The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Planters began in 1906 in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Amedeo Obici and Mario Peruzzi built a peanut roasting operation. They sold salted peanuts in glass jars to corner stores. The Mr. Peanut mascot arrived in 1916, a monocled figure in top hat and cane. He became the face of the brand for over a century. Planters dominates the salted nut market across North America. The brand owns shelf space in supermarkets and convenience stores worldwide. Today Planters ranks second in Food, Beverages & Snacks among 21,133 tracked brands. The company operates under Kraft Heinz ownership since 2012. Peanuts remain their foundation, though they now sell cashews, almonds, mixed nuts, and snack combinations. Mr. Peanut still appears on packaging and in advertising campaigns.
