ALDI puts a new spin on price comparison ads in the new ‘Like Like’ campaign via BMF Sydney
Following the success of a similar campaign in the UK, ALDI Australia has put its unique spin on price comparisons, in a series of new spots from BMF, Sydney.
Says Stephen McArdle, BMF managing partner: “A talking bear selling toilet paper, a stuffed trout bantering over a tin of tuna and ALDI’s brand quality products at extraordinarily low prices; all things produced by ALDI to put smiles on people’s faces and money back in their pockets. Not a strategy you can really argue with.”
Says Cam Blackley, BMF executive creative director: “We continue to prove that you can make thoroughly entertaining, standout retail advertising and achieve great business results. It’s testament to the partnership and great faith ALDI has in the team that we continue to surprise the market. This time with a bear… in the woods.”
Says an ALDI spokesperson: “The ALDI Exclusive brands are a key point of difference in the market, this campaign should increase awareness of the products in a humorous way.”
The campaign broke on Sunday and will be running online and social together with in-store, catalogue and print.

I like ’em. I just wonder how many punters would get the joke in the bear spot. But that’s OK, it just makes me feel superior.
Just great.
Wouldn’t have been funny with a nasally aussie accent. Well played on using a yank and a scoot.

Hey Old CD Guy, you’re starting to sound like a client.
So Aldi are importing their ads from the US and the UK now?
Bear spot is gold. I get it.
The Trout spot could’ve been better.
I just got the joke…The toilet paper is made by cutting down trees, and the packs are sitting on the stumps!
Genius!
Ha!
I love them too, particularly the bear spot. I wonder though why there is no rabbit hopping through………………..
Love this campaign, well done Cam, Christina, Lucas and Viney

So it’s not original, ut simply an extension of the UK campaign.
You are all wrong. This is the best one:

@LOL, read the first sentence.
I loved these when Aldi in the UK first came up with them. Also, if you’re going to execute another agencies/creatives idea please do them justice and make them as good. Plus mention them in your press release. Very unprofesh!
HORRIBLE CGI…. bear actually reminded me of the stop motion style characters from Wind in the Willows… lol
Sorry to rain on your hate parade but the bear is a guy in a suit with an animatronic head. The actor must have been missing a few frames that day.
Have these ads been pulled for any particular reason or is just because the pricing may now be out of date?
