Wonderful Seedless Lemons Showcase How 'Lemons with Seeds Are Annoying'

Wonderful Seedless Lemons has launched its first-ever national, multi-million-dollar marketing campaign, “Lemons With Seeds Are Annoying,” highlighting the small but relentless frustrations of life with lemon seeds – whether it’s fishing them out of drinks, picking them out of dishes, or making every squeeze a hassle. The campaign includes a series of eight humorous commercials that illustrate how lemon seeds are as annoying as workplace interruptions, inconsiderate parkers, power plug poachers, taxicab stealers, button pushers, breaches of personal space, and more. 

“Lemon users are accustomed to living with seeds, even though they’re a nuisance no one wants,” said Jennifer Hirano, vice president of marketing at The Wonderful Company. “We're excited to introduce Wonderful Seedless Lemons to consumers and show them the bright side of life without seeds through this playful creative.” 

Wonderful Seedless Lemons are a variety of non-GMO Project Verified, 100% naturally seedless lemons in the United States. After years of studying various lemon buds and using traditional agricultural practices, farmers in Australia and South Africa discovered seedless lemon tree varieties in their orchards. Wonderful Seedless Lemons partnered with farmers to grow more trees and bring seedless lemons to North America. Today, Wonderful Seedless Lemons are available year-round, with national distribution, in top retailers in America. 

“Lemons With Seeds Are Annoying” will run on Connected TV and streaming video (YouTube), and be amplified through social media, print, and podcasts. The campaign will also be supported by a culinary influencer program, product integrations, and Wonderful Seedless Lemons’ cart-stopping point-of-sale displays, including a brand-new lemonade stand display designed to generate excitement and drive incremental sales in-store. The Wonderful Company’s in-house creative team at Wonderful Agency, led by Chief Creative Officer Bobby Pearce, developed the campaign.    

“From awkward strangers with no social awareness to terrible parkers, this campaign highlights how a seeded lemon can be just as annoying as life's everyday disruptions,” Pearce said. “Our goal was to help the audience experience the effortless difference that seedless lemons bring.”
