Rowntree Limited of York, England, and now produced worldwide by Nestl, which acquired Rowntree in 1988.
The original four-finger version bar was developed after a worker at
the Rowntree's factory in York put a suggestion in the suggestion box for a snack that a 'man could have in his lunch box for work'. It was launched in September 1935 in the UK as Rowntree's Chocolate Crisp.
It was named Kit Kat after World War II. The name is believed to
have come from the Kit-Cat Club, a seventeenth century political club for artists.
GLOBAL Overview

In both the US and Canada, the Kit Kat is also extremely popular and is one of the top ten candy bar brands.

MEDIA Launch
ChunKy was supported by two dedicated television adverts
complemented by a phone site campaign. Ran the Ad during the Super Bowl, and continued on teen-rich programming for 15 weeks. The advertising was a big departure from previous campaigns in that it focused on the targeted age group. It concentrated on 17-18 year olds in order to capitalize on aspiration identification from the younger groups, without alienating older consumers. In addition, Nestl invested in a range of public relations activities through radio and the national press. A detailed point-of-sale campaign supported the launch with attractive dump-bins in stores, and posters for shop windows. Field sales staff was involved in a detailed communication exercise to raise awareness in all forms of distribution channels.
