CHICAGO, Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mornings matter. And Quaker believes that everyone should begin each morning prepared for everything that lies ahead, starting with the ideal breakfast – Quaker® Oatmeal. That's why as part of the brand's new "Off You Go" campaign, The Quaker Oats Company, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, Inc., is giving away up to one million bowls of oatmeal starting tomorrow on National Oatmeal Day to help provide people across the country with the best starts to their days.
"Each morning is filled with the exciting possibilities of the day ahead – and preparing ourselves to make the most of what the day has in store can make all the difference," said Joe Silverman, senior marketing director, Quaker Foods North America. "For many people, Quaker is synonymous with oatmeal, so we're celebrating National Oatmeal Day by providing one million nourishing starts by giving away one million bowls of delicious Quaker Oatmeal."
To kick off Quaker's one million bowl giveaway, the trusted leader in oats shared warm, tasty thank you breakfasts with some of the people who help families get their days off to a great start. Appreciation breakfasts were served to groups of teachers and day care providers to give them a little love and care for all they do. Video footage captured at these events can be found across Quaker's Facebook, YouTube and Twitter pages.
Starting on National Oatmeal Day (October 29), Quaker will begin to distribute bowls of oatmeal through a variety of ways to reach the one million commitment, including:
Quaker's commitment to give away one million bowls on National Oatmeal Day was inspired by Quaker's recently launched "Off You Go" advertising campaign. The campaign centers on the idea that each day brings new possibilities, and a nourishing breakfast – like Quaker oatmeal – provides the ideal morning start, to help everyone prepare for what's ahead. Following the official launch last month, new advertisements ran across broadcast and digital networks, and campaign content was published on Quaker's social channels.
As one of America's most loved and trusted brands for nearly 140 years, Quaker has been committed to providing nourishing products to families and helping prepare them for each day with the wholesome goodness and energy of 100% whole grain oats. Quaker is dedicated to innovating to meet consumers' evolving needs – including providing convenient, on-the-go products like Quaker Instant Oatmeal Cups – while delivering the classics that they know and love like Quaker Old Fashioned Oats.
