Why is this work relevant for Integrated?

This is a TVC created demonstrating that loyalty schemers are like a cult. An online points calculator was created to prove how pointless the schemes really are. When competitors started to get angry, ALDI fought back online, on social media, and with outdoor advertising near competitors' shops. An online calculator was created. People who hated the ad were engaged in conversation on Facebook. ALDI kept the conversation going on all social media. 30 sec and 15 sec TVCs ran nationally starting 16 October 2018, as did OOH, online, website, social (paid and owned), catalogue and in-store.

Background

- 2 main supermarkets own 80% of the market - they offer rewards points for limited discounts Brief - show rewards are useless Objectives - get people to understand that rewards schemes were pointless

In their 17 years in Australia, they've created a loyal following by offering consistently low prices & great quality. Customers say that this is what matters most.
