Ferrero’s Adultoween Survey
Ferrero North America surveyed US adults about how they celebrate Halloween, finding that many see it as an adults’ holiday too. The “Adultoween” hook turned familiar habits—nostalgia, child-free celebrations and parents claiming leftover candy—into a seasonal culture story for local and national media.
Why it worked: They coined “Adultoween” and backed it with fresh, percent-split survey stats that flip a kid-centric holiday into an adult culture shift.
The lesson: Consider naming an emerging behavior, then field a quick poll to quantify it and pitch the label plus top stats.
