Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. is kicking off 2019 with a new national advertising campaign, “Choose Wisely” that will continue to focus on educating consumers about making smart choices about the foods they eat, and avoiding excess carbohydrates and sugar. The multi-marketing campaign features brand spokesperson Rob Lowe. 
 
“We’ve seen a tremendous response working with Rob Lowe. He has served a valuable role communicating Atkins brand as a lifestyle as he has authentically eaten this way for years. The “Choose Wisely” campaign empowers consumers to make healthy choices, and to watch out for excess sugar and carbohydrates,” said Scott Parker, chief marketing officer. “While the Atkins program remains a powerful eating approach for weight loss and overall health, we continue to build momentum in expanding our target audience to lifestyle-oriented consumers that are focused on reducing their sugar intake and making smarter eating choices. Driven by this strategy, we achieved increased point of sale performance, strong retail sales growth and broadened consumer appeal.”
