“NEW” Diamond Shreddies
25Feb08
Who says you need new news to get noticed? In the absence of real product innovation, Post has chosen to poke fun at themselves with the launch of their “new” diamond-shaped Shreddies. For the dimwitted among us, this may just be an exciting development in breakfast cereal. And for the more astute, it’s good for a laugh. Regardless, the ads deliver the top-of-mind awareness the campaign was crafted to achieve.
Check out the actual focus groups conducted prior to launch at diamondshreddies.ca. Research suggests that the average consumer is getting smarter and more discerning. These videos offer irrefutable proof to the contrary. Enjoy!
