Beyond the buzz surrounding Fox's Belvita hairstyle, Vance said the brand is seeing business growth with La Dolce Belvita, especially among younger consumers.
The brand added that the conversion rate from “consider” to “purchase” is highest among millennials compared to other demographics. Among TikTok's target audience, followers between the ages of 18 and 24 increased by 44% last year.
La Dolce Velvita spans a wide range of fields, from bar culture to fashion and beauty, and Vance said there are “nothing unexpected” going forward. What makes the campaign unpredictable and interesting, she noted, is that “different people live outrageous joy differently.”
Velveeta's ethos means that “consumers play a role in bringing the brand to life,” Hess said. “We give them the tools to live a happy life for themselves.”
