MasterFoods celebrates family dinner traditions in new work by Clemenger
Mars Food Australia is encouraging Australians to spend dinner at home with the family, in a new campaign for its MasterFoods brand.
Created by Clemenger BBDO Sydney, the ad tells the story of a young girl and her dad who share the sauce across the dinner table in a robot-like manner.
As the girl gets older it appears as though the ritual starts to fade, until her own child passes the sauce to his grandfather in the same way, making it a tradition across three generations.
Directed by Finch’s Jae Morrison, the ad also features a cover version of Stevie Winwood’s ‘Higher Love’ which was performed by Winwood’s daughter, Lilly.
The new work follows last year’s launch of the ‘Make Dinnertime Matter’ platform which was inspired by the insight into dinner time rituals that make the meals special.
“At MasterFoods we’re proud to have a product range that enables everyone, regardless of cooking ability, time or budget, to ‘Make Dinnertime Matter’”, said Tim Hicks, marketing director at Mars Food, Australia.
Luke Hawkins and Ben Smith, creative directors at Clemenger BBDO, said in a release: “We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve watched this film during production, yet every time we do, we’re inspired to get home for dinner. Hopefully the rest of Australia will feel the same”.
The campaign will run across Australia and New Zealand through TV and online.

I’d hate to think what Masterfoods paid for this ‘original concept’.

This ad grates me! A ‘please’ after asking for the sauce would have been nice.. Manners are a dying art form :/

None of the children asking dad for the sauce used the word PLEASE….. what a shame…….setting a bad example!!!!!
