Only ‘Girls Allowed’ for new KIT KAT® SENSES™
Girls Aloud launch new KIT KAT®

Two British icons, KIT KAT® and Girls Aloud, today officially announced they are working together to launch the brand new KIT KAT® SENSES™

The link up will see the British five-piece fronting a TV and print ad campaign, which will embrace the KIT KAT® sense of humour and highlights KIT KAT® SENSES™ as being perfect for those indulgent breaks that women across the UK crave during their hectic lifestyles.

KIT KAT® SENSES TM will offer the crispy wafer and smooth milk chocolate we all know and love – but combined with a light praline centre providing a more indulgent break.

The new SENSES TM bar has been designed with five individual pieces that not only retain the much-loved KIT KAT® snap, but also allow each piece to be savoured individually to make the experience last.

The launch campaign will include a full marketing programme, including TV and press advertising, from April; and in-store marketing; PR and endorsement; and headline sponsorship of the largest Girls Aloud tour to date – ‘Tangled Up’ this May and June.

KIT KAT® SENSES™ is now available and priced at 45p.
