Typhoo changes name for Dr Seuss film

LONDON - Typhoo, the much-loved tea brand, is to rebrand its logo for the first time as part of a partnership with Twentieth Century Fox.

Typhoo changes name for Dr Seuss film

The deal will see Typhoo rebrand as Ty.whoo for the promotion and use the new tag line ‘you only get a Who with Typhoo' to promote the forthcoming animated release Dr Seuss Horton Hears a Who, starring Jim Carrey.

The promotion material will appear on 80g and 160g Typhoo packs from the end of February and customers will also receive a Horton toy with the purchase of special 160g packs of Typhoo Tea.

A TV ad campaign to support the launch will run between early March and mid March before the film is released nationwide on 14 March.

Ella's kitchen has agreed to implement on-pack promotion to encourage children to write a short story and engage with the characters in the film. Children's TV channel Nickelodeon is also getting in on the act and will be running a series of adverts before the premiere.

Chiquitos restaurant will help to generate awareness of the film by selling Horton hears a Who stickers to raise money for ChildLine, while Holiday Inn will include point of sale material across its hotel chain and on its online-driving bookings and print publications in order to target its family audience.
