Not much to say on this one. Wall’s needed a digital ad creating to be displayed in WH Smith over the Christmas period. And as always it had to highlight the remarkable tastiness of the range. One killer headline later…

Stocked in Sainsbury’s, and featuring in both their in-store magazine and BBC Good Food, this challenger brand was looking to redifine antipasti and ‘salads’ with some truly flavoursome alternatives. We helped them do it with a series of long copy ads which focused on the preparation of the food – in other words, Bodega’s commitment to ‘going further’.

I was part of the team behind creating and developing this national TV campaign. The backdrop: popular and iconic British locations to help illustrate that these are the nation’s favourite pork pies. Or in other words, ‘You know where you are with a Pork Farms’. The ads ran on all the main channels and were complemented with various events and PR.
The year after, I also wrote the follow-up TV ad featuring a competition and on-pack promotion to win a brand new motorhome.

Wall’s sausage rolls. The nation’s favourite, and a staple food in many family homes. So, what better way to help flog them than with a campaign of mum-focused ads running in all the main ‘women’s weekly’ magazines. Together with brand new packaging and a big push to trade, this was Wall’s largest ever national press and digital marketing campaign.

Between 2010 and 2012 I was creatively responsible for Asda’s regional radio; writing and recording well over 100 ads for their stores across the UK. Whilst nearly always constrained by product and price, these were tons of fun to make, and mostly voiced by Ralf Little.

I debated whether to include these; the smell of cheese hangs ripely in the air. But they’re a good example of being up against tight retail constraints and a strict tone of voice. These national press ads ran towards Christmas and all headlines had to follow a simple pattern: be short, simple and shout ‘value’ through a rather large megaphone.

A series of banners, skyscrapers and M3Us to promote the opening of a new Asda store in Dundee. What more can you say?
