Pladis owned McVitie’s has launched a new campaign, encompassing both classic and digital OOH, to unveil its new luxury range of digestives, branded V.I.B biscuits.
The trio of V.I.Bs (Very Important Biscuits) comprise Classic Caramel Bliss, Heavenly Chocolate Hazelnut and Luscious Blood Orange.
With the vibrant OOH campaign aiming to build awareness and drive engagement, the ads are hosted on a A-List combination of formats consisting of 48 Sheets on key arterial routes, 6 Sheets in retail and roadside environments and digital screens in both retail and commuter locations.
The creative executions feature some flavoursome introductions to the new range alongside consumer descriptions of the ‘very hard to describe’ biscuits with typical Irish compliments such as A1, Only Massive and Deadly.
The campaign was strategically placed by teams in PHD Ireland and Source OOH with the eye-catching and colourful content produced by Pluto.
Niamh Twyford, Head of Marketing in pladis commenting on the campaign said; “”Reflecting the fact that shoppers are out and about a bit more, coupled with the eye-catching creative, we felt OOH was the perfect medium to tell our consumers about the deliciously decadent new range of McVitie’s V.I.B biscuits. I think we can all do with a little lift right now and this work will hopefully do just that.”
