Vegeta Australia + Adcorp

In 2015 Vegeta Australia engaged Adcorp to create an engaging multi-channel digital campaign to promote the range of Vegeta powder stock products to the Australian market.

Vegeta Australia’s goal was to provide innovative culinary experiences and healthy living solutions for Australians. The campaign used the best solutions from modem digital communication and mixed them with great ideas, and of course, good old fashioned word of mouth.

The Brief

Vegeta has long been the secret ingredient to great home cooking for generations in Europe.

Vegeta Australia wanted to spead the secret of great home cooking from it’s origins in Europe to everyday Australians and help turn everyday cooks into masterchefs by simply adding Vegeta to their meals.

Whilst Vegeta has a strong following and awareness amongst communities with european heritage in Australia,
it was identified that the brand and products were lesser known to broader groups of Australians.

Vegeta Australia and Adcorp identified early that a multi-channeled approach was needed to achieve cut-through and that digital would form the key focus of their campaign.

The digital campaign needed to be broad and cover multiple touch points such as: digital display advertising, video, campaign landing pages, online publication advertising (e-magazines) and social.

Specific objectives:
- Build brand awareness of Vegeta in Australia
- Strategy for a content creation campaign incorporating video production
- Work towards Vegeta becoming known as the “stock” of choice
- Achieve ROI on campaign
- Build an online community via social media channels

Our Approach

A key element from the strategy was to position Vegeta as “The secret ingredient” for improving any meal, and visually referencing nostalgia of Vegeta’s European origins of family memories around the dinner table.

Important to the overall campaign was highlighting Vegeta’s key benefits over competing liquid stocks. A series of online video recipes were created, with Australian TV soap star Dan Paris cooking modern contemporary meals and bringing flavour to life with the help of Vegeta. Dan confesses in the campaign that he's would not call himself a ”celebrity chef” but demonstrates that anyone can create a great tasting meal with the assistance of Vegeta.

Adcorp's approach was to use a range of digital channels, telling unique stories in each one. Adcorp developed a landing page which was the portal for a multi-channel media campaign incorporating digital network banners (include polite pre-roll videos to showcase recipe videos), video recipe production with celebrity endorsement, two competitions (one attached to the display network advertising and one social based competition) and social media strategy & execution.

DELIVERABLES

- Promotional Vegeta Landing Page provides the portal for the multimedia channels.
