In an effort to make carrots as coveted as a bag of barbecue chips, the Baby Carrots Campaign will be repackaging baby carrots in the form of junk food.
Crispin Porter + Bogusky, a high-profile ad agency is dishing out $25 million to drive up carrot sales with this campaign. Featuring a variety of online ads, an iPhone app, along with this junk food-packaged item being served in vending machines, this campaign hopes to promote healthy eating for the younger population.
