MLA launches new beef campaign through BMF with strength the underlying theme
MLA’s new campaign: beef picks a fight
Meat and Livestock Australia has created a four-part campaign to drive beef sales, positioning it as the food that lets you take on the day in another edgy effort for the marketer.
Under the guidance of executive creative director Cam Blackley, MLA has kicked off the series with a 90-second online film supported by three, 30-second TV commercials.
The agency has personified ‘the day’ as the greatest rival people face, moving beef on from last year’s effort of Life’s a Sport, and maintaining the umbrella tagline of Life’s Better With Beef.
“It’s an undeniable truth that some days you feel like you’re winning and others you feel like you’re losing, but with beef in your corner you’ll always bounce back for another round,” Blackley said.
MLA group marketing manager, Andrew Howie, said the key to the campaign was continuing to push the boundaries of what the public’s perception of beef was.
“We look forward to seeing the value brave work like this delivers back to farmers,” Howie said.
Along with the lead ad, dubbed The Opponent, the other ads run under the banner of The Contender, The Rival and The Challenger.
