[vc_row el_position="first last"] [vc_column el_class="mdlz_mainbox"] [vc_column_text el_position="first last"]
The Winter Olympics are here, and Canadians everywhere are looking to support their athletes in any way they can. Heather Gifford, manager of Falls Convenience in Niagara Falls, ON, has been supporting Team Canada by running the Pride & Joy consumer promotion from Mondelēz Canada in her store.
How it works
Consumers can download the Pride & Joy app on their mobile device, and every time Team Canada wins a medal, consumers have a chance to win, too. There are thousands of prizes to be won, including Team Canada mittens, Visa gift cards, and Mondelēz products.
Build on the hype
Canadian consumers are engaged when it comes to supporting their country during the Olympics. During the London Games, 80% of Canadians engaged through television coverage, and 55% of Canadians engaged online and on mobile devices [source: Charlton Strategic Research, Inc. (2012).

The program includes limited-edition Christie product, in-store displays, a mobile app and contest, digital and television support and exclusive category rights for gum, cookies, crackers, chocolate and candy.
“As far as the Canadian Olympic Team Games is concerned, anything associated with a brand of this calibre is a gold medal experience,” says Gifford. “Being able to get in on the ground floor of an exciting promotion like this is fun for everybody involved!”
