We just won The Most Innovative New Product Award at National Confectioners Association’s Sweets & Snacks Expo for our Strawberries & Cream White Chocolate Macadamias!🍓 What an exciting way to kick off the trade show today! There were 11 categories and 333 entries, the most ever. This product is a seasonal flavor extension from our Paradise Collection. It is crafted from creamy white chocolate and infused with strawberries to create a delightful mix of sweet decadence and tart tang. Mahalo to everyone who helped develop this product and bring it to market. Thank you NCA. If you’re at the show, swing by booth #11119. #nca #sweetsandsnacksexpo #cpg #chocolate #hawaii

A Statewide brand campaign rooted in community and cultural pride 🌺   At Hawaiian Host, we just launched our latest integrated marketing campaign: The New Faces of AlohaMacs—a bold, people-powered search for two new ambassadors who will represent our most iconic product across Hawai‘i and beyond.   This isn’t just a packaging refresh. It’s a celebration of real people who embody the values we hold dear: aloha, humility, connection to the islands, and a deep love for Hawai‘i. Over the past 13 years, Kawehi Kamakele has been the face of AlohaMacs, bringing warmth and authenticity to our brand story. As we look toward the future, we’re building on that legacy with a campaign that invites the entire state to be part of the journey.   📈 The Reach ✅ Statewide media buy across broadcast, digital, and in-store channels ✅ Commercial partnership with Hawaii News Now ✅ Strong influencer + social push to drive engagement ✅ UGC contest with a compelling call to action + generous prize pack ✅ Deep retail visibility in key partner stores ✅ Key partnerships   More than just visibility, this is about deepening our connection with our community and giving locals a platform to be celebrated as the true Hosts of Hawai‘i. Check out the campaign spot and see how we’re redefining what it means to be the Face of AlohaMacs → www.HawaiianHost.com   If you know someone who lives and breathes aloha, tell them to enter. We can’t wait to meet them 😉   #MarketingCampaign #HawaiianHost #NewFacesOfAlohaMacs #BrandStorytelling #CommunityMarketing #HawaiiMade #CPGMarketing #MarketingStrategy #AlohaAlways #MacItCount

We’re thrilled to celebrate an unforgettable evening: Hawaiian Host had the honor of teaming up with Walt Disney Animation Studios for the magical Moana 2 World Premiere!   Inspired by Moana’s adventurous spirit, we crafted a Chocolate Voyage experience, where hundreds of guests filled their Moana 2 themed custom chocolate box, with our delicious treats from our curated chocolate bar. To make it even sweeter, we partnered with an incredibly talented local artist to create Maui’s legendary hook—beautifully reimagined with edible colored cocoa butter and detailed with artwork from the movie.   This magical activation was a true celebration of aloha, bringing people together to share the warmth and spirit of Hawaiʻi. Moana 2 is now in theaters nationwide—don’t miss the next chapter of Moana and Maui’s epic journey!   Mahalo nui loa to Disney and everyone who made this experience possible. Here’s to many more adventures ahead! ⛵️🌺✨   #Disney #DisneyAnimation #Moana2 #HawaiianHost Theresa Tuxhorn Stacey Sakakihara Dayna Tamashiro Gabriel Fernando Kaci Yamato Jonnay Vilmaire Ed Schultz

If there’s 2 things we know that works as a social marketing campaign it’s 1) Community and 2) Dancing. What happens when you combine the two? Aloha Magic!   Just recently, alongside our powerhouse parent company Hawaiian Host Group, and with our sister brand Mauna Loa, we pulled off the event of the season. Imagine the scene: "Bossman" himself unveiling his much-anticipated princess dress reveal as the beautiful Rapunzel! And let us tell you, it was nothing short of legendary.   Attendees were treated to our delectable products, fun games and prizes, and the chance to win the ultimate prize - a trip to Hawaii!    As the Instagram followers' count grew to over 350K+ and as video views went into the millions, the internet rallied to get these ladies from the Corporate Comms team from Honolulu to Disneyland! And did they ever! Not only did they enjoy the day at The Happiest Place on Earth, but some followers got a special treat and got to meet them in real life on Tuesday night.   Here’s a sneak peak on Tuesday’s iconic night. And if you haven’t already jumped on board this viral sensation, hop on over to our socials and follow along for this incredible ride. #HawaiianHostGroup #HawaiianHost #MaunaLoa #Viral #Disneyland #Hawaii
