UK | Waitrose and creative partners Saatchi & Saatchi have launched a new campaign, GOOD Right Now. With multiple executions set to land throughout the UK summer, the work celebrates the moments where food is at its most spontaneous, flexible, informal and effortless - quite simply, all that is GOOD Right Now
- New integrated campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi celebrates the arrival of British summer and the opportunity to seize the day with GOOD, fresh food.
- Central idea is the abundance of effortless and spontaneous food moments, with multi-phased campaign spotlighting produce that’s GOOD Right Now.
- Running from this week to late August, the campaign is as fresh as the food it champions.
“We’ve created a campaign that celebrates everything the British summer throws at us - and the joy that food brings, whatever the moment," said Nathan Ansell, Waitrose customer director.
"Summer food moments have flexibility at their heart - and this campaign showcases fresh, easy to prepare food which is GOOD even at its most spontaneous and even when our plans go awry.”
“It’s been a long winter and everyone is remembering how good the warmer weather feels right now! And Waitrose will be showing up with just what you need, exactly when you need it now and all summer long – rosé or gin, rain or shine, penalties or tie break," said Franki Goodwin, chief creative officer, Saatchi & Saatchi.
With new work landing over four months to celebrate seasonal produce exactly when it’s at its very best, the campaign reacts to the here and now - both in store, and in the cultural calendar. Across bespoke executions, customers are invited to join both the expected and spontaneous moments that make summer great - time in the park, grabbing the extra hours of midsummer daylight, the big and small cultural moments, the all important Fridays before bank holidays and, of course, the first British strawberries arriving.
Flexible and informal dining and fresh, high quality ingredients take centre stage throughout; including British Beef Tomahawk Steak, British Bunched Asparagus, New York Style Beef & Pork Hot Dogs and British Beef Smash Burgers with Bone Marrow.
Set to "Let the Good Times Roll" by Rufus Thomas, the ad first appeared on ITV during Coronation Street and will also run across video on demand and social media. The campaign, bought by MG OMD, also features culturally and topically reactive OOH including the Waterloo Motion, and radio. Supported by social activity across the summer, featuring influencers and topical content, as well as print spots in national press, weekend supplements, magazines and digital display, alongside Waitrose owned channels in store and online.
