ALDI launches new telecommunications product ALDI Mobile and integrated campaign via BMF

gran.jpgToday sees the launch of ALDI Australia's new telecommunication product, ALDI Mobile and integrated campaign via BMF.
 
The product idea is simple: take what ALDI shoppers love about ALDI - great prices on high quality products - and transfer it to the Telco market, which is notorious for expensive, complicated plans and hard to decipher call rates. From an advertising perspective, it was a case of BMF bringing this differentiation to life in an entertaining way, with a healthy dose of the ALDI tone of voice. The launch of ALDI Mobile will be supported by TV, catalogue, POS and digital.

blk.jpgSays Carlos Alija & Laura Sampedro, Joint BMF ECDs: "The challenge was to come up with a launch campaign able to stand out in the category, whilst creating a solid link with the master brand."
 
Says Stephen McArdle, BMF managing partner: teens.jpg"Telcos are known for expensive, blockbuster TV spots, so there is something quite refreshing about the understated nature of this campaign."
 
Says an ALDI spokesperson: "In launching ALDI Mobile, we have tried to keep everything simple for our customers. We are really pleased that the advertising retains this simplicity, yet is also very watchable."

ALDI Mobile offers a range of pre-paid, post-paid and data plans.

OK now that everyone in-house has had their say I'l have a go.
Idea is OK. As for the execution....utter crap.
Badly cast, badly directed and left me feeling sorry for the client.

Really... they're rubbish.

The other ALDI stuff like surfing santa, the baby's making faces – all great.

This is forced and lame.
