Peperami’s ‘Animal’ returns to UK screens

Peperami’s ‘Animal’ returns to UK screens

It's been almost a decade since Peperami’s anarchistic "Animal" last graced TV screens. Research shows that despite this prolonged absence from the advertising spotlight, Animal still has a place in the modern world and is firmly embedded in the memories of 81 per cent of UK adults.

The creative kicks off with a desperately bored-looking man stuck in a tedious virtual meeting, his boss droning on and on. Suddenly the man is transported to the inner depths of his mind, where along with floating screens and pie charts, the mischievous Animal resides. Animal keenly senses the man's longing to escape the monotony of meetings and his craving for a snack.


Seizing the moment, Anima' shoves an imaginary pie chart into the boss's mouth and launches into a gleeful chant of "meat, meat, meaty meat", as the endline comes into focus: "Satisfy your animal".

"In a world of constant distractions, virtual meetings, and endless tasks vying for our attention, Animal’s return to TV screens serves as a reminder for us to break free from the monotony, indulge in those smaller moments of pleasure, and reclaim control over our snack choices," said Emily Prince at Peperami.

She says the work takes Animal in a new direction by honouring its anarchic spirit and at the same time reintroducing him into people's lives in a way that doesn’t simply tap into nostalgia but gives him more depth and relevance for the consumer of 2024.

The campaign also highlights Peperami's diverse range of snacks, including Chicken Bites and Pizza Buns.

"It marks a bold step forward for Peperami, building on the brand’s heritage whilst reaffirming our commitment to providing delicious and satisfying snacks for today's busy adults. With Fearless Union's creative vision and expertise, we're confident that 'Animal' will captivate audiences once again, reminding them that snacking should be fun and flavourful,” added Emily.

The new TV and digital campaign was created by Fearless Union.

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

Pernod Ricard UK ignites festive spirit with marketing push

As December rapidly approaches, Pernod Ricard UK is ramping up its festive marketing efforts, anticipating a resurgence in consumer confidence after a challenging year. The UK’s second-largest wine and spirits supplier is set to inspire consumers to choose Premium+ Spirits as the perfect gift or the ultimate addition to any home celebration. Throughout 2024, Premium+ Spirits have consistently outperformed Standard offerings, making this higher end of the sector a vital margin driver.

“Since last Christmas, consumer confidence has been on the rise and the outlook for the final month of 2024 is positive," said Chris Shead, Off-Trade Channel Director for Pernod Ricard UK. "Gifting and hosting remain two key trends and retailers should focus on increasing space in-store for Premium Spirits that act as the perfect gift or cocktail ingredient when wanting to show off in front of friends and family. Where possible, we encourage retailers to prioritise categories that have been capturing the hearts of consumers and this year, our big winners have been Altos Tequila, Kahlúa and Bumbu Rum, and we expect our Champagnes, G.H. Mumm and Perrier-Jouët, to be the toast of choice for festive parties this year.”
