Gorton's Seafood Launches 'Gorton's Seafood Challenge'

Gloucester, MA – Gorton’s, the leader in frozen seafood, is challenging consumers to take the Gorton’s Seafood Challenge. The Gorton’s Seafood Challenge is the latest promotion offered by the crew at Gorton’s during the six weeks spanning from February 22 to April 5. With so many delicious seafood options and ways to get involved with the challenge, consumers are encouraged to get creative about how they enjoy the goodness of Gorton’s Seafood.

Throughout the promotion, consumers will be invited to participate in a series of weekly challenges, each featuring a different Gorton’s product and a variety of actions to complete. From classics like Gorton’s Fish Sticks to new favorites like Skillet Crisp Shrimp, consumers will be encouraged to share their challenge experiences with each product through posts and photos on social media. The Gorton’s crew will select various consumer-generated content to be highlighted on the Gorton’s Facebook page.

“The ‘Gorton’s Seafood Challenge’ encourages consumers to enjoy the goodness of great seafood, in a variety of delicious ways. The first week focuses on Gorton’s Sandwich Fillets, one of my personal favorites. At home, my family and I top Sandwich Fillets with a slice of cheese and tartar sauce – very classic,” said Zach Soolman, Director of Consumer Marketing. “We’re excited for consumers to share their experiences with us in a fun way, and to see the classic and creative ways that they enjoy their favorite Gorton’s products. We’re also excited to share a peak into how much Gorton’s employees love our products, too!”

Consumers can also enter the Gorton’s Seafood Challenge sweepstakes during the promotion period. One lucky Grand Prize winner will receive a Gorton’s kitchen gift basket including coupons for a year of free Gorton’s Seafood and other branded kitchen items. Additionally, each week 20 participants have the chance to win a Gorton’s T-Shirt that says “I Took the Gorton’s Seafood Challenge!”
