The Natural Confectionary Company’s dinosaurs replace humans as the stars of lolly ads

The Natural Confectionery Company has brought its dinosaurs to life in its latest ‘The Dino Pack’ campaign as Bronte the Brontosaurus tells Greg the Stegosaurus he can’t eat them because he is a herbivore.

The campaign is a departure previous advertising efforts, which focused on a father and daughter debating whether to “chop the dinosaur”.

Ashley Barton,  senior brand manager, The Natural Confectionary Co, said in a statement: “We found that people – regardless of age – enjoy lollies because they’re a fun treat. We think this campaign is a real opportunity for us to connect with them, whilst also reinforcing our functional message of no artificial colours or flavours.

“Adults need a little more fun in their lives, so we have made a strategic decision to target these consumers, using our dinosaur characters from our packs that everyone knows and loves.”

The campaign will roll out across TV and social.

Josh Murrell and Sharon Condy, creative directors at Ogilvy Melbourne, added: “When we started the creative journey, we quickly realised the biggest brand assets are the characters on pack. We challenged ourselves to bring them life in an unforgettable way.”
