Charlie Bigham’s calls for a night off in new OOH campaign

Premium food brand, Charlie Bigham’s, has launched a new nationwide OOH campaign, encouraging consumers to break with routine and take a night off from cooking. 

The execution features Bigham’s bestselling Fish Pie and tick boxes playing on the three primary meal occasions, with dinner replaced with a ready-to-cook Bigham’s, which contributes as ‘1 of your 3 a day.’  

The inclusion of Bigham’s food philosophy, ‘Only Delicious Will Do’, reinforces the brand’s unfaltering commitment to deliciousness, which won it 14 Great Taste Awards in 2019.

The advert, by creative agency Mad River, will run until late June in prime locations in London, Birmingham and Manchester, including Westfield (White City and Stratford) and the Bullring, and is expected to reach an audience of around 2.6m. It will also be adapted for the brand’s social feeds.

Bigham’s YTD sales are up 15% since the Covid-19 crisis began, which the brand attributes to increased consumer demand for restaurant-quality dishes at home and ‘shortcut suppers.’ During the peak of the lockdown in April, YOY sales of its spotlighted Fish Pie were up by 50% in a single week.
