“We have been delighting Canadians with our classic Chicken Noodle soup for close to eighty years,” said Philip Donne, President, Campbell Canada. “This delicious soup starts with fresh noodles made right here in Toronto, and includes quality ingredients and no artificial flavours or colours.”

To help celebrate the milestone, the “Delight in Every Bowl Campaign” was created which includes a North American-wide public relations program, campaign specific content on the brand’s Facebook page and Twitter feed including images supplied by their Canadian social media team.
