Australians throw away 20% of the food they buy every year, mostly because there is little understanding of how to store food, increase shelf life to minimise wastage. In October 2014 Glad launched their new improved GLAD and required a campaign to promote the new iteration. AC Agency created and executed the ‘Keep It Fresh’ campaign, a multi-faceted strategy engaging directly with GLAD’s target customers.
Bega was flat-lining as a brand with no new product development in the offing. Bega wanted a good shot in the arm and remind consumers of the brand.
