The rollout of new chips and salsa products isn't inherently dramatic. Nobody waits in line for hours as they would for, say, a new iPhone. But that doesn't mean you can't create drama, which is exactly what Tostitos and Goodby, Silverstein & Partners are doing.

Today, the brand released its own four-episode telenovela, Botanas del Cielo (Snacks from Heaven), to promote its new spicy chips and salsas: Tostitos Cantina Chipotle Thin chips, Tostitos Dip-etizers Spicy Queso and Tostitos Chunky Habanero Salsa.
"Telenovelas have become a cultural phenomenon over the past couple years," said Jeff Klein, vp of marketing at Frito-Lay. "We wanted to create content our consumers would find spicy while enjoying Cinco de Mayo."
The series, which is targeted at millennials, was directed by Pedro Pablo Ybarra and tackles common telenovela themes like wedding surprises and paternity-related drama with chips and salsa playing a central role in each episode.

"Creating a campaign like Botanas del Cielo that incorporates a comprehensive paid, owned and earned strategy allows us to engage the consumer through multiple touch points in their lives over a longer period of time leading up to a holiday relevant to Tostitos," Klein said.
As part of the brand's effort to get consumers interested enough in the series to post about it on social media, Tostitos created a way for fans to personalize GIFs from the show. Starting April 22, those visiting Tostitos' website will be able to create GIFs of themselves as characters from the series.
