Maple Leaf Foods partnered with MLSE to create engaging, family-oriented experiences across Leafs and Raptors moments. The campaign featured 'Carlton's Primetime Recipe Kit' and 'Raptor’s Real MVP Recipe Kit,' which offered team-inspired, easy-to-prepare meals. Fans entered a contest via a dedicated landing page, with select winners receiving personal deliveries by team mascots Carlton and the Raptor. These deliveries were shared on paid and team channels. Additionally, special gameday menu items featuring Maple Leaf Foods products were sold at concessions during promotional nights.​

THE ASK
