Perfect Snacks and Ilona Maher: Celebrating Authenticity in the 'Perfectly Real' Campaign
In an exciting new collaboration, Perfect Snacks, renowned for its Original Refrigerated Protein Bar™, partners with Olympic rugby star and social media influencer Ilona Maher for the 'Perfectly Real' campaign. This initiative promotes authenticity and celebrates the use of real, whole food ingredients that resonate with the brand's core values.
This campaign candidly showcases Maher's humorous and relatable approach to life, making it an ideal match for Perfect Bar's commitment to providing quality nutrition. With each snack crafted from freshly ground nut butter, organic honey, and over 20 superfoods, Perfect Bar ensures that consumers receive a delicious and nutritious dose of protein without the burden of artificial additives or processed components.
Marion Delgutte, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Perfect Bar, emphasized the need for the brand's marketing to reflect its foundational beliefs about nutrition. “We’ve always known that the best nutrition is simple and built on real food, so our marketing should mirror that simplicity.” Delgutte remarked. Maher's raw and unfiltered approach to her daily challenges perfectly illustrates this ethos, reinforcing that consumers do not require filters for their food or their lives.
The 'Perfectly Real' campaign also challenges the commonly filtered images often associated with the wellness industry. Maher, known for her candid nature, breaks stereotypes by embracing her true self, whether she's wearing bold red lipstick on the rugby field or showcasing diverse feminine body types. She insists on representing women in sports authentically, echoing the brand's message: real wellness and nutrition stem from being authentic and unafraid.
Maher shared her thoughts on authenticity, stating, “The ideals of perfection presented to us are not always realistic. While I may not have everything figured out, what I prioritize is being true to myself, which sometimes means defying conventional norms. I don’t need filters in my life, and I certainly don’t want them in my food either. Perfect Bar offers whole, understandable ingredients that nourish my body, providing the ideal fuel for my busy lifestyle.”
The creative team behind the campaign aimed for a simple yet powerful message: real ingredients for real individuals. Federico Diaz, group creative director, highlighted the union of Perfect Bar's whole food ingredient mission and Maher's unfiltered persona as key drivers for this campaign. “To connect a product made from real food ingredients with a genuine partner like Ilona, the creative vision was straightforward. It’s all about uniting two authentic forces—two 'perfectly real' brands.”
Set to launch today, the campaign will be prominently showcased across various digital platforms, social media channels, and connected television ads. Perfect Bar continues to stand out as a pioneer in the refrigerated protein bar market, offering a range of products with up to 17 grams of whole food protein. Today, consumers can find these nutritious snacks across more than 50,000 retail locations nationwide, including popular stores like Whole Foods, Target, and Starbucks.
In a world that often promotes unrealistic standards, the 'Perfectly Real' campaign from Perfect Snacks embraces the idea of authenticity, encouraging individuals to honor their true selves and choose genuine nutrition. For further details, visit
