Woolworths has Jamie Oliver cooking for dads as Coles pushes fresh produce with Curtis Stone
Coles and Woolworths have adopted contrasting styles with their celebrity chef ambassadors in their latest campaigns, with Woolies pushing the Father’s Day angle as its rivals continues with a ‘fresh’ approach.
The latest ad created by Leo Burnett for Woolies is aimed at consumers entertaining for their family on Sunday, with Oliver preparing a seemingly simple lamb roast for all the “amazing dads out there” this Father’s Day.

Oliver doesn’t appear in the shorter, 15-second edit which instead has a focus on the variety and reasonable pricing of pork at Woolworths. A woman is seen shopping in the meat section of the supermarket and chatting to an employee who talks her through the selection.

This campaign is a continuation of the TVCs that debuted on screens last week, featuring an easy chicken recipe by Oliver and RSPCA approved chicken on special. Woolworths reinforce the “try something new this Spring” message again, urging consumers to go in store to get Oliver’s recipes or online for more content.
Coles meanwhile has ignored dads and rolled out three spots featuring its ambassador Curtis Stone spruiking chicken a drumsticks offer and its fresh fruit and vegetables as we enter springtime, using the recently adopted ‘Coles Fresh’ tune.
In the first spot he plugs the ‘down down’ price of chicken drumsticks by preparing a chicken dish with a family:

While the same field also seems to produce strawberries:

Coles’ agency of record is Big Red.

Some really interesting, ground breaking, work here.
Wonder what would happen if they just stopped advertising? Would anyone notice?

Seems woolies copies everything Coles does.
We all know who the better Chef is. Just look at their current restaurants and the qulaity being put out.

It’s like supporting a footie team. I shop at Coles and buy Preston’s burger meat etc.
My brother-in-law shops at Woolies and buys Oliver’s stuff – with sauce.
There’s a cooking show for some-one. Nothing fresh – everything from the fridge.
