Ogilvy’s up to nothing much for L&P
Ogilvy Auckland’s new summer campaign to relaunch New Zealand’s iconic L&Pbrand is, well, nothing much. Aimed at young people, L&P has afight on its hands competing with a huge variety of other drink brands.So it’s decided to target the unique occasion when people like to drinkL&P.
According to Ogilvy Executive Creative Damon O’Leary, “This uniqueoccasion is when you’re hanging out with your mates and doing nothingin particular, so, naturally, the punch line in the L&P ad is thephrase, “There’s nothing much like L&P when you’re doing nothingmuch”.
Launchingthis week with TVCs, Adshels, dairy and street posters and billboards,O’Leary says, “For the first time everI was impressed with our creatives doing nothing much.”
In anage where energy drinks are throwing guys out of planes and off bungyplatforms, L&P takes an ironic approach. They’re positioning it asthe drink for guys who are busy doing nothing much.
Now thereare almost 20,000 people doing nothing much, ‘liking’ Lemon &Paeroa on Facebook, which is a pretty good turnout on-line for a localbrand.
