Through a series of TV commercials, print ads and social media, The
Wisest Kid in the Whole World will offer suggestions to parents
about what makes kids happy, especially around mealtime. This campaign
is grounded in research that confirms that among all their mealtime
options, kids rank soup among their favorites. The Wisest Kid in the
Whole World offers kid-friendly recipes, mealtime tips and more to
help parents avoid the “mealtime dilemma.”

Parents turn to many sources for advice about kid contentment, but the
“discovery” of The Wisest Kid in the Whole World speaks
to a universal truth: if you want to know how to make kids happy, simply
ask a kid. But don’t ask just any kid; ask The Wisest Kid in the
Whole World.

“Soup is one of kids’ favorite meals—any time of day. With the help of The
Wisest Kid in the Whole World, Campbell will remind parents that
kids love soup—slurping noodles, dunking sandwiches, spelling words,
scooping up veggies,” said Ed Carolan, President of U.S. Retail for
Campbell Soup Company. “We want to build on the strong connection
Campbell has with parents and kids in a new way with strong creative
visuals and engaging digital elements. The Wisest Kid in the Whole
World campaign is designed to prompt parents to think about Campbell’s
Condensed soup in a contemporary fashion.”

Interacting with The Wisest Kid in the Whole World^TM

Campbell will bring this boy guru to life in a variety of ways:

• Beginning September 9, The Wisest Kid in the Whole World will
  appear in five TV commercials and nine print advertisements for Campbell’s
  Condensed soup. Created by BBDO New York, the creative showcases
  modern family scenarios. For example, one TV commercial called “Dad &
  Daughters,” features a father seeking advice from The Wisest Kid in
  the Whole World, while his daughters joyfully paint his
  fingernails.
• The campaign offers parents fun ways to interact with The Wisest
  Kid in the Whole World; it includes two widget applications,
  which will be placed on websites and blogs, and amplified in social
  networks. The Kid Wisdom Widget is a simple and interactive tool that
  allows parents to share the wise things their own kids say. The second
  widget -the Ask Wisest Kid Widget – will be released this fall and
  will make it even easier for parents to seek real-time guidance and
  help from The Wisest Kid in the Whole World.
• The Wisest Kid in the Whole World also will sponsor a series
  of online videos that are relevant to parenting. Campbell is the
  first sponsor of Andrea Rosen’s new online Nickelodeon (NickMom.com)
  series “Take Me to Your Mother” as well as the “Sunday Night Circus”
  on SheKnows.com. Both programs offer comedic takes on parenting and
  overcome lighthearted challenges at mealtime with their families.
• And on September 17, 2013, Times Square in New York City will be
  buzzing when The Wisest Kid in the Whole World “streams live”
  from his mountaintop via a digital billboard to answer parents’
  questions about what makes kids happy. Ana Ortiz, a mother of two
  from hit TV shows Devious Maids and Ugly Betty, will
  appear at the experiential marketing event to “chat” with The
  Wisest Kid in the Whole World and share of the secrets to kid
  contentment that she learned from the bearded guru.

The Wisest Kid in the Whole World will be highly accessible to
parents and they can connect with him directly at www.WisestKid.com,
