Syosset, NY (PRWEB) March 18, 2010

One part great taste, one part nutrition and several parts creativity. They’re all included in the promotional mix behind Ronzoni® Smart Taste®, a delicious white pasta containing several nutrients that are important to kids’ health. Millennium Communications is collaborating with New World Pasta, makers of Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta, to build market awareness and stimulate consumer trial with the “Ronzoni Smart Taste Challenge”...a multi-tiered promotional marketing program inviting families to try and taste the extra nutrition in the product. The program will run March 15th through May 31st, 2010. Consumers can participate by visiting smarttastechallenge.com.

It’s no secret to any mom that kids typically push away plates filled with healthy food. Ronzoni Smart Taste combines the taste appeal of white pasta with nutritious ingredients, enabling finicky kids to enjoy food they love without realizing they’re getting nutrients they need. “Ronzoni Smart Taste is a great product for moms...it makes a meal kids will enjoy and gives them an excellent source of fiber, calcium and vitamin D,” said Dave Heimbecker, Senior Director of Marketing for New World Pasta.

The multi-media “Ronzoni Smart Taste Challenge” marketing program includes display and search advertising, consumer promotion, social media, an online coupon and a promotional website which Millennium led and managed. In addition, Millennium collaborated with New World Pasta’s other consumer agencies resulting magazine and PR support programs. All media will drive consumers to the website where they can “take the challenge” by explaining, or showing via video or photo, if their families noticed the extra nutrition in Ronzoni Smart Taste pasta. Each entry will have an opportunity to win a $15,000 scholarship, a laptop computer or a $100 gift card. “We believe this integrated approach will generate awareness and trial to put this nutritious solution in moms’ hands and kids tummies,” continued Mr. Heimbecker.

Millennium Communications has worked collaboratively in the past with New World Pasta, developing and launching strategic promotional campaigns such as the successful “It Pays To Eat Pasta” sweepstakes. “We are excited to once again launch an integrated marketing program with Ronzoni. We look forward to sharing another success with our client, resulting in more Ronzoni Smart Taste boxes in more homes,” said Patrick Macri, President of Millennium Communications.
