KUALA LUMPUR, 04 February 2020 – Cadbury, one of the leading chocolate brands in Malaysia and world’s best-selling confectionery brand under Mondelēz International officially commenced the third season of their partnership with leading football authority, the Premier League.

Cadbury first partnered with the Premier League in 2018 to build on the shared focus of delivering the goodness of football and chocolate to local fans. The success of the Cadbury FC campaign in Malaysia in 2018 and 2019 was achieved with the confectionery brand delivering exciting football moments with appearances by Andy Cole and Michael Owen respectively. As the official snack partner of the Premier League, Cadbury once again introduces its Cadbury FC campaign to Malaysia with the aim of engaging fans through once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
The exclusive appearances of the Premier League Trophy and Jamie Redknapp presented by Cadbury enables the ‘live’ and exclusive opportunity for Malaysians to indulge in the excitement of the tournament through the lens of the Cadbury FC campaign.
“Cadbury has been the official snack partner with the Premier League for three years now. The partnership aims to bring together two iconic global brands that have a unique place within popular culture and the hearts of our consumers across the world. For Cadbury in Malaysia, we see this partnership as the perfect opportunity to share moments of excitement that football brings, not just to our existing Cadbury fans but to new consumers as well.” said Rahul Mathur, Category Manager, Chocolates for Mondelez International, Malaysia and Singapore.
He added, “This is also in line with our brand purpose to inspire a little more Cadbury goodness in the world. For many years now, Cadbury has represented a plethora of emotions, from shared values such as family togetherness to shared good feelings and collective joy. This collaboration also allows us to bring people closer together through shared football rituals, experiences and spirit. As part of these feel good moments, our Cadbury FC Buy and Win contest gives participants the chance to win the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the Premier League match of their choice in the UK.”
Adding excitement to the announcement of the Cadbury FC Buy and Win contest, Premier League football legend Jamie Redknapp kicked-off the third season of the campaign here in Malaysia with his three-day visit to Kuala Lumpur. The campaign’s highly-anticipated return delivers more exciting football moments to fans here in Malaysia with exclusive appearances by Jamie Redknapp and the Premier League trophy in February, followed by engaging experiences with an additional Premier League legend in March.
Jamie Redknapp who is recognised internationally for his prolific 16 years as a midfielder in the Premier League across reputable teams such as Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur shared his excitement to be part of the campaign. The legend first established himself as a key midfielder at Anfield and eventually earned his stripes to become captain of Liverpool in 1999 where he led his team to numerous victories.
Speaking at the launch, Jamie Redknapp said, “I’m feeling very excited to be in Malaysia and to kick start the Cadbury FC campaign here. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and interact with some local fans and have been amazed with their passion for the game. Cadbury and the Premier League share the same goal of inspiring moments of goodness within their fans and that’s what makes this such a great collaboration. I’m grateful to be part of this campaign and share these great moments with the fans.”
