THE HOSTESS STORY
After liquidating in late 2012, Hostess was left for dead. Five months later, new ownership wanted to resurrect the iconic maker of Twinkies. But this nostalgic brand, popular only among older moms, needed to reach a younger audience to survive. So it made a play in major markets to generate buzz, and leveraged content marketing and social media to turn that buzz into national awareness. When stores sold out of product within 48 hours of launch, it wasn't just a comeback. It was the sweetest comeback in the history of ever.
