Anchor Christmas Pudcast

Text size:

Brief

JCPR's objectives were: 

  • Generate talkability and WOM for Anchor Butter and Spreadables during key Christmas sales period
  • Achieve consumer cut through and deliver coverage with clear brand and product stand out, communicating relevance among primary target of gatekeeper mums with young families
  • Encourage sales

Campaign Overview

JCPR created an original ‘world first’ destinational content for media – the first ever 'Pudcast' – using a combination of research, a credible expert and bespoke call to action. The 'Pudcast', a two-minute web cast, was fronted by expert Marguerite Patten, UK’s first TV cook.

Early adopter engagement was driven via online seeding of the ‘Pudcast’ before driving debate in mass market traditional media. 

The initiative was supported by news story collateral examining the juxtapositioning of age old Christmas cooking traditions with 21st Century techniques.  The story was seeded among online communities and forums and backed by print and broadcast interviews with expert.
