John West reveals Fisherman versus Bear ad
John West has followed up the teaser campaign it debuted this week, which introduced a heroine to its memorable fisherman Vs bear story, with a full 90-second reveal ad in the style of a blockbuster movie.
The agency behind the campaign is BWM, which won the business from Grey Melbourne last year.
The lead creative behind the ad was former Grey Melbourne ECD Ant Shannon.
Meh. Mildly amusing.
Ultimately for me, it’s distorting and extending a solid original idea from Leo Burnett over a decade ago, way too far.
The punch of the original “nature documentary gone Monty Python” idea has been lost – even if there is a fish-slap in there.

Be your best… really? I would have thought continuing ‘to bring you the best’ is better.

The fish John West reject was simple. This is not.
Creativity for its own sake, I fear. And that never works.

It’s a funny enough ad, but the fact the fish looks old, dirty and just plain unappetizing, goes against every core message John west has been pushing for years is a massive fail. As for ‘Be your Best’…let’s. be honest here,, it’s a stinker.
