Y&R & Gwyneth Paltrow play hide-and-seek for Meadow Fresh

EditorTVCs, News Make a Comment

Y&R has devised a cunning plan to promote Meadow Fresh’s new authentic Greek yoghurt – by enlisting an endorsement from somebody called “Gwyneth”, then leaving the star out of their ad.

“Kaló, begs the ultimate question – is it good enough for Gwyneth?” writes ECD Tim Huse in the blurb from the agency.

“Kaló is New Zealand’s first mainstream authentic Greek yoghurt, made using only two ingredients; 100-year-old culture from Crete and Meadow Fresh milk from New Zealand – so it’s good,” he says.

“So good in fact, Y&R believe the one and only ‘Queen of All Things Good’, Gwyneth Paltrow, will love Kaló … just as soon as she tries it.

“One tiny problem – without a Hollywood-sized budget, Y&R are taking a more authentically Kiwi approach to get Gwyneth to endorse Kaló – the campaign launched this week with a series of TVCs, OOH, digital and social aims to capture our favourite, healthy-living celebrity’s attention, whilst encouraging Kiwi yoghurt lovers to also try authentic Greek yoghurt.

“Right from the start we saw that everyone who tried Kaló, genuinely liked it. That simple fact gave us the confidence to announce Kaló’s arrival in a way that confirms to our audience that it’s no ordinary yoghurt.”

Goodman Fielder MD Tim Deane said: “Authentic Greek yoghurt is seeing huge growth around the world, and we’ve been waiting for a long time to introduce a product like Kaló.”

“We know that Kiwis will love it, when they try it. New Zealanders, and, hopefully, one natural food devotee in Los Angeles.”
