Oikos® Is Back at the Big Game with New Spot That Brings Together Legendary Football Star Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders and His Family for An Epic Battle That Tests Strength Across Generations

New Oikos® 'Family Reunion' commercial reminds us to celebrate all the strengths that make us unstoppable with its delicious protein-packed snacks

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. and BROOMFIELD, Colo., Jan. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oikos is returning to the Big Game for its fourth year to bring protein-packed snack favorites to fuel your game day festivities. For the second year in a row, Oikos has partnered with Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders to host a battle of its own – one that champions all forms of strength, across generations.

In the new Oikos 'Family Reunion' commercial, the Sanders' crew comes together for what starts as a family picnic and turns into an epic toe-to-toe competition across generations. College Football coach and dad Deion Sanders is joined by his family, including daughter and rising college basketball star Shelomi, son and college football safety Shilo, and sister Tracie; alongside Deion's son and celebrated college football quarterback Shedeur and last year's breakout star and Deion's mother, Connie. Each family member shows off a different feat of strength. Just like the Sanders are each unstoppable in their own way, Oikos has three options, all delicious and all with an excellent source of protein:  Oikos Pro® with 20 grams of high-quality protein; Oikos® Triple Zero packed with 15g of high-quality, complete protein and Oikos Blended with 13g of protein.   

"I'm blessed to team up with Oikos for the second year in a row to show America that being STRONGER MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER. Strength and nutrition has been a priority of mine since my earliest playing days, and is something I continue to pass that down to my kids as they pursue their goals and aspirations," said Coach Prime. "You have to remember, we're SANDERS, and competing is WHAT WE DO. Believe me when I tell you, the competition gets even hotter this year as we each get fueled up with delicious protein-packed options from Oikos Pro to Oikos Blended and Oikos Triple Zero."

As a part of its Oikos mission to power the strength that helps make people unstoppable every day, Oikos will be kicking off an initiative in 2023 that tackles the inequities that stand in the way of building strength by increasing access to nutrition and fitness resources where the needs are greatest.

"As a leader in the Greek yogurt category, Oikos continues to show up on Game Day with entertaining creative to challenge the perception that healthy eating is boring. We hope our campaign inspires consumers to make strong snack choices that power their strength," said Surbhi Martin, Vice President, Greek Yogurt & Functional Nutrition at Danone North America. "This year, we also have ambitions to strengthen access to nutrition and fitness resources that will help fuel the next generation of strong, healthy young adults. We're excited to share our coming plans, which include increasing awareness and co-creating sustainable solutions with key partners to address inequities in the space."

To catch the spot, viewers can tune into the Fox Sports app and the Fox NOW app on February 12, 2023, as it will run both pre-game and in-game, or watch on Oikos' YouTube channel. Fans can also view the ad across Oikos social media, on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
