3 MUSKETEERS® Encourages Teens To #ThrowShine And Spread Moments Of Joy

"This is an amazing opportunity to leverage the power of our brand to create a platform that spurs an environment of positivity," said Allison Miazga-Bedrick, 3 MUSKETEERS® Brand Director. "We plan to demonstrate how to #ThrowShine through a series of activations, including new packaging and digital video, but we're most excited to see fans share stories about their own #ThrowShine moments."

Fans can #ThrowShine by sharing one of the new 3 MUSKETEERS® bars that are available in retailers nationwide and feature 24 unique, uplifting messages. The messages vary from "you are awesome" to "you're one of a kind," which are all featured in a bright, burst of color on the front of the packaging.

The brand will also demonstrate what it means to #ThrowShine in a unique new digital video series created by Tribal Worldwide. The series features three different videos which each showcase a different perspective of a moment when one teen takes the time to #ThowShine to another with a 3 MUSKETEERS® bar. The videos feature a reimagined version of "This Little Light of Mine" by teen music sensation Bea Miller and will be released over the next couple of weeks on the brand's social platforms, as well as various digital networks.

Beyond the new bars and videos, the campaign, which was inspired by teen insights will extend the brand's digital-first approach and be supported by a variety of tactics designed to empower teens in relevant environments to conduct positive acts. The brand will continue to activate in various social channels, including YouTube and Snapchat, as well as implement an extensive influencer program.
