"As a company, one of our key missions is to help improve people's health by educating them about the benefits of probiotics," says Mr. Teruo Tabuchi, executive vice president and COO of Yakult U.S.A. "We think that this campaign relays our message in a new, impactful way that we hope will make everybody smile."
"Research shows that while most Americans have heard about probiotics, they are not aware of their digestive health benefits," stated S&P's chairman and chief creative officer Rob Siltanen. "We specifically designed this campaign to help educate people about Yakult in a way that is as fun and flavorful as the product itself."
While Yakult is currently celebrating its 75th anniversary and more than 28 million bottles are enjoyed daily around the world, the shot-sized probiotic powerhouse was officially launched in the U.S. market in 2007. Official sales territories include California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Colorado and New Mexico, though smaller specialty grocers carry the product across the country and in Canada.
S&P was chosen earlier this year to help build greater brand awareness and teach consumers about the benefits of probiotics and a healthy digestive system in its current markets. It is a full-service advertising and idea known for creating famous, iconographic advertising.
Yakult U.S.A. Inc. is headquartered in Torrance, CA and currently distributes Yakult, one of the world's leading probiotic beverages, in the U.S. and Canadian markets. Yakult was created by microbiologist Dr. Minoru Shirota in 1935 in Japan to help people maintain good health. Yakult Honsha Co., Ltd. was established in Japan in 1955 and is regarded as the world's pioneer of probiotics. For more information, please visit www.yakultusa.com.
