Breast cancer awareness strategy doubles sales of Campbell's Soup

November 2006

What would Andy Warhol think? The iconic red Campbell's soup can went pink last month, but it was all for a good cause.

The campaign was part of a "pink tag" breast cancer awareness campaign launched in Kroger stores during the month of October.

A number of products had tie-ins, but a unique Campbell's soup campaign available exclusively in Kroger stores featured limited edition cans of condensed tomato and chicken-noodle soup with pink and white labels emblazoned with a pink ribbon.
