KNORR CELEBRATES THE POWER OF CONNECTION WITH UNIQUE "TASTE OF HOME" CAMPAIGN

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Knorr, a global flavor expert, today launched its "Taste of Home" campaign to celebrate the rich food culture of diverse communities in North America. As a global food brand since 1838, Knorr has been a pantry staple for many Americans and Canadians in their countries of origin. Here in the United States and Canada markets, Knorr's portfolio also includes the best-selling products from many parts of the world such as Knorr Mexican Mi Arroz, Knorr Chinese Chicken Broth Mix, Knorr Filipino Sinigang Soup mixes, and many more. Knorr aspires to be a kitchen partner that home chefs can trust to deliver their authentic flavors. Food has always had a magical power of creating connections and memories, and Knorr is excited to use their platform to amplify voices, talents and the journey of diverse communities through their food stories.

To kick off this multi-faceted campaign, Knorr collaborated with emerging Vietnamese-American artist Faith Cao (@caoculator) and Filipino-American artist Amira Humes (@creative.amira) to create large-scale murals in major cities. Through these murals, the artists were able to share their unique stories of how Knorr has played a pivotal role in connecting them with their personal narratives, cultural backgrounds, and deeply ingrained traditions. The installations serve as a visual representation of the profound impact that authentic flavors can have on an individual's life, inspiring them to share their art and stories with the world.

Consumers are encouraged to visit the murals located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Civic Center, Denver, and engage with the artists' stories by sharing their own stories on social media using #CookWithKnorr. 

• Denver, CO Mural: 1246 Delaware St., Denver, CO 80204; Live through November 22, 2023
• Brooklyn, NY Mural: Wythe Ave. & N. 11^th St., Brooklyn, NY 11249; Live from November 13 - December 12, 2023 

Aimed at encouraging consumers to create authentic meals in a way that is personal to them, Knorr will also publish a TV commercial and unique docuseries. Both will spotlight individual experiences of Asian Americans and Asian Canadians by exploring cultural connections with the use of Knorr's diverse product portfolio of global authentic flavors. The docuseries, along with behind-the-scenes content, recipe inspiration, and more, will be shared across social media and digital platforms in the coming months. 

"Our 'Taste of Home' campaign is not just about bringing global flavors into American and Canadian homes," said Partha Guha, Head of Nutrition Business, Unilever International North America. "It's about honoring the authenticity and culinary traditions that define and unite us, and celebrating the stories, memories, and connections that our products inspire."

In January 2024, as part of this campaign, Knorr will unveil a limited-edition Lunar New Year merchandise collection designed in partnership with Tanya Mu (@tonton.art), a Chinese Canadian artist. The line will convey the authenticity of various cuisines through art and personal experiences. Celebrating one of the most significant holidays in Asian culture, 100 lucky customers will have the opportunity to secure the custom items at participating retailers in the United States and Canada from January 12, 2024 through February 18, 2024.

The business was formed in 1838, when founder Carl Heinrich Knorr pioneered experiments in drying seasonings and vegetables to preserve their flavor and nutritional value. Since then, Knorr® has become an international brand offering a wide range of bouillons, soups, seasonings, sauces, soupy snacks, dressings, and frozen and ready-made meals.
