Still Going!(TM): Energizer® Unleashes a "Bigger, Better, Bunnier" Energizer Bunny™ in Multimedia Campaign

"For a generation, the Energizer Bunny™ has stood for long-lasting power and an unstoppable will to keep going and going. We know consumers love him, but lately, they've told us they want more Bunny," said Michelle Atkinson, Energizer Chief Consumer Officer. "So, starting this month, we're going to unleash the Bunny like never before, using today's media landscape as a perfect playground for his disruptive nature to break through."

The "Bigger, Better, Bunnier" campaign is the result of a yearlong development process dedicated to aligning the Energizer Bunny's iconic status with today's rich new media options. This combination unlocks new opportunities for the Bunny to surprise and engage consumers, allowing him to appear in moments that are authentic to his personality. The process resulted in an updated look and a jam-packed new agenda for the high-powered hare.

Consumers will notice that his look has been modified to show his fun, witty personality they all know and love. He's slimmed down, his facial features are more expressive, and we've increased his flexibility and movement to bring his playful nature and charisma fully to life. But certain aspects of the Energizer Bunny will remain intact, including his iconic pink fur, sunglasses, and blue flip-flops.

"I've always had a ton of heart for that bunny and getting to work with the team at Energizer has been a blast," said Roger Camp, Founder & Chief Creative Officer at Camp + King. "I'm excited to get him out into the world, and even more excited for some of the fun things you'll be seeing from him in new media channels."

Fittingly, the Energizer Bunny will debut his new style at New York Fashion Week on Sept. 13, showing off a new accessory at Angela Simmons' active wear show. From there, he'll be making a stir with some innovative appearances across well-known digital channels.

"We're not going to spoil all of the Bunny's surprises, but let's just say that you'll be seeing new sides of him, with more emotion and movement than what you've seen in the past," Atkinson said. "For example, he'll be showing up on YouTube bumper ads, just long enough to prompt a 'wha?' or a 'LOL' before users move along to their videos. He might even pop up as a Snapchat lens."

Not only is the Energizer Bunny's  disruptive and enduring personality being unleashed, but the brand's tagline is getting a change as well. With a nod to the "Keep Going™" tagline that accompanied the Energizer Bunny's original campaign, the Energizer® brand will introduce the "Bigger, Better, Bunnier" campaign with the tagline, "Still Going!_TM" The new tagline is designed to reinforce consumers of the brand's long-lasting heritage as well as its long-lasting products.
