Hovis Push Best of Both
Hovis has launched a nationwide door drop and coupon campign that aims to target 1.2m mums with its Best of Both loaf.
The campaign, created by their appointed London agency, illustrates a Hovis advert from the 1920’s, which hopes to show children and adults alike, the different types of bread. Research has shown that many mothers buy one type of bread for themselves and another for their children, normaly white with less nutritional value. Hovis thinks Best of Both is the answer to this problem.
The campaign will feature marketing support in the form of in-store point of sales, press and radio advertising.

Carex Taps Into Swine Flu Fears
Carex, the Cussons hand wash brand, is launching a press campaign in response to The Department of Health’s ‘Catch it, kill it, bin it’ Swine Flu adverts.
The campaign aims to tell people that Carex can help stop the spread of germs. ‘Don’t panic, Carex can handle it’ is the strapline on the adverts, which will run across major national press.
Getting across an important message to as many people as possible requires the use of a multitude of mediums. For instance, the Cussons’ campaign supports the multi-media government health drive, which has been raised by the influenza pandemic. The Department of Health has launched a public health ad campaign across TV, print and radio, to alert people of the symptoms of Swine Flu and actions to prevent it spreading, and Carex, as the leading brand within the hand wash sector in the UK, wants to get behind them.
A multi facetted advertising campaign doesn’t have to deliver just bad news or preventative advise though. If you need help to get your message across, Touch Marketing & Design can help you. We have created campaigns for a range of clients with a range of messages. It could be a campaign you wish to run locally, regionally, nationally or even internationally through outdoor advertising, national press as well as features in magazine publications.
