This campaign, developed in collaboration with creative partners at Jones Knowles Ritchie and Arc Worldwide, is giving the power to the people. Their mission? Create an original Donut Party slogan.
Of course, one cannot craft this kind of slogan without getting to know our leading six canDOUGHdates. Here’s a look at the six iconic donut nominees in the #DonutParty.
Chocolate Frosted Sprinkles
“I am the choice for your free donut!”
Chocolate Frosted Sprinkles is on a roll with her campaign. Thus far in The Donut Party 2020 debates, Chocolate Frosted Sprinkles is maintaining that you can believe in sprinkles during trying times. In sprinkles we trust!
Jelly
Ah, the Jelly donut. Always filled with a sweet jelly inside and a lightly powdered outside. He’s running with the “Put this jelly in your belly” tagline. Let’s see how this #Jelly2020 hashtag sticks with the public!
Glazed
Taking on Chocolate Frosted Sprinkles in a heated debate is Glazed. A longtime staple in the Dunkin’ lineup, Glazed insists that “America is amazed with glazed!” The Donut Party debates are heating up!
Boston Kreme
One dream, one Boston Kreme! This donut is one sweet treat. However, he might lose points with voters on account of being the only canDOUGHdate without a coffee cup present at the debates. C’mon Boston Kreme, go grab a coffee!
Old Fashioned
Old Fashioned is a classic, through and through. So much so that his slogan invokes great Presidential leaders through the eras: “Call me old fashioned!” Lots of signs in The Donut Party 2020 debates reveal Old Fashioned could be the one to watch moving forward!

Any Emerging Forerunners in The Donut Party?
James Taylor, Creative Director at Jones Knowles Ritchie, is excited for The Donut Party — and knows this is political party Americans can get behind and support.
“Did you know that 96% of Americans can agree on something? It’s their love for donuts!” Taylor says.
In an election year with a country divided, Taylor and the creatives at JKR thought these sweet treats might be what it takes to unite America.
“What started as a welcome distraction to the election now feels even more needed as we navigate the weight of 2020,” Taylor says.
So… which canDOUGHdate will Taylor rock the vote in favor of?
“I won’t be voting for my favorite donut,” Taylor admits. He laughs, “My British citizenship gets me out of that tough decision!”
