Horizon® Partners With Crayola to Drive Imagination and Wonder

BROOMFIELD, Colo., May 31, 2017 -- Horizon®, a leading national organic dairy brand, announced today a new partnership with Crayola, in anticipation of the back to school season. This partnership extends beyond the shelf for both brands to grow curious, confident, and creative kids.

The partnership will feature an integrated campaign that includes a variety of interactive experiences, all of which encourage creativity, imagination and creating together. The partnership will also come to life through branded packaging on select varieties of Horizon Mac & Cheese, and on select multi-packs of chocolate and vanilla single serve milk.

Over the next few months, fans will be given the opportunity to win a cheesy mac party & art supplies for a classroom of their choice through a Create and Win drawing. These illustrations will bring another dimension to the partnership and increase creativity in the classroom. Coloring pages, games and more will also be available at Horizon.com/Crayola.

“At Horizon we believe imagination is the best ingredient. And curious kids and creativity are what we’re all about.” said Mike Ferry, Horizon president. “Crayola provides parents with the tools they need to grow confident kids and inspire a joyful sense of wonder.
