In a world glued to smartphones, KitKat’s iconic “Have a Break” message has never been more relevant.

Enter KitKat "Phone Break" – a playful campaign that highlights just how much time we spend staring at our screens.

The work cleverly uses the iconic tagline without actually showing it, portraying screentime behaviour instantly recognisable for most of us, urging us to put down our phones and pick up a KitKat instead.

Created by VML Czechia, the out-of-home campaign features attention-grabbing scenes in which KitKat bars replace smartphones in everyday situations. From waiting for a bus, to meeting a friend for a drink, to standing in a queue, the campaign highlights how often people reach for their phones during their free time rather than taking a proper break.

This campaign feels true to KitKat’s heritage of light-hearted marketing and helps the brand’s slogan, which has been a fixture for almost 70 years now, feel fresher than ever.
