NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2013--
Luden’s, the soothing throat drop loved by voices everywhere, today
announced a new partnership with Thompson Square, the reigning Academy
of Country Music and Country Music Association “Vocal Duo of the Year.”
Keifer and Shawna Thompson will join Luden’s on a new multi-media
campaign this fall and winter to celebrate “Voices Worth Hearing.” The
campaign will include exclusive new videos and new content on Facebook

“Luden’s is known for soothing voices everywhere. Now we want to
celebrate those voices, and what better way to do that than through
music,” said Albert Hwang, vice president of marketing for Luden’s and
its parent company, Prestige Brands. “When we first heard and then met
Keifer and Shawna Thompson, we knew we had found the right partners for
our new ‘Voices Worth Hearing’ campaign. Their own story is inspiring,
and we knew they could inspire others to share their voices.”
The story of Thompson Square is a well-known one in Music City. Arriving
in Nashville the same week - Keifer from Miami, Okla., Shawna from
Chatom, Ala. - the two met almost immediately at a singing competition,
and have been inseparable since. The duo’s self-titled first album was
released in 2011 and spawned the double platinum #1 hit, “Are You Going
To Kiss Me Or Not.” The 2013 CMA nominee’s second album, “Just Feels
Good,” is in stores now. They are two-time Academy of Country Music
Award winners and a Country Music Association Award winner as well as
GRAMMY and American Music Award nominees. They are currently on tour
with Country superstar Luke Bryan.
“Both Shawna and I are big fans of Luden’s and use it all the time,”
said Keifer Thompson. “Since we hear from our fans so often, we also
loved the idea of the ‘Voices Worth Hearing’ campaign. We look forward
to working with Luden’s to find the many talented voices out there, and
to share them with our fans.”
