The Royals launched its first masterbrand campaign for Bega Group’s flagship brand, Dairy Farmers since being appointed earlier this year.
The campaign features a surfing cow on a 40-foot longboard, together with a lineup of dairy lovers getting their daily dash, dollop, splosh, sip, and spoonful of Dairy Farmers.
“For 125 years, Dairy Farmers has been Australia’s trusted source of nourishing, fresh dairy. The ‘Start with Oomph’ campaign harnesses the spirit of Australia and is a major step forward in unlocking the latent potential of this much-loved brand,” said Matt Gray, general manager, marketing and innovation, Bega Group.
The integrated campaign will feature across TV, OOH, social and digital display, right through to retail media, POS, PR and brand sponsorships.
“The team at Bega Group have proven to be fantastic collaborators in using the power of creativity to drive business growth and what better way to do this than a surfing cow? We’ve had a blast working together to bring a fresh wave of energy – and Oomph – to Dairy Farmers,” said Stephen O’Farrell, managing partner at The Royals.
“It’s wonderful to be part of the relaunch of Dairy Farmers – one of the most iconic brands in the Australian landscape, living in the hearts, minds and fridges of people across the country. Our ambition was to craft a media plan that launches with scale and impact, bringing the fantastic creative The Royals have developed to life and effectively capturing and holding attention to drive positive sentiment. This campaign is testament to what can be achieved by enthusiastic and intelligent clients and a truly collaborative agency village,” said Marcus Morris, client service director, Starcom Australia.
