Woolworths’ BWS has released its Christmas campaign titled ‘Big Wonderful Summer’ via M&C Saatchi Sydney.
The campaign plays on different initialisms that BWS can stand for, for example: Boldly Worn Smugglers, Beats Wrapping Socks and BBQ Without Salad.
In one of the 15-second spots for the campaign, a man is Badly Wrapping Stuff when both him and his dog spot an ad for BWS on the TV. The spot ends with the line “Last minute gifts”.
M&C Saatchi Sydney creative director Brendan Donnelly said: “From boldly worn smugglers, bloody wanker seagulls and beers with snags, this campaign not only has some fun with BWS but makes BWS a part of any occasion this summer. We’re looking forward to opening it up for UGC to put their own spin on a BWS summer.”
BWS head of marketing Vanessa Rowed added: “This is our testament to the perfect summer – nothing short of getting Aussies back to the beach, park or backyard with a cold drink in their hand. It’s these iconic Summer moments that makes for a relatable and fun campaign.”
The campaign will be on social, online video, out-of-home and in-store.
