Weetabix tops the CEREAL favourites list
With everyone shopping from home during the pandemic, we had to make sure the UK’s favourite cereal made it onto the weekly online shopping list.
We partnered with online retail media company Criteo and booked innovative virtual ads on the Asda and Morrisons online cereal aisles to remind shoppers to buy Weetabix.
The campaign secured an incremental £64k profit from a £17k investment, and the ads are now a permanent fixture on the media plan, but with a six-figure spend.
