Data and Consumer Insights Names Zee Zees Campfire S’mores Soft Baked Bar the “Best Bar - Emerging Brands of the Year” two years in a row
Novi, MI/San Diego, CA (February 25, 2020) – Zee Zees® Campfire S’mores Soft Baked Bar has been named the Best Bar - Emerging Brands two consecutive years (2019-2020). The second-annual SnackNation Insights Awards are based upon millions of data points collected and aggregated throughout 2019. “Winning back to back is truly an honor,” states Zee Zees president, Sean Zecman. “We have the best team working hard on bringing amazing better-for-you snacks to the world. This award proves it and I couldn’t be prouder.” “We were humbled by the response to last year’s awards,” said SnackNation CEO and co-founder Sean Kelly. “Brands know that as the only snack award powered by proprietary data from real offices across the country, winning a SnackNation Insights Award means your product truly resonated with consumers. This year we’re back with even more sophisticated Insights, powered by the new SnackNation App, which helps our Members improve curations while providing brands with the intelligence they need to make smarter, faster decisions.” The SnackNation Insights Awards are the first snack awards fueled by data versus nutritional content or ingredient list. All snacks included in a SnackNation curation must meet industry-leading quality standards, pass the SnackNation internal tasting panel, and comply with the company’s banned ingredient list. SnackNation utilized a proprietary blend of overall product rating and purchase intent data acquired in 2019 to establish the rankings for the 2020 SnackNation Insights Awards. All brands featured in any 2019 snack box curation were considered for the SnackNation Insights Awards. The formula used to identify winners quantified both overall product rating and purchase intent data. Please visit snacknationinsights.com/awards for more information.
