New Jenny Craig Campaign Reunites Spokeswoman Kirstie Alley with Cliff and Norm on ‘Cheers’ Set to Celebrate Her 50 lb. Weight Loss*
Jenny Craig Showcases Real Member Success Stories in 2016 & Announces New Foods, Plus Introduces a New Retail Starter Kit

PR Newswire, Carlsbad, CA (January 5, 2016)
Jenny Craig, a leader in the weight loss industry, today announced details of a new marketing campaign featuring their celebrity spokeswoman and successful member, Kirstie Alley. In the new TV, print, and digital ads launching this month, Alley returns to the set of the popular TV show “Cheers,” to show off her 50 pound weight loss* to former cast members Norm (George Wendt) and Cliff (John Ratzenberger). In the spot, entitled “I’m Back,” Alley riffs with Cliff and Norm as they discuss her success with the Jenny Craig program—thanks to her personal consultant and range of healthy food options. The campaign marks the first time the trio have reunited on-set of the award-winning show.

Simultaneously, the brand will be introducing a campaign series highlighting real member successes across all marketing channels. The first ad to launch is entitled “Thank You” and highlights member Sloane’s weight loss journey and how her family has been positively impacted by her weight loss. The ad explores what her husband and son would say to the real Jenny Craig.

Also in 2016, Jenny Craig will be introducing a variety of new breakfast, dessert and entrée items which are featured in the campaign creative, along with a retail strategy with a new Weight Loss Starter Kit (sold exclusively at Walmart).

“Our 2016 campaign is a strategic continuation of a direction that continues to be successful for us and ties back to our core brand positioning – our personal consultants and our healthy, portioned food. We continue to stand apart in a competitive landscape by staying true to the supportive, personalized experience we offer our members and removing the worry that comes with having to count, track and measure food. We never lose sight of the importance of ensuring our members get the dedicated support they need so that ultimately they can succeed with their weight loss goals and have a healthy relationship with food,” said company CEO and President Monty Sharma.

Alley partnered with Jenny Craig in 2014 [with an acquisition of her Organic Liaison] and first revealed her 50 lb. weight loss* in a January 2015 spot. The award-winning actress credits her weight loss success to Jenny Craig’s unique, in-person one-on-one support and delicious, nutritious foods. “I feel great, I finally feel like I’m settling into my real body. But I just realized about myself that I’ve really changed. I don’t want to stuff myself. I don’t want that feeling anymore and I don’t have it with Jenny Craig,” said Alley. “The difference between Jenny Craig and other programs is that everyone gets a personal consultant who knows how to guide you and help you reach your goals. To me, a lot of the foods are better than I would have in my favorite restaurants, and that’s a big deal because you should enjoy food.”

‘The Moment’ Campaign Highlighting Member Success
Building on the momentum of 2016, Jenny Craig is expanding upon its successful member-based campaign with the theme of ‘The Moment’. The campaign will feature real Jenny Craig members sharing their personal “I’m ready now” moment, the instant they realized they were ready to take control of their health and weight. The ads showcase the members’ personal stories and triumphs they experienced throughout their journey. A common thread among the stories is the realization that there was a tipping point where each member recognized they needed to make a change in their lives and each reached out to Jenny Craig for its simple program based on a dedicated personal consultant and delicious food. The 2016 campaign will launch with “Thank You” featuring Sloane and her family.

“In our campaigns we are proud to showcase success stories across a wide range of members and, this year, we are thrilled to serve up a nostalgic twist, which we know will resonate with our core demographic,” said Mike Raymond, chief marketing officer of Jenny Craig. “Our 2016 theme builds on our brand promise of being there when we are needed and offering the personalized support and tools we know are needed to succeed.”

New Foods for 2016, New Starter Kit & Organic Liaison
Jenny Craig will kick off the new year by introducing a variety of new food items, expanding on their international offerings and introducing new categories to the menu such as a new Southwest Style Chicken Salad Topper. The new menu items include Mexican and Asian-inspired foods like Chicken Burrito, Kung Pao Beef, and White Bean Chicken Chili, as well as breakfast and dessert items such as Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal and Lemon Cake. These items will be featured along with other Jenny Craig favorites in the new creative.

Jenny Craig will also be introducing a new retail weight loss starter kit at Walmart featuring 5 days of nutritious, portioned foods along with snacks and shakes.

The Company purchased Organic Liaison in 2014. Organic Liaison, started by Kirstie Alley, offers products that complement the Jenny Craig program. Three of Organic Liaison’s products, Organic Liaison’s Rescue Me, Organic Liaison’s Release Me and Organic Liaison’s Nightingale, are available for sale at Jenny Craig centers and can be purchased online.
