‘Less talk more eat’: Jeff Goldblum new face of Menulog in first work from Y&R

Menulog has recruited Jeff Goldblum as the new face of the brand, in the first piece of work by Y&R Sydney since it was appointed to the creative account.

The news follows Goldblum’s surprise appearance in Australia last month, when he surfaced with a food truck called ‘Chef Goldblum’s’.

 

Mumbrella understands the final stages of the creative pitch process come down to Y&R Sydney and Richards Rose.

In two new ads, Goldblum gives advice to a woman who is trying to help her heartbroken friend, and a man ordering food while his friends are watching TV.

Goldblum urges the people to have ‘less talk’ and ‘more eat’, using the Menulog app to order food in moments where silence are needed.

Tasman Page, Menulog’s head of marketing, said the brand hopes the new ad will “resonate with Australians.”

“Jeff’s personality, in his unique sense of humour and openness, really allowed us to push the boundaries across all creative elements. His star status in everyday Aussie situations is a hilarious moment in itself, but when you add in the ingenious concepts from the team at Y&R you have a really exciting campaign,” he said.

Y&R’s executive creative director, David Joubert said he had been keen to secure director Jeff Low as well as Jeff Goldblum for the campaign.

“We always knew that together, they would help us create a conspicuous campaign, that would capture Australia’s attention and work its pants off for our client.’

The campaign will run across TV, radio and digital content, as well as out of home.
