Whether that’s in store, or through our partnership with the NFL, making sure that Snickers and all our other brands are in every NFL stadium or every NFL household. It’s to be wherever anyone decides they want to treat themselves whether that’s a movie theater or a sporting event or whether that’s through DoorDash or Instacart. It’s being wherever they are because we know that their opportunity to be themselves and treat themselves is more complex than it’s ever been.”

Previously, the brand had hinted that its spokescandies would star in the spot, but has now revealed that celebrity spokesperson Maya Rudolph will be featured.
