"Yes, it [iSnack 2.0 campaign] was a big furor. But that's the nature of the social media beast. To be good at this, brands have to let people have their say, in all its glory. Where brands either shine or fail is in harnessing this engagement. Kraft obviously expected it, tracked it, responded to it, and made big changes because of it. I'm
sure they learned a lot."1
- Steve Garton, Global Head of Media Research, Synovate2, in 2010.
"Kraft has turned a fairly pedestrian product launch into a matter of public pride and public ownership and affinity for the Vegemite brand… That's what today's media thrives on: the conversations, the open expression of opinions, the love, the hate, the passion
- and we're talking about a jar of spread."

- Gerry McCusker, Public Relations analyst and author, in 2009.
"Still, it's hard to believe one of the world's biggest FMCG companies would make a strategic branding decision
- putting its faith and brand equity on the line with a name like this - without taking some expert branding advice and/or doing some decent consumer research. So who is advising Kraft, anyway, and have they led Kraft astray? Or is this mess all of Kraft's
own making?"4
