Asda and gratterpalm cosy up for Valentine's Day
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, Asda is launching its 2008 campaign to appeal to love-struck men and women of all ages.
Creatively, the materials have a strong blue background and feature a range of icons designed to inspire Scottish pride.
Naturally, the agency has incorporated a silhouette image of Robert Burns to complete the picture.
Gareth Healey, Managing Director at gratterpalm, said: "Burns Night is an enormous celebration when family and friends come together to enjoy a traditional Burns Night supper - our research showed that although everyone likes to get involved, many often leave it to the last minute to get everything they need, so we've developed a campaign to highlight the products throughout the store they need to prepare their Burns Night Supper - more than just haggis and neeps".
The campaign launches on 10 January with a quirky creative approach that has a patriotic appeal.
Alison Dakin, Asda's Marketing Manager for Food Point Of Sale, said: "National celebrations are becoming much more important, and this year we wanted something that goes to the heart of Scottish pride; gratterpalm has developed an approach which is a step-change for us.
"As customers come into the stores they'll be reminded to get involved in this celebration".
