How ads use insight...

Case studies of ads that have sound strategic foundations based on consumer insights...

Disclaimer: I'm no ad expert and therefore I will focus my comments on underlying strategy driving the comms, steering away from any commentary on the creative or execution of the ad itself.



All Bran - Honey & Almond



My take on the insights driving the comms...


  • Traditional All Bran have a large group of 'taste rejectors'
  • Growing the brand required taking the product to new consumers - the 'taste rejector' group
  • Targeting All Bran 'taste rejectors' reduces the risk of cannibilising sales of the existing portfolio
  • The ad directly appeals to this group, by suggesting that disliking the taste of All Bran is the norm - e.g. you'd be lying if you said you liked the taste of All Bran.

VB - Late Night Lamb Sandwich

This is just a great example of understanding the life of your consumer and what they get up to when consuming your products. Nuf said...
