Colenso BBDO Create Cheesy Campaign to Puzzle Consumers
Customers were tempted with free Mainland cheese vouchers... providing they could complete the 2,000 piece puzzle that conveyed the promotion.
Puzzles have had a bit of a comeback recently with hipsters cramming into pubs, spending hours poured over pieces, slotting them together. And Colenso BBDO has tapped into this trend with a campaign for Kiwi cheese, Mainland.
To highlight that a good cheese requires patience for it to mature, the agency offered fans free vouchers for the cheese. The only catch however was that the voucher was hidden within a puzzle... a puzzle with 2,000 pieces.
Customers applied for the Mainland 2,000-Piece Voucher over Christmas and many spent copious hours trying to redeem the promotion.
According to the agency, the fastest time to complete the puzzle was a staggering 45 hours!
"Putting together three 2,000-piece puzzles to shoot an accompanying print campaign was a bit of a task, says Colenso BBDO Creative Director, Mike Davison. “Finance weren’t too happy with our timesheets by the end of it.”
Thankfully, it's a perfect way to demonstrate the brand's ’Good things take time’ slogan and hopefully, the cheese is worth the wait.
