Tip Top promotes its new Hi-Protein Bread in a new TV campaign via Colenso BBDO and Finch
George Weston Foods have launched its new Tip Top Hi-Protein Bread with a campaign from Colenso BBDO and Finch.
In a world of ad breaks crowded with nutritional messages about kids aimed at mums, this campaign attempts to bring a fresh perspective to help set the brand apart and cut through the clutter.
This first TVC, ‘Four Square’, charmingly replicates the seriousness and attitude of sports performance advertisements but applies it to a simple schoolyard game.
Says Andy McLeish, head of planning at Colenso BBDO: “Although they won’t always admit it, every parent would prefer their kids are good at stuff, rather than simply participating. And strangely enough kids also want to be good at stuff, so this campaign is about tapping into both. It’s high protein bread for high performance play.”
Says Steve Cochran, Colenso’s ECD: “With the insight that kids often take their play as seriously as any professional sportsman, we knew we had a great platform to launch Hi-Protein bread with. All it took was some brilliant writing and equally brilliant casting. Matt and Jae both nailed it.”
The campaign kicked off with the ‘Four Square’ spot this week, with a second spot to follow shortly.

Steve, remember ‘don’t tell them you’re funny, tell them a joke”?
Don’t tell us it’s brilliant…….show us how brilliant it is. The trouble is, in this instance , it isn’t. It’s not funny either.
