Instacart Debuts a Campaign in Kansas City

— February 9, 2025 — Marketing
Instacart has launched a unique and entertaining campaign in Kansas City ahead of the Big Game. This initiative combines grocery delivery with a touch of nostalgia and fun.

Instacart's campaign features iconic brand mascots like Cheetos’ Chester Cheetah, The Kool-Aid Man, and The Pillsbury Doughboy delivering select customer orders in the famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. This larger-than-life experience allows customers in Kansas City to potentially receive their groceries from these beloved characters, complete with photo opportunities and custom Instacart gear.

The campaign ties into Instacart’s first-ever Super Bowl commercial, which brings together these mascots for an epic delivery-themed ad. Additionally, Instacart’s Game Day Essentials Collection offers discounts on snacks and essentials, making it easier for customers to prepare for game day gatherings.
