Perfect Italiano means no celebrity chef required in latest spot via Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne
Clemenger BBDO, Melbourne has created a new campaign for Fonterra’s Perfect Italiano, featuring the famously ornery chef, Gordon Ramsay.
Launching today, the campaign features a busy mum cooking exquisite Italian dishes. Gordon Ramsay offers to help and she puts him to work - but not in the way he is expecting.
Clemenger BBDO Melbourne Executive Creative Director, Ant Keogh, says working with Ramsay was a surprise: “I’m hesitant to ruin his image as a tough guy, but Gordon was a great sport throughout the whole production,” he said.
Perfect Italiano Category Marketing Manager – Cheese & Spreads, Tony Tyree, concurs: “Working with Gordon was fantastic – as easy as using Perfect Italiano. The concept of ‘No celebrity chef required’ really brings to life what Perfect Italiano is all about helping to add simple Italian flair to everyday meals with great tasting fit-for-purpose cheese.”
The campaign, featuring a 30 sec and 3 x 15 sec TVC ads, highlights how simple cooking real Italian food can be using Perfect Italiano. Clemenger BBDO Melbourne also created the new tagline, ‘Perfect Italiano. No celebrity chef required’.

How is this anything like that pun-tastic Pat Cash spot?
Great idea. Great direction. Great Edit. Well done.
Nicely done. These will be even better as 15s than they are as 30s. ‘Can I help with anything?’ ‘Of course.’ Cut to lawnmower. ‘No celeb chef required.’
Nice to see work that is real, hardworking, and good.
What ever happend to the cheesy Mills and Boon guy? He was genius. Stupid funny and made cooking italian look effortless.
Not the greatest ad in years, but made me smile 🙂 Nice One.
Not any more.
Lovely use of celeb.
Fun to watch. Again and again.
Kudos to the team!
Well done! Great use of a celebrity chef when compared to the work Host just posted (twice!?)
It made me laugh.
Gordon Ramsay known what he does best, helping out someone else’s wife.
That made me smile.
Its a shame they used the washing up shot earlier in the ad. Because when he says ‘anything in here’ we’ve already seen him inside helping. Apart from that, solid ads.
The spot puts to rest that all posters are haters.
When it’s good, it’s good.
When it’s not, just don’t bother putting it up for comments.

Love that this is so simple, relevant and funny. And not up its own arse. Rare to see that these days.

Bit of a continuity issue in the 30, but I can forgive it.

Not up its own arse. Unlike the agency.
