OAKLAND, Calif., April 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kanjoya's Experience Project, an online storytelling platform, is partnering with Dreyer's Outshine brand to launch an online community experience for consumers to share how they "shine brighter" in their everyday lives.

The campaign for Outshine leverages Experience Project's innovative social platform with user-generated storytelling for those who like to share specific, unique experiences. Kanjoya's Experience Project caters to a ubiquitous audience of people who are growing, learning, educating and continually supporting each other.

The Kanjoya campaign kicks off the Nestle Dreyer's launch of the Outshine brand, which includes a new name and fresh new look for America's favorite fruit bar, formerly Dreyer's Fruit Bars.

"We chose the name Outshine for our refreshing frozen snacks because we believe that everyone can live brighter. It's something that starts with each one of us – with every little choice we make," said Jacob Abel, Outshine Marketing Associate. "The Outshine brand embodies never settling for good or great, but striving to be exceptional, and we're thrilled to partner with Kanjoya to bring this community of those that 'shine brighter' in their lives together."

Launched online on Monday, April 22, the Outshine brand is asking users to share their ideas about how they "shine brighter." From the choices they make about the foods they eat to how they live their lives, the challenge is to not just shine -- but to Outshine.

"Nestle Dreyer's has been a valued partner since 2009, and we feel excited and honored to be a part of this Outshine product launch campaign," said Erik Darby, Vice President at Kanjoya's Experience Project. "At its core, Experience Project is a massive story-telling platform, powered by a 10+ million member community. We use our community's stories – over 60,000+ generated per day – to increase engagement, awareness, time on site, etc., within brand environments and campaigns."

The online campaign is located at www.broadcause.com and is available for all users with an Experience Project account, which is free. To find out more information about Kanjoya, visit www.kanjoya.com.
