HANOVER, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Zapp’s®, a best-selling brand of kettle-style potato chips and Pretzel Stix, has launched a new advertising campaign in partnership with The Sasha Group that celebrates the brand’s bold, fun flavors and New Orleans heritage.

Vibrant campaign videos, shot in the heart of the French Quarter, highlight local musicians and dancers.

Senior Vice President of Marketing Stacey Schultz. “The new campaign brings Zapp’s flavors to life and encourages our fans to keep bouncing to the beat of their own drum.”

Fans can catch the new campaign across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. The full campaign can be seen here.
