Using our competitors’ shelves in a rather unusual way we targeted the right people at the right moment and managed to generate massive attention on the Air Fryer. Results: 14% increase in sales during the campaign compared to the same period last year. With tens of thousands new units sold, the Air Fryer is starting to change how people cook in Asia.
We created a new product: Air-Oil, the first ever frying oil made out of air. Essentially… An empty bottle. And we used it as our media to promote the Air Fryer. We launched it as a regular FMCG product, distributing it in supermarkets and placing our intriguing bottles on the shelves right next to regular cooking oils. This allowed us 1) to stand out in the middle of our competitors 2) to communicate in a very physical way that air had become the new oil 3) to redirect people towards the electronic department where they could buy the Air Fryer. And they did.
3 years ago Philips launched the Air Fryer, a device that fries food with air instead of oil. Unfortunately, the product didn’t get the success it deserved. Philips asked us to re-launch the Air Fryer and raise awareness on this new way of frying.
