CHICAGO – Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. is extending its Doublemint gum campaign with new ads specifically targeted to African-American consumers.

Advertising began appearing in Chicago and other major markets last week and run through year end.
Both radio and outdoor executions feature the tagline, ‘Double Up on the One.’
