."
"We know that some people show up to the tailgate for football, and others show up for the food spread," says Chris Symmes, Head of Marketing, Dressings at Unilever, "Whatever your motivation is, Hellmann's is covering the spread for football's dedicated fans and helping to mayotivate them this season."
This initiative kicks off on September 29th and will continue for a few Sundays so that fans at local hotspots and neighborhoods can show up and support their team. With these tour stops, fans will be introduced to Hellmann's new mascot, Manny Mayo.
