Kmart has partnered with Mondelēz to sell personalised jars of Vegemite leading up to Christmas.

For $10, consumers can have Kmart print the name of their gift recipient on a 455g jar and send it locally or overseas.

The Vegemite campaign follows a similar idea by Nutella last Christmas which encouraged consumers to take selfies with their personalised jars using the hashtag #mynutella.

Some consumers chose to satirise the brand by personalising their jars with labels such as #allergen and #diabetes.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem.
