Changing tack from targeting mainly vegetarians, the new campaign aims to also inform consumers looking to reduce their meat intake who make up 40%* of the Australian population.

The market leading meat free brand in the UK and now Australia, Quorn is unique in its offering, as the only brand to utilise mycoprotein as a meat substitute in meals.

Simplot Australia introduced Quorn into the Australian market to offer shoppers a soy free alternative to meat free products. Quorn now represents 54% of the frozen meat free market, and 36% of frozen health food market.

Quorn’s new TVC campaign aims to encourage consumers to trial the product as an alternative option to meat. By demonstrating how easy it is to use Quorn Mince in everyday favourite meals, like spaghetti bolognaise, the campaign aims to make Quorn part of home cooked meals.

The supporting Facebook campaign drives shoppers online to find tips and suggestions for meals using Quorn.

Says Simplot Australia General Manager of Retail Marketing, Tara Lordsmith: “We’re incredibly excited to see Quorn take to the airwaves this month for the very first time. We hope these new infomercials will introduce more Australians to Quorn as a meat alternative and transform this innovative product into a household name.”
