‘Did somebody say Menulog?’ asks new McCann campaign

‘Did somebody say Menulog’ is the tagline for the online food ordering marketplace’s latest campaign developed by McCann.

The campaign will run across TV, radio, out of home and social, and signals a shift to creating assets that will work locally, nationally and globally.

“Our new creative platform is all about making Menulog and Just Eat [Menulog’s British parent company] synonymous with takeaway delivery. It celebrates how we deliver not only food but the delight people feel when their favourite takeaway arrives, no matter where in the world they are,” Susan O’Brien, global brand director at Just Eat, said.

“We’ve all experienced that moment of joy when the doorbell rings and your food arrives – our new ‘Did somebody say Menulog’ mnemonic celebrates that perfectly.”

The TVC, directed by Tom Kuntz, is now live in Australia, and will be followed by the campaign roll out across other channels, along with an activation at Melbourne’s Flinders Street station.

The campaign launch in other markets, including the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Italy, France, and Switzerland, will be staggered from April to October. Menulog stated that each market will have a version of the campaign in their local language and the licensing rights to roll out the creative.

“As the takeaway market consolidates, stand-out and a clear brand identity are more important than ever,” said Rob Doubal, CCO of McCann UK and co-president of McCann London.

“It’s been a real treat to have worked with the Menulog and Just Eat brands on such a single-minded brief and campaign. To capture the essence and joy of takeaway and distil it down to a few core elements has taken a massive team effort, and a truly global spirit of collaboration. We can’t wait to see the work go live. Did somebody say Menulog?”

McCann won the pitch for the Just Eats account in December 2018.
