The Oreo/Game of Thrones brand tie-up will see the Mondelez brand help fans pledge their loyalty to the Iron Throne, in what its senior director is calling one of its biggest collaborations to date.
Oreo teased the partnership in a social teaser video on Saturday, leading a raft of titles to publish the headline ‘Game of Thrones Oreos are coming’.
