Harmless Harvest, the makers of dairy-free coconut yogurt, have partnered with HBO's Hacks star Megan Stalter to launch a new 'Spooning Season' campaign. The campaign's title riffs on the idea of 'Cuffing Season' -- the time of year when things get colder, life slows down, and people begin looking to "cuff" a romantic partner for the winter.
The campaign features three videos in which Stalter teaches viewers about the "art of spooning," providing how-to guidance for conducting moves such as “The Big Dipper”, “The Parfait”, and “The Teaspoon." However, instead of performing these cuddling techniques on a person, Stalter uses a giant stuffed spoon.
"We wanted to do something unexpected, funny, and lighthearted while simultaneously leaning into timely, culturally relevant dialogue, all while giving a nod to our dairy-free yogurt alternative," said Heather Cutter, SVP Sales, Marketing, and Innovation at Harmless Harvest.
