Reese’s’ combination of chocolate and peanut butter is much loved in the US, though less well known in the UK. To change this, Mother created a social campaign rooted in a simple premise: that Reese’s loves putting peanut butter in stuff.

The campaign took this to an extreme, with a series of unexpected chocolate objects shown being filled with peanut butter. The films were set in a bright orange Reese’s world and accompanied by a sensual voiceover.

The brand harnessed the power of TikTok to build an army of Reese’s superfans with a taste for all things chocolate and peanut butter. Its TikTok content beat engagement benchmarks by 765% and it built a community of fans bigger than the UK’s market-leading brands combined, thanks to +77.5% follower growth.
