Luv the Nug is a digital community that unites passionate ice chewers everywhere. Found online at www.LuvtheNug.com, on the Luv the Nug Facebook page and on Twitter @LuvtheNug, this interactive program invites “nug” lovers to join the “Nugget Nation,” where they can interact with others who share their passion for ice chewing. The campaign includes the Nug Truck, a Luv-the-Nug-branded truck serving nugget ice at locations across the country in 2011.
“Luv the Nug is an exceptional integrated campaign that connects the Scotsman brand with the people who share their affinity for our nugget ice online,” said Mark McClanahan, president, Scotsman Ice Systems. “The campaign has increased awareness and excitement of nugget ice in the foodservice industry.”
Citing the breadth of the campaign, BtoB Best judges said they liked the idea of a business-to-business campaign that helps Scotsman sell more ice machines by targeting the ultimate end user: consumers who love to chew nugget ice.
