Zee Zees® Receives 2019 SnackNation Insights Award

Novi, MI/San Diego, CA (February 26, 2019) – Zee Zees Campfire S’mores Soft Baked Bar has been named the Best Bar - Emerging Brands of 2019.  The first-annual SnackNation Insights Awards are based upon millions of data points collected and aggregated throughout 2018. These insights allowed SnackNation to identify 15 winners across eight distinct categories.
 
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 2018 to establish the rankings for the 2019 SnackNation Insights Awards.
 
“I am over the moon about this award,” states Zee Zees president, Sean Zecman. “It is a reaffirmation that we make snacks people love, and what could be better than that?”
 
“Working with purpose-driven brands every day is a huge privilege, and it feels great to honor the best of the best,” said SnackNation CEO and co-founder Sean Kelly. “These awards are just a sneak peek into the capability of our SnackNation Insights platform, and I’m incredibly proud that we’re moving the industry towards a more data-driven future.”
 
All brands featured in any 2018 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 https://www.snacknationinsights.com/awards for more information.
